Say I used up my one username change but wanted to change it again without being premium. Is it possible to close/delete this account, wait a little while, and re-register with the same email address but different username? Thanks in advance! Katelyn

the only way to have your account closed is if you're banned, in which case, of course you cannot register again, period. the only way to change your username if you have no username changes left is to buy a premium membership.

This came up in public quicknotes, and the answer is always going to be the same. Each person is allowed to have one account. Accounts are not deleted, even if an account is disabled, it still exists, so you'll always have this acount. Sorry.

I'm afraid you're either going to have to pay for a premium or ask a good friend to buy a premium membership for you. And even when you do change your user name, your profile and account are still the same. In fact, every user name you've ever had will show up in your profile, so be careful with name changes. I agree with the staff for not letting people delete their accounts and then sign up again under a new name. That would be awfully confusing, and wouldn't you get tired of explaining to everyone who you are over and over again?

You can get username changes in some raffels.

yeah. that is a recent update where you can win an extra username change. also, I think all standard members get one username change just for signing up.

I believe that for each year of being a member, standard, you get an aditional username change.

No, not for standard members, just each year of premium.

Well now she can buy one for 6.67. A small price.
