It's possible depends if Rons willing to though.

I recently changed my username. I had to get my old name banned though, so I didn't have two accounts. The mods frown on that. Just start using your new account and request for the old one to be deleted.

Why do the mods not like people with 2 accounts?

:p two usernames are not permitted because for some reason ppl take on two diff personalities when they have two names. I'm not saying all ppl do this but when it does happen, the MODS are the ones who have to fix the mess up. If you want to changer your name I will do my best to help, but two usernames will not be allowed. :thumbsup:

:confused: Why is it that some ppl want to change their screen names? It is only a name!!!!!! Like I said earlier your current name will be deleted if a change is what you really want, but I really don't understand the reason behind it :stoned:

It's like keeping a screen name on AIM or something for a long time people start to get bored with it.

Name changes create all sorts of problems - admittedly very minor ones these days, since the board software has greatly improved. The main reason for the no name change policy is that it breaks consistancy, and can lead to confusion for both mods and visitors alike.

With that said, limited name changes may be permitted on one of the new sites we are developing.

On an aside ...

Kiwi- I don't understand it either ... I've been using the same user name for 8 years on the Marihemp boards, and nearly 2 years here - since the beginning of these boards.

Come to think of it, perhaps part of the name change mentality for some folks is related to email ... many people change emails with the seasons - likely due in large part to spam or whatnot; changing email is so easy compared to changing a real name, physical address, etc - many people just assume they can change things anytime, but rarely consider all the consequences of doing so; don't care. Guess I'm showing my age LOL! ... my primary personal email has been the same for about 7 years, and I have an older, less used one, that dates back nearly 10 years.

[flamingskullballs]

i dont mind my name, so ill just keep to myself...

i think the name changing thing is kinda like change...people enjoy new things...its the same thing with buying new motion pictures...you just want something new...

I like having old names. I have had the same email all my life. it is easier for people to stay in touch with you, I think. also I like to keep them on message boards because, (even though it shouldnt be this way) people (usually) seem to respect you more if you have been on the boards longer.

Oops Bulls didnt know you posted in here, please ignore my other post in your thread.

Ahh, I'd like to change my name too... Joined this site last night and was so high a tired I misspelled it.

If the mods or admins would help me out, that'd be awesome. Or if you guys don't feel like it, I'll just, I dunno, kill my self or something. I mean... Kill my account or something. (And make a new one.)

Thanks.
