Name Change?

Hey everybody,

This might sound kinda stupid but, i want to change my name . When i first joined this place i didn't expect to become (somewhat) a regular here. I just put down any name that was in my mind at the time, and now I dont like it. So my question is, If i change my name will i still keep all of my posts? I guess its not that big of deal if i lose 'em. But id be nice to keep them.

Thanks.

You have to PM or email M. A. Dockter and ask him if you can have your user name changed. I think you do keep your post count.

Apparently DBG just changed her name to Gizmo, so it shouldn't be a concern, so long as it doesn't become a habit. And she kept her posts.

Mine was changed years ago... dunno what it was, but there was a prob in v-bulletin software as I had this prob on a few forums... I tried to put in HAL9000 and it just wouldn't take it.... so I put in HAL90001 and it worked.... requested to have the 1 knocked off obviously.

I changed mine from "force_flow2002" to "Force Flow" a while back.

I was wondering where "Gizmo" came from!
