Names
 

Err dude how do I change the name??(I won't change it but if I will...):crafty:

Which name is ‘the name’? If you mean your Oddworld Forums username, you cannot change that, and you asked the question in the wrong place.

1.Ok thanx for info.
2.Sorry for asking here.
3.Last think...I remember Nate was once Nate_dog_woof...How did he change??

He has that power. Global Moderators and Administors have the ability to change someone's name. Being that Nate is a Global Moderator, he can change his own name.

Oops, I copied Slaveless’s post here forgetting I’d be unable to edit out the irrelevant bits having done so.

I guess I will have to edit that out, for sake of relevence...

That, and for the sake of people who might start to question your sanity. :p

Occassionally we will allow someone to change their name. Generally that happens because they just joined and realised that they made a poor choice (possibly because someone else has a similar name). Very rarely we will allow a respected member who has been here for several years to change their name; we prefer not to do this because it confuses people and mucks up the flow of old threads.

Besides even Nate had to get 'approval' from the big boss so that goes to show you how exclusive this is.

There's no way Big Al would have said no to that though.

I can't remember if he asked or not. I think it was just whether he should capitalise the 'n' or not :p

He pretty much has free reign.

Alcar...

You could just be a total bastard and start a new account with the same sig/avatar ala Esus and whatever his other name was. He were cool.

Feel free to edit this post/ban me at your leisure, chaps.

Not before I ban anyone who tries that stunt, block their IP and burn down their dog's kennel.

I think that was because of some technical reason. I dunno. It was technical. I forget.

I was advised to ask here if I could have my name changed to just Jordan. What do you guys think?

I say go for it.

Official Channels would be to send me or Alcar a PM. Then we'll discuss it amongst ourselves and get back to you.

No.

10 Characters.

He did :p I asked him to post in FS&H, and see what the general reaction was :p

Alcar...

Let him change it!

I read about Jordan’s proposed name change in EL first, but I think it’s only fair to support it publicly, because I like it.

I believe Esus’s second account was Shrink. I miss Esus as a member.

Yes I think Jordan is better...

I've always wanted to change my username....

Errr... no. You haven't been here long enough.

In any case, such requests should be made via PM and future threads about this will be ignored.
