Nickname change (read first post!)

I was wondering if I could change my handle to American!

Not happening.

I read somewhere that requests like this aren't granted, and honestly, I’m just done using this current nickname🤷

So, what's the move here? How do I go about opening a new profile?🤷

Exactly.

It’s been five days since I messaged mellowraven22 asking to get my handle updated. Still waiting on a response. Hopefully they decide to show up and deal with it soon.

Look, you've had that username for nearly three years now. You can definitely handle a few more days...

I’d like to request a nickname change. Most people just glance at the first word and assume I'm female because of the name. To fix that, I want to change my handle to rowdyridge3. I'd appreciate it if you could take care of this for me.

Thanks in advance

Sure thing, just reach out to mellowraven22.

Done

Is it possible to change my username from Law the M to ironfalcon17? I actually intended to register as ironfalcon17 right from the start, but I realized there wasn't enough space allowed during the initial sign-up process. Looking at some of the other members' handles, it seems like the admins might have the ability to manually update a nickname to something longer than the standard registration limit. So, I suppose, is that an option? 😉 thanks in advance

It certainly is, just reach out to mellowraven22...

Thanks, I reached out to mellowraven22 and am just waiting on the update now. 😎

I checked in like 8 days ago... still nothing. 🤷.

Evening 😉 is it possible to change my Scarpett ?? thanks

No, Nick is already taken.

So I reached out to mellowraven22 about 16 days ago, and still nothing!
Where’s the hold-up? 😁
(Not that it's a huge deal or anything, just asking for info... should I shoot him another DM, or just sit tight and wait?) 😉

Can you change my username to redcyclist13?
My phone won't let me type the special characters, so I can't even log in through my mobile device...

Got it sorted out!

Ty.

To be honest, I've been pretty slammed lately.

If you sent in a request and it hasn't been handled yet, just shoot it over to me again. Please.

sent 😎

Could you please change my username from burner9 to Jeffrey Peterson?
Much appreciated! 🙂

Sure thing. Just reach out to mellowraven22.

Should I go with Kili or Killy?
Most people just call me that anyway 😁
Thanks

Nick is busy... I mean, is it really that much trouble to check if a username is available before you try to grab it?

Ethan Cruz7... I took a look through the list and couldn't find that name anywhere. I would be incredibly grateful if you could help me out, as this particular name is tied to an ex I have absolutely no desire to be associated with ever again... thanks.

Can you please reach out to mellowraven22, preferably via Ethan Cruz7?

Can I swap out Snješka73 for steelpilot8? Honestly, the numbers don't even mean anything to me anymore, and from what I saw, the handle is actually available!

For sure! Just reach out to mellowraven22.

I suppose I should just ask this purely for information... Yes, I’ve gone through all the rules and everything. Basically, if I decided to commit fully—meaning, if I stopped causing such a distraction by adding my surname to the main username and making things awkward for everyone—would a change to Zekoslaw be permitted? She isn't taken, whereas all the other variations like Zekoslaw or Zekoslaw Smith are already claimed. Besides, that's essentially what my friends here call me anyway, so it wouldn't feel like such a massive leap as it might seem... 🙂

vividtiger922, I honestly think switching up your handle is a killer idea. 😳 😁

Also, just so we’re all on the same page, I want to point out that Zekoslava and Zekoslava Mrkva haven't been active for over a year now. You should totally feel free to put in a request for one of those names. It’s high time someone cleared that clutter out. 😉

Goodness, you can clearly see I’m still feeling rather indecisive... I’ve actually grown quite fond of this ridiculous username, in its own peculiar way... 😢 😍

I suppose I’d love to finally be called by my real name... if only... 😁

I know it’s been a topic of conversation lately, and while technically possible now, it still feels somewhat uncouth... What if she actually comes back? 😁 Honestly, what I actually need is... well, I suppose it doesn't really matter what I do with it. 😁

Whatever the case may be, there's no sense in us sitting around here talking in circles and making a whole production out of nothing while the rabbit is still out there in the woods...😍As far as I’m concerned, I’d be perfectly happy with either Jane—assuming she’s even reachable—or Polish Jane. And honestly, to keep things simple and avoid any headache with special characters, we could just go with Jane... though, let's just wait for an official statement from the authorities, because this whole situation is becoming more complicated than renaming Times Square... 😁

Get in touch with Tyndall, provided he actually gives the green light for the change...

As it stands, there are currently no plans to implement the process of allowing users to claim the handles of existing forum members...

I get it. 🙂

Honestly, I’d love to finally ditch this handle and go by my actual name. Yeah, I really would. : D

😁

Look, I know people have been buzzing about this lately, and yeah, it’s technically on the table now, but honestly? It feels pretty disrespectful to me. It just sits wrong. Like, what happens if she actually shows up again? What then? 😁 Look, at the end of the day, what I actually need is what matters. What else am I supposed to do? 😁

Look, if someone hasn't logged in for years, there’s zero point in letting an unused handle just sit there gathering dust. If someone else who actually shows up and participates wants it, let them have it. Especially when we're talking about usernames backed by hundreds of posts—even if it's just a hundred. It's not like you're stealing the identity of some legendary figure who left a massive mark on the community. 😉

Whatever the case, there's no point in us sitting around here yapping and making plans for a BBQ while the rabbit is still out running wild in the woods.😍Personally, I’d be cool with either Jane or Polish Jane. Honestly, let's not overthink the punctuation—just calling her Zekoslawa works fine for me. Anyway, let's just sit tight and wait for the authorities to weigh in. This whole thing is getting more complicated than trying to rename Times Square. 😁

Nothing with you ever stays simple! 😛 😁
