Since it is an old account, that name is still in use.

I've seen old accounts been merged with new ones before when posters started new accounts. Isn't it possible for Optic Rage's old account to be merged with his current one?

You don't have to worry that he isn't the genuine article; his posting style and personality... kinda give it away.

The trick is merging it with an old account which he can not access. If not done right, it could cause him to lose access with his current account.

Well, I would like to request anyway to change this to demod as I do not want to use my real name and this handle I am not supposed to use anymore due to conflicts with my work forum handle. Hope you guys can understand and let something as simple as a name change pass. Thanks.

[[Trigger]]

Don't think I found this answer around or maybe I missed it. I'm assuming you guys don't do this, but what's the policy of getting old unused user names?

[Conn Seanery]

Short of getting permission from the former user, I don't think we can.

[[Trigger]]

Yeah i figured as much. Didn't find any postings from the user "Trigger" so I assumed he never posted or they were old threads that were erased. Thanks

[Matt]

We don't change it. It's a simple matter of first come, first served.
It saves a lot of arguments.

[Mormel]

I've thought this over, and I would like to use my freebie to change my name to Mormel. It's less cumbersome than the nickname I was using first. It's not motivated by privacy concerns, I've just come to feel as though a nick fits me better on this particular forum than my real name does.

So would that be okay?

[Conn Seanery]

So would that be okay?
Sure, but understand that this is it. Unless you're going back to your real name, you're Mormel from here on out.



Now and then, a user wishes to have his or her User/account name changed. This is fine.
The purpose of this thread is for those that want their username's changed to post here with their request - it's just a lot more organised than Private Messages.

Please note, however, that the current Forums Guidelines on this matter are still in effect. For those that need a reminder;


The chances of getting a Handle changed unless it is to a real name is pretty slim, so please do not request it unless there are some unique circumstances involved.

The following formats are the standard name changes;
First name (don't be surprised if name is already taken though).
First name, last name.
First initial, last name.
First name, last initial.
Other combinations/arrangements may be fine, on a case by case basis.

07/04/11 New Policy
Everyone is permitted one gratuitous name change to whatever you want (pending admin approval). After that, it's your real name or bust. If you wish to speed up the process, acknowledge that you're aware that your request will use up your one free name change in your post.

[Mormel]

I was aware of the terms before requesting. Thanks, Conn.

[Conn Seanery]

Oops, didn't see that you mentioned the freebie name change in the request. Wasn't trying to brow-beat you with the rules, sorry about that.
