J2O Name Change Requests (Read first post!)

[Stijn]

From now on, we allow people to change their user name on J2O. The rules for this are a bit more strict than for changing your JCF user name:
<ul><li>You can only have your user name changed once, and only when you have a valid reason to do so.</li><li>Valid reasons include:<ul><li>Removing clan tags</li><li>Removing fancy ASCII and capitalization (VèGÃ(-)Tø -> Vegito)</li><li>If your new nickname is the one you have been generally known as in the community, for a good while, and it is sufficiently different from your current nickname.</li><li>If your reason for wanting to have your name change is not included in here, you can still request a change, but of course you need to convince the admins that your request is valid.</li></ul></li><li>If a user with your desired new username already exists, your name can not be changed. Whether that other user is active or not does not make a difference.</li><li>Admins reserve the right to deny a name change request without giving a reason.</li><li>To have your name changed, post your current J2O user name, the name you want it to be changed to, and a good reason in this thread.</li><li>Name changes will be recorded in the user's profile. This can not be removed from your profile.</li></ul>Only replies concerning name change requests by people who want their name changed OR J2O admins replying to those requests are allowed in this thread. Other replies will be deleted and their authors will receive a subwarning.

Addendum: Note that we allow this now after long discussion etc. It has not been triggered by any people asking about it recently (gerard24423213). Just to clear things up.

[DarkSonic]

I'd like it if my name got changed from 'da man' to 'DarkSonic' because some people don't know who da man is and I just made that name up for fun more than three years ago. And I've used 'DarkSonic' for every other forum.

[cooba]

Request fulfilled.

[Valco]

Did this have anything to do with my suggestion?

Anyways, I'd like my J20 name to be changed from:

Gerard244

to:

Valco

as well. No-one will be able to identify me from my J20 name if I don't, so I believe it's necassery. And I'm the one who asked for this in the first place, on the original thread.

[Grytolle]

"Grytolle", please

[master sven]

'If the current nickname hinders recognition throughout the community.'

Please change my name from masterrokusho to Master Sven.

[Stijn]

Grytolle: What's your current name?
master sven: Will do.
the WINNER: Not a valid reason.

[n0]

'N0B0DY' to 'n0'

Name recognition and all that. You know, in case someone downloads that one thing I uploaded and goes "Argh my eyes I must kill the person who made this" and then they don't know who this person with the noobish name of "N0B0DY" is.

[Anubis]

Alexander BG -> Anubis
It's been my name in the community for 2.5 years.

[Stijn]

n0 & Anubis: Done.

[Lark]

I'd like Labratkid changed to Lark, please.

My good reason(s) being that I made that user name up in sxith grade and it's kind of embarassing. :( And everybody knows me as Lark. And, I am adault man now! :-D I am 18 years old!

edit:
Really, I'd just like the name changed because everybody knows me as Lark.

[FQuist]

Done. (it was done already by an admin but not mentioned yet)

[Xobim]

Can you change Jazzmusic into Xobim? I find the name very noobish and silly, and I'd rather like to be known as Xobim in this community than as Jazzmusic...

[DoubleGJ]

I'd like to be changed from JSZ Jazz to DoubleGJ. One, it has a clan tag, two, nobody ever uses this name anymore, three, it just plain sucks. :D

[cooba]

Xobim and DoubleGJ: Done.

[Stijn]

:(<tag>

Why do you want it to be changed? "others have a similar name" sounds like a pretty good reason not to change it, and I see little other argumentation in your post.

[Grytolle]

My current name is "grytolle", and I want it changed to "Grytolle" - because it's been annoying me ever since I signed up

[FQuist says: I do not agree with this change. It would hinder your name recognition!!!!

...done. I have not made it count towards your name change quota because that'd be petty for a letter case change.]

[Pako]

Why do you want it to be changed? "others have a similar name" sounds like a pretty good reason not to change it, and I see little other argumentation in your post.

Wait, wrong text. I fixed it now.

EDIT- Sigh. Okaaay.

[Krinya]

I want to change from "Krinya" to "Krinya the King", but can I enter only "Krinya" as login name on the login page?

[cooba]

No.

[Strato]

Inf. Spaz -> Strato. Fairly simple reasoning.

[Leen]

I'd like to have my name changed to "Leen" I haven't been referred to as Scarecrow... forever :)

[Stijn]

Strato: Done.
Leen: "Leen" is already taken.

