No, you cannot have your name changed

TubeTube Registered User admin
Here is the name changing FAQ

Can I Get My Name Changed?

No! Not under any circumstances!

Aww, but why?

Because if I allow people to PM me for name changes, it is literally the only thing I have time to do. You should have chosen the name you wanted at registration. Think hard about it, because once you have the name it is not getting changed. I don't care if your name is Mr Clown and your parents get killed by a clown and every time you see your name you sick up in your mouth and start crying and you inhale the sick through your sobs and choke and spew blood up onto your monitor. You should have thought of that eventuality before you registered.

Oh well, I guess I'll just make a new account with the name I want...

Right, you can do that. But if you do, and we find out, both your accounts will be banned.

Aww man...

Yeah I know, but we're not clogging the servers with accounts just because you wanted to take the umlaut out of your name

What about the name change thread?

Oh yes. That. Periodically I will make a thread where people can petition for name changes. If you want a name change, I flip a coin. If it lands heads, you get your name change. If it lands tails, I choose you a new name. This name can be anything. It can be funny. It can be a pun. It can be monumentally insulting. If you don't like it you cannot have it changed back. The thread is not a joke! Don't be like the guy who got a name implying that he whines excessively who then whined excessively about it and was apparently completely unaware of the irony of this situation. Complaining will not get your name changed back, and implying that the coin toss is rigged will annoy me massively because I take vague pride in the fact that I don't cheat on it. Unlike your mother.

When are you doing the next name change thread?

An indeterminate length of time from now. There is no system for deciding when it'll happen, but it's normally when some interesting has happened in my day. The Whining Forum will come back up, everyone will whine a lot and then the name change thread will get made. It's normally up for around an hour and it's normally at an atrociously irritating time of day for all concerned. Repeatedly asking for the return of the whining forum and name change thread only makes me less enamoured with the whole concept.

Well I think I will ask one of the other admins for a name change!

Good luck with that. There aren't any. Alpha is the main site admin and has no role on the forums. Ramius is the forum code admin and, while being objectively one of the best people on earth, doesn't deal with forum problems that don't involve the software. Which sucks for you because he is the messy liberal to my fastidious conservative. If you send either of them PMs trying to get them to reverse something I've done the net result is that we will sit around and laugh about it together while making jokes about your personal hygiene.

So to clarify, what's to stop me PMing you anyway because I think I might be an exception to your-

You aren't. Don't PM me. I'll infract you and say something mean to you.

You know you come across as kind of a dick

Yeah Robert told me that too, I guess I'm working on it.

    You should have thought of that eventuality before you registered.

    How was I supposed to know this douchebag would register with the same exact name minus a hyphen as mine? D:

    Perhaps Tube is psychic and assumes everyone else is. Maybe he even comes from a long line of psychics and everyone he knows is psychic, making such an assumption all the more understandable.

    Getting a name change is easy, guys. Just wait until the Fitness thread hits 100 pages, and when Tube asks you to make a new one, ignore him for a couple of weeks.

    Bam, name change.
