This thread is to discuss the general topic of changing usernames.

To discuss your personal username, please continue in the following thread. The Changing Usernames Advice Thread

Do we think people should be allowed to change there usernames for the sake of it? As Vlamm stated here
I would have to agree, even though i did it but we shouldnt do it for no reason.

it is a bit confusing when people with high post counts change there name, as it appears that there is a new member but they already have 500+ posts.

Of course it must be allowed, why not? if ppl recognize u, it depends on u. Until now i didnt know u done the change. This message was posted from a T630

well to start with question 2: i vote yes... but since you have posted so much now as trigga perhaps others might get confused.


question 1: I really really do not see the 'fun' in changing usernames. Now for example orangeman/wapchimp I can understand... he named himself after his site (or wap site)
This I can somehow remember (or at least try to) and serves some purpose I guess.
I will still be caling him orangeman for years to come but that's because i am used to calling him that.

But leksandfan/leks, lynx/trigga jojo/jn to name a few recent ones..... I'm afraid there is no real way for me to remember who is who. Suppose all 44000 members would go change their username tomorrow. Wouldn't we all be very very very lost?

And if you get to change your name for no reason but being 'bored with the old one'... then what is to say you won't get bored with the new one at some stage? And change again? And again?


Now change all you like but don't start giving a hard time to those who simply cannot be bothered to remember it all.

this is a HUGE forum. You cannot expect everybody to know who you are. Especially not if you change your name. You're lucky i recognized your sig coz otherwise i would have never known.


Perhaps people should be given a new account with 0 posts for each new name... and have the old one deleted

I think that might make it a LOT less popular to change it

I just thought this name was better.

No real reason though. Thats why im thinking of going back to Lynx69 so people recognise me and asking people of they think its better that people can only change username if they have a satusfactory reason.

[EDIT] I completely agree with Vlamm

Names doesnt count so much, more the effective presence and good behavour on esato. But to be respected and to be welcome for older and newer members u have to keep to your chosen name, just as in real life. My 2 sentences, and the truth is maybe somewhere between them, are total different points, but i can and have to accept both, for an objective result. This message was posted from a T630
