Hey, I was just thinking that mabie it would be cool if say I no tht you cant change your username more then once, or if you have a premium memember ship every time you get a new one.
But I was just thinking that in a way wouldnt it be cool mabie like every 4 or haff a year you could have the option to change your username back to one of the previous ones you had before? Like say when your edditing your profile, but you can do this once every 6 months or so, before you get to the
<h6>About Me</h6>
Section, you had however menny old usernames you had, like in a bullit list, then you just check the one you want?

Idk, it was just a thoght, give me feedback, please...

Couldn't you just change it back when you are able to change it? I've seen people change back to their old names before.

What about the people who aren't premium?

I like that idea, 'specially because you'd only have the choice of your old username(s). And you wouldn't be able to do it like whenever you wanted - once every six months, or once every eight or something. I like the idea.

this would most likely be premium members only, and if you don't have a premium membership and want benifits of one? buy one.

Give me 25 bucks, and a paypal account, and sure I'll do it.

i don't see why you'd want to go back unless you didn't like the name you had, but then, just use a name change to go back.

i won't get into the arguments about premium memberships here. either you want to pay for one, or you don't, you can afford it, or you can't. Premium members need some benifits over non premium members, if they didn't have those, those who choose to financially support the site would no longer do so.

i like the idea. i was once a premium member and never really much used the features. i could afford it, but choose not too.

um, why would you want to go back to your old user name? i mean, you obviously changed it for a reason, right? now, if you changed it to "John's girl for ever" as in example, and you and John broke up, my thought is, that if your not premium and you ran out of name changes (same for if you were), that's your bad luck. you call yourself something, you either pay to get the next name change option, or stay that name. switching names back and forth would only confuse people mor than when you change it. i for one, kno that i changed my name cause i didn't want the old ones anymore. besides, what's the point of having the option if your only going to go back to one of your old user names anyway? so again, why go back?
