Subject: How does one go about changing their name?

Quit -blam!- stalking me you weirdo.

I am really annoyed by my account name currently, because it is so unoriginal and awful.

Anyway, how would one go about changing their name? I have changed it on coup, but I don't feel that it is enough. Should I just make a new account, or message someone who can?

RogueRainbowX would be my new name. What do you all think about that name?

You don't.

Make a new account.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

The only way I recall being able to do that is creating a new account. If your GT is linked you'll need a little help.

Messaging Achronos would probably be a good first step. I wouldn't expect to actually get the name change though, only mods seem to be allowed name changes.

Oh well. I guess I will just message him, but I don't think I will get any attention, being I haven't been here long.

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to put more thought in my new name.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

It'd be funny if I would have the chance to disprove this by removing the rank from my name in here.

But yeah, as far as I know, only Forum Ninjas are allowed to, just like antony said.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Your name is fine.

As long as it's not XxX SmokeWeed4Life234421234322 XxX, or something along those lines, you're fine.

WinyPit82 was just a random name assigned to my Windows Live ID. Coupsters, know who I really am.

Achronos / Web Team. I only know of a few users who have had their name changed.

The only was would be with DeeJ's approval, but I think he likes your username as it is.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

Beg Achronos to change your name like Jeremiah did. He got his name changed from "Ninja on fire" to "Jeremiah".
Yes but he was an employee/moderator, Achronos won't change your name unless he feels you actually deserve it.

OP, I recommend you stick with your name, it's more unique than you think.

I'm going with the assumption that DeeJ only has moderator powers, being the assistant community manager, and that Achronos is the only one who wields the power to change usernames. Hell, I don't think urk can do it either.

You can't, other than using Coup...

Pretty sure only Achronos can change your name. Unless you have a very, very good reason as to why it needs to be changed it's not going to happen.

I can see where my post would be confusing, but I mean that Achronos seems to only change the username of a moderator, not everyone that asks.

Yeah, a few Mods have had their name changed. I think one or two regular Members have had theirs changed, but all for legitimate reasons.
