Changing your User Name

Category: Zone BBS Suggestions and Feedback

One of my suggestions for this site would be to be able to change your user name whenever you want. It just isn't good enough just to be able to do that every 30 days. It would better because not everyone on the zone likes their user name, so they could change it whenever they want.

That would get too confusing too quickly. You wouldn't know who you were talking to half the time, you'd have to keep checking people's profiles for previous usernames, because I know some people would over-use a feature like that. Besides, it would take away an insentive for people to go premium. I'm well against this idea.

i agree with Steve; its not like the site just kind of hands someone a random username. you get to pick it, and you get one username change when you join, so i would think you could be able to make it something you like. that's just me though. lol unless you're talking about being able to use your username changes whenever you want instead of having to wait 30 days. i still agree with steve though, that would get confusing.

agree with the other posts, every 30 days is good...

Agree with everyone else, every 30 days is good for me.

I didn't realize it was every 30 days now, but that's great! I certainly don't agree with the first poster. I personally don't even like the idea of one being able to change their name at all; too confusing.

i agree with everyone else too. if you change your user name, too bad. lol. and i thought it was every thirty days if you were premium? and standard users only get two user names changes? i'm confused, lol

the way I understand it is you get one as standard and one every time you renew a premium membership.

that's right, ash.

also for example, say if you had your 1 standard change, and you got premium you can use the first change, and then the other one in 30 days

Oi, you premiums! Why can't standard members get to change their name once a year, or once every six months. Then the once a month for premiums would be more fair.

it's good the way it is, premiums don't just buy premium for nothing, you know

I was thinking about that idea over the past few days, and I came to the conclusion that it would be confusing; however, there are people who don't like their user names, so I believe that it would be reasonable to be able to change it whenever you want, with a limit of 5 changes instead of two. Standard members should be no exception.

Why change it to begin with. People don't have to wonder who they are talking to with me. lol.
Sometimes i get mesages "Hi! Remember me?" Um, no... who are you. lol.
