Subject: Changing Your Forum Name?

Just wondering why you can't do this? Would it reset your member rank? I'm just trying to understand why you can't do it.

Join ODST Expeditionary Force for a more mature, friendly community!

Because Achronos said so.

I would assume his reasoning is that it more-or-less disrupts order.

Da Husk.

Get coup.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Too much changing, as Achronos said, would make it hard for Ninjas to ban people. In other words, the forums would look like this.

- Dawes, A little bit of everything

It is possible (Tom T?), however the policy is that it won't be done because then a lot of people would want their names changed and that would be a pretty stupid thing for an employee to have to do (quite time consuming, I'd imagine).

I find it to be kind of stupid, but whatver. I am completley intent with my username.

Pretty sure alt accounts have already taken care of that.

I wouldn't like the option to change your name readily, it would cause too much confusion between members about who is who.

Not true.

Some websites such as the escapist give each member ONE name change. After that, you're done. They're a much larger community and they keep track easily.

It can be done. Achronos is just lazy.

Achronos mentioned it well be a possible Gift in the future, however i don't understand why people still complain it's not gonna happen unless Achronos wants it to.

I am a huge Halo fan, I've been playing halo for a long time now and I started playing Halo After Halo Combat Evolved was released and keep playing the Series.
I usually play when I'm back from martial arts and I like to relax or when I come back from school. When Halo Reach came out I purchased and pre ordered the legendary edition.

There would be to much of it.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

He mentioned it as a Bungie Pro feature possibility.

Given the circumstance, I'm doubting it will happen.

This would be a plus. I just would like to have my forum name match my GT. :(

Same.

I really this would happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I've been part of many websites that have large communities, most allow a name change, but with a history of all previous names listed. It's not like changing your name magically makes your posts disappear.

It could all be a ploy to teach 12 year olds the value of a decision made and that not everything can be changed at the drop of a hat. And, in the grand scheme of things, you're really insignificant as far as the "system" goes. It controls you much more than you can manipulate IT.

Or maybe I'm reading far too much into the personal preference of the web team... I think the other one sounds better.