[Stijn]

Wait, wrong text. I fixed it now.
...I don't see any difference?

[DanYjel]

Danyjel > DanYjel, if it's possible. Been using the "new" nick everywhere, so please..

[NovaStar]

ShadowRabbit -> NovaStar

I don't feel like it'll be changing again, and I've had this nick for a fair while now.

[cooba]

NovaStar: done

[Valco]

Anyways, I'd like my J20 name to be changed from:

Gerard244

to:

Valco

as well. No-one will be able to identify me from my J20 name if I don't, so I believe it's necassery. And I'm the one who asked for this in the first place, on the original thread.

Why did you completely ignore this the first time I posted?

[Stijn]

No, gerard, I think most in the community knows you as "gerard324324" is and not as "Valco".

[master sven]

I think something went wrong with changing my name. When I log in with my pass at aswell the old as the new username, it says wrong password. When I try to get an password activation mail it says the username and email don't match.

[FQuist]

That your e-mails don't match is because you've entered three separate e-mail addresses into your profile merged into the same field, I think. Please send a help request or mail about correcting your e-mail address to the right one of the three. Your j2o nick is currently "master sven" (lower case), and there is no reason to believe this name is not functional.

[master sven]

Could you send a new password to: masterrokusho@msn.com ,then

[FQuist]

I have changed your e-mail address. You can now use the forgot password feature.

[master sven]

When I log in and comfirm everything then type in/copy my new password, it still says they don't match. When I Get my password by matching username, it says my username: master sven doesn't exist, when I look at the memberlist it is there though...:(

[FQuist]

Apparently you have two spaces in your username - something that the site recognizes but HTML doesn't show by design. So your username is "master &nbsp;sven". Also, you have to click on the confirmation link in your e-mail before logging in.

[master sven]

Yes, it were 2 spaces, thanks for finding out!

[FQuist]

Mind if I change it to one?

[master sven]

No, I don't mind :p

[FQuist]

Done. You should now log in with your name and one space. Apologies for the messup.

[Valco]

Trust me guys, the community's gotten used to calling me Valco. I always use this name on the forums and in-game. I'm starting to think that perhaps some people forget about my original identity when browsing the download section and finding one of my files. Not to mention my current name has incorrect capitalization by my standards, (gerard244) but that's not what's most important. Therefore, I continue to request that my J20 name is changed from:

gerard244 > Valco

[Pako]

These days, I don't think anybody knows me as "PakoMegaN00b", so... Could you guys change it to just Pako, please? Or, at least, PakoJCF. That would prevent the confusion from new people.

[cooba]

Change my name from PakoMegaN00b to Pako Spanrabbit, to differ me from other Pako-somethings, since I was widely known in the community with that name during a long time. Better now?We don't exactly have a lot of "other Pako-somethings".

[Valco]

Before you guys forget, I'd like to remind you guys that my request is still up.

[cooba]

How many more times do you want it denied, then?

[Valco]

What's it going to take to make you moderators change my name?

[FQuist]

Your request has already been answered. Any further replies you post to this thread will be deleted. Post again in a few months.

[Vegito]

My nickname has been "vegito" at j2o for a long time, could you change it to "Vegito"?
Same reason as on the JCF and as Grytolle, it's been annoying me for a long time too. Don't like no capitalized V :(

[Krinya]

I want to change my name to [HUN]Krinya, but only in the forum!

---Because I'm Hungarian, and, my english sucks, and, I don't want to write that sentence in my all post: "I'm Hungarian, so my English sucks! :)"

:-)

[Stijn]

Krinya, we don't allow clantags or similar additions to be added to names.

[Nala_LK]

Hello,

I would change my nick Nala_LK to �és because in jj2 i'm known as �és and no one knows me as Nala_LK

(The reason is the same than the member DarkSonic)

BTW if is possible, I want my new nickname in all things of jazz2online.

Thank you so muuch!

[cooba]

�és: done.

[Odin]

Hey, could I have my J2O name changed from RoW_Odin314 to just Odin, please?

[FQuist]

Rather unfortunately, there already is an Odin on J2O: <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/user/profile.php?userID=7819">odin</a>

[Stijn]

(The reason is the same than the member DarkSonic)

BTW if is possible, I want my new nickname in all things of jazz2online.

Thank you so muuch!

