Name Change?

Poppyseed45 · 06-13-2011, 10:54 AM

I'd be interested in changing my forum user name. How is that done?

Thanks.

Thanks.

But, why? 'Mecelus', IIRC, that is an old and honored name. It means 'Look! The cattle are dying!'. I think you should be proud of that distinguished family name.

You're already in the right place. What did you want your new name to be?

Please note the following:

1. Only an admin can make this change, and the admins are very busy. So this may take some time. Be patient.

2. You'll need to leave a note in your signature for a while that says, "Formerly known as Mencelus," to avoid confusing people. At least for a month or so.

Thanks for that.

I'd like the new name to be:

Numa Pompilius

I'm patient of course. ;) Thanks very much!

Done! You should have received an e-mail reminder to this effect, too.

Apparently one can get a forum name change. I only chose this one a long, long time ago back when software accounts were limited to 8 characters, and they all had to be lowercase letters, so...

Oh great and wise admins! I beseech thee, let me be known far and wide by my true name, "DemiBenson". :D

Yes, I know I'll have to put "Formerly known as..." in my sig.

Done! Sorry it took so long . . . I've been busy elsewhere, and I only just saw the request today.
