Ok, I don't like my b.net name at all, and I'm sure many others would agree that it's pretty lame.
I've sent PM's asking for it to be changed, but no luck yet.
So I was wondering, who else doesn't like their b.net name...?
I was thinking of some sort of 'competition' if you would call it that, and the person who's name is voted worst, gets to have it changed to what they like, (if the powers that be co-operate...).

So yeah, the first entry:

Current Name THE CHIEF 87
Why I hate it I chose it when I joined back in 2004, I was obviously younger then. CAPS, numbers, the un-originality... It's just bad...
Preferred new name Skibur, it's my GT etc. I want to have one universal name.

Others that want their names changed...
- p8baller18
-spartan0369
-kilroy

(I'm prepared for some sort of flaming, but please don't. Just let it die if you feel it should die...Also for those that would just say 'make a new account' what happens to my groups, linked Gamertag, and my email address can only have one account.)
(I also know the majority of people like their name, but I'm sure there are those who don't.)

Because you are what you eat, and you know what it is.

Just make a new account and stop using this one.

Honestly, I think you have exactly 0.07% chance of your name being changed.

Hmm, ok then... well how can I make a new profile, still be admin of my group, still have my GT linked and still use the same email account that I have been using for the last 5 years...

Exactly, I don't think I can.

You could try closing your account at the .net passport website.

they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Not easily, no...

Name changes aren't something given freely. Even some mods have trouble convincing Achronos...

I suggest just keep active, and make sure Achronos knows you want it changed. While I don't speak for him nor from experience, he may make the seldom exception for a valued member.

Just don't spam him with PM's. That would, obviously, have the adverse effect!

  • 01.27.2007 6:22 PM PDT

Yeah, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I've had my name since mid '04 and ever since then had way too many people make fun of it.

For the record; I know it doesn't have an N, so stop telling me.

  • 01.27.2007 6:32 PM PDT

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Haha, the second I saw it I was like.. "Where's the N?"

Exactly, and like you I don't want to make a new account. Too much work for such a little problem. All I can do is hope.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

So?

I want my name changed too, but did I get it?

No.

Suck it up and deal with it, Achronos doesn't do name changes on request.

You, good sir, are a hob-goblin...

Try not turning another decent thread into a canned meat war...

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?

I like my name. Make a new account and start off fresh.

Well here's the thing: everyone here was younger in 2004. That is why they won't change your username, you need a new account.

I've already said that creating a new account would be very troublesome.
Anyone know the reason/s that Acronos doesn't like changing names?

Ever heard the phrase, "Give an inch and they'll want a mile"?

If Achronos allowed one person to change his name, then pretty soon literally thousands of members would be begging to do so.

I understand.

Oh damn, so if my name was changed now, people would notice, and be like 'Be fair and change mine too.'
So I've just destroyed any chance I had, if there was ever any chance...

Poo.

I wasn't trying to own him... I was merely pointing out that he didn't ruin his chances, as he didn't really have any to begin with...

Geesh...

On the passports.net page, how can you delete individual services (eg, my bungie.net service...)

Not really sure. I don't think it's something on your .net passport, and more on the side of being stored in Bungie's servers...