You have not been in the community for long enough to warrant such a name change.

[Odin]

Rather unfortunately, there already is an Odin on J2O: <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/user/profile.php?userID=7819">odin</a>

In that case, could I have Odin314?

[FQuist]

Done.

[Valco]

I asked a couple of months ago about a name change and you didn't think I was well known enoug has Valco for it. But requesting it again:

I'd like my name 'gerard244' to be changed to 'Valco'

[GoldRabbit]

andyjackrabbit>GoldBunny
I am known by that by everyone in the online and andyjackrabbit is a name that I picked randomly and no one knows me by that name.

[Stijn]

Valco: done

[DarkB]

Change my name to DarkB .....

[FawFul]

ok.. Can someone change my name "fawfulcc" to FawFuL?
the clantag annoys me on a site like j2o.. and i'd like to have the right caps also.
(which means the first 2 F characters and the last L : FawFuL)

<strike>it is really hard to understand D:</strike>

[CelL]

Wow, this is possible now? Cool stuff.

Well, obviously, I'd like my username changed from >CelL< to just CelL (as was done on the JCF as well, a long time ago). I asked cooba about this a while ago but it probably slipped his mind so I'll ask here just to be sure.

[cooba]

I asked cooba about this a while ago but it probably slipped his mindI tried to rename you and I got an error (literally, it was a box saying only "Error!") which I assume is related to the &gt; and &lt; entities.

[Stijn]

There is another account with "Cell" as nickname, though judging by the e-mail it's yours as well. We could rename that one to "Cell_old" if you want.

[sonicnathan 1]

Just a small change to my J2O name. Just please change the S in sonicnathan 1 to a capital. Just easier to remember.

[CelL]

There is another account with "Cell" as nickname, though judging by the e-mail it's yours as well. We could rename that one to "Cell_old" if you want.

Sure, go ahead.

[cooba]

We could rename that one to "Cell_old" if you want.Sure, go ahead.That hasn't fixed the error for me.

[Vegito]

My nickname has been "vegito" at j2o for a long time, could you change it to "Vegito"?
Same reason as on the JCF and as Grytolle, it's been annoying me for a long time too. Don't like no capitalized V :(

Please ;).

[DanZeal]

May I change my username both here on JCF and J2O to DanZeal.
My J2O name is for the moment Dzeal.
I am probably more known as DanZeal, and its a little confusing that I am using three usernames.

[Spotinik]

I'd like to change my name to Spotinik, if possible.

Thank you.

[FawFul]

i wonder why i didn't got a capital letter L

[Torkell]

Name change on J2O to "Torkell", please. Reason: generally moving to one name everywhere online.

[Hardtana]

Would appreciate having my real name, Iva, instead of Hardtana. :)

I'm generally trying to use my real name online most of the time and I think this is the only place where I still use the name Hardtana, which I passed on to my Facebook (fluff)friend two days ago. I hope this is a valid reason...hey, I changed the name on my own board, too.

[Raven aka StL]

"Raven", please.

[mortalspaz]

Mine would chenge from mortalspaz to?.... Can it be changed with capitalized M and S please?

[Stijn]

Sputnik, DanZeal: done

Rest: Capitalization is no valid reason for a name change, "Raven" isn't common enough (yet)

[Raven aka StL]

There's no problem with it whatsoever...

[HorvatM]

I would like to have my username changed to "HorvatM", without quotes obviously. The reason is because I have grown tired of this name and the new name is an abbreviation of my real name, and I use it on practically every other forum.

[Vulcan]

May i plz have my name be changed to cooldude31 plz?

[D.Saula]

Hey,
Ive been really inactive here for almost 3 years, but Im thinking about becoming more active again. However, the artist name is outdated. Im not sure whether its possible, but if it is, Id like it changed to Arctic Capture. Thanks

-K

[Newspaz]

Tragley, I cannot find any user by the name of Tragley on J2O.

D.Saula, I have no idea what the name of your original account is.

RedJazz, I changed your name to HorvatM as requested.

[cooba]

D.Saula is a spam account.

[Newspaz]

I guess someone passed the Turing test then ;)

[Dermo]

D.Saula is a spam account.

ROFL! His link is hilarious

http://tierussianwoman.w-ru.com/

[cooba]

I guess someone passed the Turing test then ;)I did ;)

[Vulcan]

can u change my name to cooldude31?

