    • Well, atleast I will never have to deal with the whole:

    "You got a visitor message from someone you haven't seen in a while!"
    "Um, who are they?"
    *Checks back to statistics*
    "Ah, now I remember, they were _____"

    It saddens me that I can't change my name anymore, but it's not like I need to.
    This name is pretty good with me.

    Now somebody better tell me who the hell used Typhlosion to represent themselves. >:O

    This sucks :/.
    RAWR.
    Guess I better pick a new name (I was getting tired of this one).
    Hopefully this feature will be reinstated in future.

    • Just a random question. Why did you change some names before February 10th?
    Not trying to get in a big argument or anything. But it stumbled upon my mind.

    • Just wondering though, aren't the names stored in just one place? why would there be multiple references to a name? It would cause a lot of overhead if everything is stored a lot of times. Or are the usernames linked to a post instead of the userid?

    I have a question.
    I know it's kind of obvious lol.

    The site will be down tomorrow for maintenence because you Admins have to input everyones new names if they requested?

    Good luck,I'm sure you'll need it.

    • This might seem a stupid question... Say all the names are changed, what would happen if you didn't know, and you logged in with your old Username? Would it still work? What I'm saying is, how will we know when to log in with our new Username?

    Well,If you press remember me which personally I usually do because personally i hate signing in. T~T I just want to post but if you aren't signed in I'd either check a thread you created or one of your posts.And it's actually a good question.

    I'd say try with your old one. If it didn't work, try with your new one.

    Worst case, check the thread since we'll probably announce how far we got as we do this.

    I thought that it was only me; never bothered asking.
    But yes, if someone could answer that; it would be helpful.

    • But then how do we know of rather recent name-changes? o.o

    I'm currently updating this thread over here, and I'm coming across a handful of "new" names. In the past I'd just check the histories, but now that is no longer an option. >_<

    But meh, once names become static, this'll cease to be a problem. ^^
