yea, what bob said, except do not contact me about this. i will announce it in this forum when the time comes. what i don't understand is why somebody who just registered and has only 2 posts would already want to change their name? just being a donkey or what?
as for already taken names - if a name is taken by someone who hasn't logged in for a considerable amount of time, i will sometimes delete them and make the change. but keep in mind that lots of people are active viewers without being active posters. i will not take a name away from someone who is active here in any way.
Last year we got name changes as Christmas presents...only problem was you had to wait another year to change back. And if in that time somebody took your old name there was no way to get it back.
actually, i just created a "new" account since i have an older one. it just occurred to me to do a check to see if user names were changable by some other means.