[Stijn]

can u read the first post?

[Vulcan]

not reallt bcuz it tells me NOTHING!


can i have it changed to Cooldude31?

[Stijn]

<ul><li>Valid reasons include:<ul><li>Removing clan tags</li><li>Removing fancy ASCII and capitalization (VèGÃ(-)Tø -> Vegito)</li><li>If your new nickname is the one you have been generally known as in the community, for a good while, and it is sufficiently different from your current nickname.</li><li>If your reason for wanting to have your name change is not included in here, you can still request a change, but of course you need to convince the admins that your request is valid.</li></ul></li></ul>
Remember my warning.

[Vulcan]

Cooldude to Cooldude31 plz.

[Stijn]

I already said no, then I provided reasons for why not with a reminder not to push your luck as I have warned you not to cross the line already. Additionally you are making a request in the WRONG (-)(-)(-)(-)ING THREAD. Just how badly <em>do</em> you want to get banned?

[Raven aka StL]

(Retry)

"Raven", please?

EDIT: I take it that if the last time a "Raven" made a post was in 2006 or earlier (or something along those lines), then it would be acceptable.
While other "proper reasons for denial" are loose excuses or mere rubbish.

EDIT2: "Raven a.k.a StL" works if there would be a problem with "username already taken". Anyone who is anyone in the community knows that "St. Louis" = "StL"

EDIT3: Don't tell me someone went and forgot the reason for the "formerly: [x]" in post headers.

EDIT4: I'll make a case on 'returning reasons for denial' being some sort of twisted discrimination towards me or otherwise totally pointless, as those reasons haven't stopped users in my current situation from getting their nicks changed in the past.

[Dermo]

You're in the wrong section, Emp

[Jgke]

Bump?

Would it be possible to migrate (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/user/10932/jgke/)these (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/user/6934/jake96/)three (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/user/5973/j96/) users to one and name the resulting thingy as Jake?

[Stijn]

No, sorry.

[Jgke]

:/
What for?

[Stijn]

We don't merge accounts.

[Jgke]

well, not then... If you still trust my word, you can delete those 2 first accounts. I understand if you don't ;)

[cooba]

We do not delete accounts.

[Dermo]

We look more popular than we really are.

[Toni]

* Valid reasons include:
o Removing clan tags (in this case, yes)
o Removing fancy ASCII and capitalization (VèGÃ(-)Tø -> Vegito) (not really)
o If your new nickname is the one you have been generally known as in the community, for a good while, and it is sufficiently different from your current nickname. (no)
o If your reason for wanting to have your name change is not included in here, you can still request a change, but of course you need to convince the admins that your request is valid.

Can I have name "Toni" because my nick is tropiCCo with 2 capital C (I was in CC, and left. Now I am in \NF/) and I wanna Toni now, please :).

*Removing clan tag* --> Toni

[EvilMike]

I would change it to Toni but the system is giving me an "Unspecified error".

[Grytolle]

I'd like you to change Fawful's nickname to Fofel

[spaceboy]

"spejsboi"

[cooba]

Success!
Nickname changed<!>

[Lithium]

Lithium??? OK NO PLS THX OK NO?

change it from Ron97 btw

[cooba]

"Lithium" is already taken.

[Lithium]

lithium Last visit: never

OH COME ON!

[KRSplat]

Call me Jordan instead of KRSplat (no formerly field.)

[Jgke]

Unfortunatively, you have to keep the 'formerly' field for one month.

[cooba]

There's no formerly field on J2O - are you sure you posted in the right thread?

[Jgke]

Ah, this was the J2O thread ;)

[KRSplat]

Oh, no - nevermind.

[Spare]

I hope I'm doing this right...

Can I have my name changed from "Spare" to "EggsBaconSausage"? (If that's too long then "EggsBaconHam") Because really, Spare? I don't know what I was thinking of back then! :( I know it doesn't look like a valid request, but I'd love to get rid of that name, it's actually a shame for me, and I was kind of a rush. Is it possible?

[cooba]

Done.

[Spare]

I still see my old name in the forum, but thanks for the site name change anyway. :|

[Jgke]

This is the J2O name change thread. The JCF one is over here. (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?p=468417)

[Spare]

LOL - Thanks.

