Name Change to be permanently disabled

Shawn · Aug 9, 2001

The option to modify your publicly displayed user name will be permanently disabled two weeks from today.

The constant changing of users in combination with avatar changes is allowing members to ghost their previously existing identity. This confuses other members and inconveniences the entire community. Honestly, I would have never turned this feature on to begin with, but it was turned on by default in UBB 6.

Midnight of August 22nd is the deadline to choose your permanently displayed user name.

Thank you Shawn, I was getting confused with all the name changes.

Arakon · Aug 9, 2001

Good idea.

Mystery · Aug 9, 2001

Agreed!
Finally confusing has come to an end <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Dolphin · Aug 9, 2001

Good call! I guess this confirms that I wasn't the only one around here who grew tired of the constant identity switching.

RiotoftheBlood · Aug 9, 2001

Great news.

only one around here who grew tired of the constant identity switching.

Sad thing is, its a good feature, if people didn't take the piss with it!
There's always a few I guess!
I can see the need to disable it!

samuraiX · Aug 9, 2001

I agree as well, good idea, too many problems arise.

Here, here!

LWK · Aug 9, 2001

Heh, no more fake nicks. You guys have got to admit, its been fun having that option.

Kyo 2000 · Aug 9, 2001

SUCH a cool option, to just be taken away like that. Allowing members to ghost their previous identities? It's still the same username, just a different display name.

Shawn, while you're at it... I might have a couple of left over additional accounts I'd love to have deleted. Those being KyoFury and Kyo Fury.

Damn, now LWK, Caris, and me have to find a new way to have fun with you guys...

You know Kyo, I am starting to wonder about you.
First you start to wear womens clothing now that whip avatar.
Now you are into dominatrix stuff.
If you wanted to whip kyo then you could have said so earlier.

deathboy · Aug 9, 2001

Shawn, I'd like to have another identity deleted also: dethboy. My current deathboy is great for me...

Lord Akidadus · Aug 9, 2001

Shawn,

Will we still be able to change our avatars? I'm still looking for the one I want to use....

TOOL · Aug 9, 2001

You can all thank me for the name changing disabling.

Shawn · Aug 9, 2001

Lord Akidadus, the option to modify your avatar is not being disabled, only disabling name changes.

For those of you who are wondering, the member above: Tool, was formerly known as Homeslice.

LWK · Aug 9, 2001

All you need to know is the member number.
Honestly that feature was fun.

Kyo 2000 · Aug 9, 2001

And Homeslice ruins it for all of us... BOOOO!!!

TonK · Aug 9, 2001

My name is officially changed to Ol' Dirty...

Avatar coming soon...

Hurry along Shawn....upload it!

Liquid Snake · Aug 9, 2001

Homeslice becomes "TOOL"??
Hahahahahah......

I'm happy with what I got. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
