I think it'd be a cool idea to be able to transfer username changes. Say you're perfectly happy with your name, and you just got premium access and a new change. Why not allow a friend to use that change when they have a name they're not happy with?
i so love this idea
brilliant idea, i can think of a few users who would all ready use that
Good idea Garret, I support.
like me dan? lol
i suggested such a thing to do with premium memberships etc. so this is really just going over old ground already covered in another board. but yes like the idea.
Count me in as a supporter of this. I know some one who would use it too.
like you lorrie, and sharpay
I love this idea!and I could so use a new name change.LOL totaly support this.:D
lol I don't know. I like the thought of making up my own user name. I guess it's just something about taking someone else's idea that doesn't appeal to me. I strive to be creative. haha
michelle, i think they mean just the name change you get. you will still make up your own name. ehhehe i may be wrong though.
yeah, i think that was what Garret was getting at. you'd still have your own name, but if you didn't have any changes left, a friend could give you one of theirs if they don't need it or want it. i think this is a good idea as well, so count me in.
yes, i think they are talking about the oppertunity to change a user name rather than taking someone else's user name.
yeah. why would you want someone's worn out name? I'm pretty sure nada-single one of you wants to be known as yankee, right? lol. Seriously though, Shea, Liz, animal fucker, you guys are right"
lol Garret, i knew i was right, and i wouldn't want to be known as yankee. you can have that one, cause, well, it's yours and it fits you. lol, and, i kno i'm probablly gonna regret this but, who's animal fucker?
Well, I'll be the dissenting voice in the crowd then. I don't believe this to be a good idea. All it will do is encourage people to pick even more stupid and irritating usernames than they already do. So we'll end up with loads of people with long strings of numbers and characters in their names, or even worse, oh look who I'm cybering with this month! After all they know full well that after 30 days, they'll just be able to change it again if they beg enough people. Plus there's the added annoyance that you'll have to keep on checking profiles just to keep up with who somebody is. It's bad enough as it is without adding to the lunacy.
So I here by propose an alternative idea, Choose a decent username to start with, and stick with it!
Dan.
agreed dan. this bear isn't going away *smile*
Oh haha! I thought you guys meant other people's user names. haha Shows what I get for reading through this too fast. lol I will have to disagree with this one though. Can you imagine the confusion all these changes will cause? But on the other hand, people buy their premium memberships and I suppose they should be able to do what they want with the features they get. So I do see the point of having this feature. Anyone want to give me their 2 minute audio profile time? haha
The problem I see here is for standard members especially. Someone could create a new shill account just to gain a username change and then transfer it to someone else. Think it'd have to be premium only if at all.
I'd agree with premium only on the transfers, but you could transfer to a standard member if you like.
wouldn't be bad to be able to spend points on name changes too. i think someone already posted a suggestion like this somewhere.
I disagree with that one because that could make way too many changes available. With the suggestion I wrote, it's using the already available pool of changes, without creating new ones.
i don't think that it should be a points thing either. i like the arridginal idea better.
thanks liz, I really like this idea a lot, and so I'm bringing it to the front again
it's a good idea, and should be seriously thought about.
i really really like the idea, and so here it goes back on top of the first page
I was going to poast a topic on this but someone already did, I like the idea!
Nope just stick to the original idea because if you were able to buy usernames with the points, people would be buying them relentlessly changing their names day after day. Now THAT would get very confusing.
This to I agree should be strickly for premium if it does indeed happen.
