Can I have my username changed?

I'm one of those who came way, way after the name-change feature was taken away. For those who got to change their usernames, hope you guys had fun and are content with their current username! I don't mind that I didn't get to experience it myself; I like my current username just the way it is and I don't have any intention of changing it. If I ever changed it for any reason, it would be to capitalize the first letter and make it Synerjee, or just shorten it to Syn. Other than that, no thanks, I'm content with what I have. I don't like making drastic username changes though as this might confuse other people or I might get mistaken for another person altogether. Identity is important to me!

If this feature were to be brought back in the future, I'd say why not? As long as it doesn't put a whole mountain of pressure on the server as it used to, it should be great. :3

Creating a new account because of wanting a new username? Hmm......naaah. I'm much too lazy, plus it's too troublesome. And I love my supportership and my postcount lol xP
 
I only came here in March, so I missed out on the name change period.
I made a new account cos I was displeased with my first account (It was Lugia's Shadow - why use it if I didn't like Lugias that much?), and now I'm more known as Classic Sonic...

Would I like to change my username? Nah. Either that, or make it just Sonic. Or Mikasa (I've recently gotten into Attack on Titan..), but then there's the identity problem, where people might not know who I am...

"Do you think it's fair that at one point people were allowed to have their username changed, or does that not bother you?"

To be frank, I'm not really bothered at all. If it was causing the server problems, then the best idea is to scrap it. I prefer the alternate accounts where you tell people who you previously were.

And to both parties:
"Would you like to change your username now? If so, to what? Also, would you like to see them back if hstaff found a way to have it happen without the server crashes? Or would the hassle of having to create a whole new account not phase you in the slightest?"

Yeah, of course I would. I'm only really known by 2 aliases anyway, so I'd go by either of them. As for the server crashing question, I'm not really phased about creating another account, I can live with that.
 
I have no reason to change my name. This is the username I use across a wide variety of forums in order to allow me to be easily recognisable. If I were to change my username in a single place, in order to maintain the equilibrium I'd have to alter it everywhere else, wouldn't I?
