It would certainly make ++ing and --ing easier.

Remove the former username plx.

Could I lose the formerly field please?

Hey I Would like the first and 7th letter in my name bigger technopauluz into --> TechnoPauluz

That would be lot of better

Hunter: I don't see why.

The rest: Done.

No, a good reason would be that you are generally known by a totally different nickname, or that there's fancy characters/capitalization you want removed, or that your current nickname would otherwise create confusion.

We've been more lenient in the past, but we felt it got a bit out of hand with all the username changing, so it isn't as easy as it used to be

Heck, avatar changes confuse me more than usernamename changes. Consider restricting!

That, I'm afraid, is not our problem. It might be in your best interest to change your nickname, but it is at least slightly confusing for all other users.

It appears lots of people have changed their nicknames with no reasoning at all

Before we changed policies, yes.

but you've decided to change that for no apparent reason (Users are allowed to change their names on 5 mounts period or so, I don't think it costs you much effort to do this, does it.)

It's easy to do, but leads to confusion. Read the first post. As said, we changed the policy because names were changed so often (and sometimes frivolously, like "Tha Bling Bling Rabbit") that it became annoying.

My answer was final. Changing your username is a privilege, not a right.

Tnx for the name change

If anyone could be bothered, please fix the second C (CrimiClown) and remove the ™. I can't find the ™ mark in Linux. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Yes thank you.

Considering that the only name changes allowed now are typo corrections and similar edits, would it be okay if I gradually changed my name from Odin to Marty Chang, one letter at a time, over the course of 50 months?

Can I be renamed to DarkB? plz

May I change my username to DanZeal.
I am probably more known as that.
Seeing that i got my username on j2o changed.

I have no idea what the heck's up with this thread now, but...

Please rename me to "Raven" whenever you can. I am more known as that than as St. Louis these days anyway.

I highly doubt that
your change will
be permitted.

I'm not sure if the same rules apply with JCF name change requests, however.

You're best known as Emperor, then Wallace, then St. Louis.

In fact, "StL a.k.a Raven" would be nice (and 100% problem-free to boot).

@Gry: Not quite. Hardly anyone knows who "Wallace" is and people are more used to "emp" than that other bs. Just forget it.

Do you (always) play JJ2 as Raven? Otherwise, I do not see it as a necessity to shorten your known username (st. Louis) for an unknown one (StL) just to add another name, which I'm not sure would be OK.

These days and from here on, yes, I use the name "Raven".
I wouldn't bother with it without reason.

Also, since there apparently is a user with that name, "StL a.k.a Raven" would be good.

These days? If that's just very recent, I suggest you ask back in a while. Right now you are known under "St. Louis".

Just so you know, I wouldn't ask for a change like that on a whim. I'm not that stupid. I have a solid reason for asking for something like this.

Also, a while back there was a "Tha Bling Bling Rabbit" name change... I really wonder if that's even 30% as appropriate a change as mine is. No one ever knew jack about a name like that.

EDIT: Furthermore, this forum is directly linked to the huge part of the community that (actively) plays the game online, and since I've used that name online for some time, and will for ages... It's not like people won't know who I am or anything of that sort.

And if that "Raven" guy who more than likely has gone totally inactive ages ago presents a problem. Then my name could just be "StL a.k.a Raven" to erase even that sand-grain of a setback.

Stl a.k.a. Raven removes your currently known username from the equation (StL? Seriously?) so it does not remove the setbacks.

I've asked you to define "recently" and "some time". Instead of going on rants, why don't you just do so? This name changing process should just take one post, but you're drawing it out real long. Longer and I'll just not bother.

Arguments don't help here, just abiding by the rules. (one thing, Tha Bling Bling Rabbit was BEFORE the new rules). So just do so.

To be fair, "StL" is just as well known an abbreviation as "gry" (though I use "emp" a lot more)

It's not like a post lacks good points the moment it can be considered a rant.

I've used that name for over a week now... everyone who is anyone knows it's me.
I will use it for ages (as in 2 years at the very least unless something insane happens)
I am well known by the "StL" abreviation as I also use that on msn (and have used for several months).

A week? I suggest you ask again in a few months then. I believe your and Gry's point of "StL" being okay and will keep that in mind in the future. (note: discussion about this will not work. The point has been decided. Next time please just be open from the start so that we don't need a long back- and forth)

Hunter: you haven't been using Hunter online for a while. Have you been using Ivo, though?

*insert a 200% reasonable 5-page long protest here* and with that, I'll wait a couple of months, not that there's a solid reason why I should have to.

Is there anyone else who requests at the very minute it becomes midnight on the day you can have your name changed? XD

Anyhow... If my math is correct, four months from Feb. 18 is Jun. 18, so...

Requested Name Change: Suika Ibuki

And, if taken...

Backup Requested Name Change: Suika.

with the period

Ah okay, now this is the right place to change my forum name. What an idiot am I. Anyway, I would like to get my forum name changed to Treylina, because well I no longer use the name Tragley (people would keep mistaking me for a guy you see) and Treylina is also the name I now use on JJ2 the game itself. =)

im kind of a newbie that this but i am having a problem with my gamertag. xbox name and 2k sports login is same name... chris31sh


any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm making an exception for Tragley and SaRids due to their low activity so far. Names changed.
