User name change?

**Origin** · 02-18-2009

Is there a way to change your user name here on the forums?

Username Changes No More!

You're only allowed small changes now:

From now on only minor changes will be accepted (capitalisation, shortening/lengthening by a few characters, etc.)

If you asked earlier, yes. However, there has finally come in a rule which is shown above.

Name changes should have been stopped ages ago.

It did get immensely confusing with all the name changes. Glad they stopped.

Speaking of name changes I am still unsure who a lot of people are now. Had friends on here for 2 years and haven't seen them online in ages. SO maybe they are here but just a different name perhaps?

Very glad the rule was brought down.

Origin is a cool name. It will stand out if you do.

I'm also glad all the name change crap has stopped. It was freaking annoying.

Too many people abused that privilege; getting 3 unnecessary changes a month. I think that the purpose of having a Username is to have something that you will be satisfied with.
