Changing my username

Look, I don't even know who else to hit up since I've already slid into the DMs of basically the entire staff and nobody's getting back to me. Can you guys just change my nickname to Middle-earth? I'm using that everywhere now, so I guess it would be cool if people actually recognized me here too. Thanks!

I know this goes against the rules, so maybe just make a new account... :P

Would someone be able to update my username to Middle-earth? I’ve transitioned to using that handle everywhere else, and I’d appreciate some consistency so people can recognize me here. Thanks!

Just reach out to one of the admins directly.☕

Yeah, I tried, but nothing. Guess they aren't even online right now 🙂

they'll be changing their tune the moment they catch sight of 😉

No major changes needed to the handle—just log back in and you should be good to go.

No.
We only handle minor cosmetic tweaks to usernames here...

They really only allow minor aesthetic tweaks to a username.

What exactly do you mean by that? I know plenty of people on this board who have completely changed their handles.🤷

Yeah, they just drop a word, a number, or maybe some symbols... nothing major.
Like, someone goes from Soon2ba to Soon li or something along those lines.

But you couldn't just swap casualeagle over to Middle-earth... that wouldn't fly.

Why? This is such a joke. You seriously can't even change your handle? Now I’ve got people on twenty different forums recognizing me as Morgan Newman, and then I show up here and I'm supposed to be casualeagle. I honestly don't get what the big deal is. I even went through the hassle of updating my email, too.

Just sign up again. Nobody's stopping you from making a fresh account with a new handle 😉

So what’s even the big deal about just changing a handle?

The issue is if they changed my name too, after I've put in 9k posts, then some third party would just step in...

We're talking about minor aesthetic nickname tweaks here, not the radical overhaul you're dreaming up. Besides, you've only got 69 posts—what's the big deal about re-registering? If it's really that pressing, I'll go ahead and re-register right now using that new handle of yours. 🤣

I didn't even realize I'd already snagged this handle 😁

What the hell 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Good grief, you're absolutely out of your mind.😁

Someday, I’ll finally start a thread on the general board titled "The Greatest Failures in the History of this Forum."🤣

I can't believe we're still talking about this. Seriously, how many times do we have to go over the same ground before it sinks in? It feels like we’re just spinning our wheels at this point. Is anyone actually seeing what's happening here, or am I just shouting into the void? We all know the situation is messy, but pretending otherwise isn't helping anyone. We need to get real about the facts and stop dancing around the issue. Does it even matter if we keep debating the same three points every single week? At some point, you have to look at the actual results instead of just arguing about theories. Let's be honest with ourselves for once. What's the endgame here?
