I know you guys have said over and over again that you will not change a name to one that's already in the DB, no matter how old it is even if it has NO POSTS and has shown no activity in over 4 years ( )

Any reason why besides the anticipated and obvious "because we don't"? Just curious...

Somone already registered it and its their right. I dont think you can make a company and call it microsoft now can you?

People come back, you'd be surprised

And thats why I registered matt74441 the second after I changed my name.

You could nick someone else's Identity

the ™ is very out of trend IMO.

Don't do that.

Well Matt was taken. And you shouldn't talk, you've probably changed your name about a half dozen times now.


I did it so I could change back if I ever wanted. Besides, its not like I can do it again

it's not allowed. the account has been banned. Yo uare allowed one and only one account here. It's clearly stated in the rules.

well, it needs to be said...

<<<OWNED>>>


That's cool. Just thought I'd ask. Being as how every person is only supposed to have one nic, it seemed to me that if you wanted a nicK w/ no posts, was banned (maybe both), and a few other possibilities/combinations (permission from person via email address on file w/ that nick) that maybe it should be allowed. Having "so many members" signed up is great and the number looks cool, but if it's not an actual contribution to the forums/site then it's just a silly number.

Thx everybody.

Wait, super mods can ban accounts?

Of course.

And I can null-route your IP

how evil is that...

Well, they are evil.

..True

Bottom line : if we do agree to change your name, it will not be acceptable to ask us to change it to an existing name. It's obvious why - asides from the fact that it would be unfair on that other party, we've many people who sign up just for the perk of signing up - they might not post.