[Mike_1990]

Hi, I would like to make this change:

Michal.Laszlo -> Mike_1990

Because it's actually my real name. I did it some time ago, because it was easy to remember, but now I really don't like the idea of everyone seeing my surname as I'd like to post some levels. So pls do me a favor, I know this reason isn't "valid" but I think it's reasonable.

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

My Internet name is now Blaze The Movie Fan, so if possible could you change my J2O name to Blaze The Movie Fan.

The account I'm using now the real one Bjarni.

[Stijn]

Done

[DennisKainz]

I would like to change my username from "Gus" to "DennisKainz" (my real name and surname).
I'm sick of Gus Goose by now.

[DennisKainz]

I probably shouldn't bump the topic, but ...

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!

And if you have the time, can you please also change my JCF username

[Violet CLM]

I changed your J2O username. The change doesn't automatically percolate to your uploads, though, which is a more manual and tedious process, so hold on for a while.

[DennisKainz]

Thank you!

[Louis K]

wogh180 → Louis K Please. XD(If it can't use te space, then please use the hyphen or underbar instead. for example, Louis-K or Louis_K)
(wogh180 is just my ID, not my real user name :()

[Louis K]

wogh180 → Louis K Please.
Is this request valided? or...unread?..
(Please tell the result to me! done or valid?)

[cooba]

Done.

[Louis K]

Very thanks!!
But actually..

I was guess this request is just for change the user's nickname.
For example, my personal blog ID,

ID:wogh180
name to shown when logged in:Louis K

But after this request,
former user name(for me, this is my ID):wogh180
new user name:Louis K

yes. I thought that if this request is accepted, only my user name will changed and the others are not.
but, that was wrong..
for here.. user name itself is ID! perfectly!(That is not I want to be! But sadly! I checked it after request!)

So.. now when I logging in, I always type Louis K instead wogh180.(for me, old one is much more easier to type rather than new one.)

But that's no problem. because this one is not discomfort :)
Anyway, Thanks to accept my request!

[Stijn]

Yes, unfortunately (for you) on Jazz2Online your display name is the same as your user name. In general it makes things easier though... less stuff to remember means less problems :)

[VashMM]

Ok, so I just made his account (old one vanished from the forums apparently) and this may be a valid reason...may not.

Can you change it so the capital letters show up the way I typed it initially? For some reason it reverted to all lowercase

It was supposed to read "VashMM"

[SAMI]

My current name in J2O is "Sami 1999".
But I've never used that in JJ2, JJ2.net, nor in JCF. I'm more known as "SAMI"

So, requesting to change my name from Sami 1999 to "SAMI". Just "SAMI".
Thanks.

[YRSHKD]

My current username: Narsist
The username that I want to: Kadebostany

Reason: Narsist means 'Narcissist' in Turkish, but I used to use this username in 2009 - 2010.
Since 2014, I usually prefer Kadebostany (the music band from Kadebostany Republic as they say, haha) and I want to use Kadebostany here too.

edit: uh :(

[Seren]

Hello. My current J2O username is Sir Ementaler. I would like it changed to Seren. I chose my current screen name about 8 years ago, a lot of things in my life have changed since then, and it does not reflect who I am very well anymore.

[archer]

It's not super important but my user name is: archer . I had some problems during registration and had to try multiple times for some reason and the last time that finally worked I forgot to put in a capital A, so if it could be changed to Archer that would be great.

[Ahmed Magdy]

Ok so please send me a link for it!

[dragusela768943]

Can you rename me to Dragusela?
because everyone in the community has known me in Dragusela for some time, and also because I also have a name that is a bit too complicated and so I would like to simplify it.

[Jo Li KMC]

Hiya. Would it be possible to change my name on the sites to "Jo Li KMC"?

I don't really have a proper reason beyond "'cause I want it". I just don't really go by that name, anymore. Worse still, anyone who might remember me from the 2000s, when I was really actually active here, would know me as "Joseph Collins" anyway… Still, thought I'd ask.

Thank you for your time.

[YRSHKD]

Halló aftur,
My former request kinda went unnoticed, so I'd like to make a new one.

My current username: Narsist
The username that I want to: YRSHKD

"Narsist" is a memory from the past, and a nickname doesn't define me at all. Currently I'm using YRSHKD moniker from web sites to my projects - everywhere possible. So I'd appreciate your help.

Thank you for your time.

[AK685]

Pls change from abdullah\hero\ into AK685
