Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
No, you cannot have your name changed

I did read the OP before asking. I just reread it and still didn't see the answer to my question. If it is there, I apologize for an unnecessary post. And this one, but I just wanted to clarify that I did read Tubes fabulous OP.

I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
That doesn't say the thread will be created in the Whining Forum. It just says that people whine in that forum and then Tube makes the name change thread. So you may want to read before you post. See my sig for details.
This will be the last time I post about this as this thread draws too much Tube to be arguing about this.

Here's a translation for you. When the Whining Forum becomes active, all the other forums here disappear for a time. at some point during that time, the name change thread will appear for about hour, or for as long as tube can stand it. some folk get the names they want, and others get to be laughed at/get an unexpectedly better name than they wanted.
soon afterward the Whining Forum goes away, and everything goes back to business as usual.
Or am I thinking of the Christmas forum? fuck, I'm tired and can't remember now. hopefully I got it about right. it's been what, 2 years?

Sometimes with one, single, gigantic thread.
Apparently the Merge function needs to be used responsibly.
It's true. I even offered him real life money to have my name changed and he wouldn't budge! D:

I'd be willing to wager a forum ban, forced avatar, and/or soul.

You'd think you'd have learned your lesson after the first time.
EDIT: Looks like a couple folks who I thought had cool names wanted their names changed. What's up with that, formerly cool-named folks?
tsk tsk

So now, I have a thread full of my comics with my retarded real name. I'm an idiot.
I've never understood why some forums make you use separate names. It seems so unnecessary.

Because many login systems don't support the 'space' special character, and often aren't case sensitive on the username (despite being case sensitive on the password.) Also, it's sometimes considered a security issue to have your display name to be your username (or at least it was within the last decade) because then people would already know half of your login info.
I'm really old school internet, so when I see a login that can be "The Best of the Best," my mind is blown.
Not old school enough to capitalize 'Internet',
I still get twitch when I name files more than 8 letters and/or use spaces. Medics are required when I get a file from someone with a name like 'August.Sales.08.doc'.

Cap'n Mango just became "mangoes (a bunch of other words here)", so it is actually only one case.
So it would be completely out of the question to either have more admins, thus lightening the workload, or have an automated way to change names, thus lightening the workload?
I believe name changes also fuck with the server something rotten. This may have changed since I last paid attention, of course. As with most things.
