    Default When peeps go changin' they usernames, knaamean?

    This Thread is so blatantly inspired by the amazing Devil Man's 'When people change their Avatars' thread. Way to go Devil Man, you handsome, dazzling, amazing and v-e-r-y sexy guy you!

    So, like, yeah! What do you think when people go changin' their Usernames? Don't ya just hate it? Or do you not mind? Does it confuse the heck outta ya? Do you think the Admins are just too polite and sweet and should stop such a nefarious (<--- I think I spelt that word right) deed?

    What doooooooo you think?

    I'd only not be bothered by a user name name change if I wasn't familiar with the member or the new user name is several leaps better than the last. All other user name changes annoy me.

    Well, you're not allowed to do it that often so if the name is a bit tough to adjust to, at least we have plenty of time to do so.

    The two times I changed my name have been subtle enough for people to still know who I was, so I don't think I've burdened anyone too much.

    If you don't support the changing of usernames then you support the terrorists!

    It's not nearly as complicated as changing your name for realies.

    But it does get confusing.

    I enjoy it when the staff choose to change the username of the member.

    Their choice, not mine. And as mentioned, sometimes, the new name is better.

    Many thanks Christmas!

    I don't come around much these days, but I think it would be far less annoying if, instead of asking an administrator in a single private message, people simply insisted in every thread, regardless of the topic, that everyone should start calling them by a new name. That's a far better system in my mind.

    I don't think anyone cared when I changed from "roto13" to "roto13-ness". Though I kind of wish I hadn't. :P Two more months or something.

    Again, Her Majesty's Agent Umaro was a great change.

    I am thinking of capitalising the "b" in my name. Lowercase suits me better though; at least on the first name.

    This is a typical example of a bad name change.
