Topic: How do I change my name?

Posted under Off Topic

i would love to Change my name to Kenya. Boca wasn't the first nickname I came up with when I first started being a furry. I was called that at work then I stuck by it, they took from a movie called "mr. 3000" and couldn't remember my real name from there on. I would love to change my name.

.. It's right there in 'My Account'.

AFAICS it generates a 'ticket', which it's up to admins to process, so there is probably some delay before the change is completed.

The name "GameManiac" wasn't taken when I selected it. And when the time comes for me to draw art and upload it here, I may change it to "GameManiac7509", since I had to make those names on both Deviantart and Furaffinity.

I'm still 50-50 on that, since I still go by "GameManiac" on fanfiction.net.

Quick question: Do admins have to power to change other users username? (not that they should...)

Now why would we do something like that. :V

yea, not as mods enjoy changing colors for no reason what so ever.

Now I have a reason to change my name into something cool :)

Well of course! They will need to approve those username change tickets someday!

I meant without a ticket... and that is why I became purplish_vulture for a few hours just for someone to prove a point... :P

GREAT! If any mod would get annoyed by some user who reeeaaally wants to be a mod, he could scare him off by telling that they need to make a daily name change to some hundred users.
Bad thing: it might actually be true.

We get around 5-10 per day. Every now and then there's a few from the same user who can't seem to make up their mind and you have to make a judgement call on what they intended, but most are simple as hitting "approve". This is probably the only time I've ever done one manually.

Now, if we really wanted to scare them off we can just mention the ~600-800 posts in the mod queue that we have to go through every day. :P

AFAICS = As far as I can see.
AFAIC = As far as I'm concerned.

In your header options (Posts Comments Notes Artists Tags Pools Sets Blips Wiki Chat Forum Contact ») just click the double arrow (»).

It's in the USERS section. The 11th one from the top to be more precise (Request Username Change)
