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'd imagine it was a case of "Since you're the boss of a place my son spends a lot of time on this internet thingy, you can cancel this other internet doohicky where he wastes time. Also fix my email."

    An admin/mod stories thread would be fun.

    In a way, this is why the "Who got banned and why" thread was so hilarious before it sort of stopped being updated.

    One of my longtime favorites was a ban by Orikae saying "There is a time and a place to post pictures of women launching produce out of their bodily cavities like mortars with breasts...oh wait, there isn't."

    At the risk of going off-topic, I got a big kick out of that thread too. Plus it was reasonably informative.

    Anyway, given the fact that the board is technically unstable enough as it is (not to mention search is still disabled, and the admins are working plenty hard to keep things going already), I'm guessing we probably won't get more name changes until the board gets switched to a new system.

    I'm hoping this isn't the case because the woman sounded utterly stupid. Usually stupid people have the most ridiculous reasoning.

    Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME :(" moment. I wasn't ready. My code wasn't compiled yet. Our plans weren't setup yet!Sentient programs rarely run into other sentient programs.
    Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

    Forgive my presumption, and I would be shocked if this had not already been mentioned, but why not charge for a name change like Xbox does? Perhaps during the Child's Play drive, give $20, get a name change. That'd get rid of the people who just want to change their name from "AwesomeMcCool" to "AwesomeMcCoolGuy" and raise money for kids.

    Although if a name change buggers the database, that'd still cause problems...

    Mike and Jerry are rad dudes, so I assume they'd help out if throwing money at the forum would fix it.

    I'm sure alpha would like...

    edit: Missed the charity part. But I'll leave it here since I can't delete it, and some people do suggest throwing money at the problem.

    Bloody hell, just 3 pages ago. I feel silly, but slightly better in that he didn't mention Child's play as a recipient of the payment. Still mainly silly though.

    one of the auction items in this year's Solid Saints auction for Child's Play was a name change

    in case you hadn't noticed, a name was changed

    it cost so many dollars

    “Hic non defectus est, sed cattus minxit desuper nocte quadam. Confundatur pessimus cattus qui minxit super librum istum in nocte Daventrie, et consimiliter omnes alii propter illum. Et cavendum valde ne permittantur libri aperti per noctem ubi cattie venire possunt.”

    but the other one... $3,045 if the spreadsheet i found is accurate
