Default Why does name change take so long?
Some people on here have been begging for months to get it changed.. and I personally don't want to change mine, but why are they being ignored?
:S

You should choose a name and stick with it instead of ****ing everyone around

What about if you're like 13 and have it as "SeXiiBabbbe" and then when you're like 15 you're REALLY embarresed by it and want to change it?

Maybe it depends on whether you requested it in the name change thread or within your user cp?

Names changes aren't bad if they're changed a lot but kept similar or not changed very often(i.e once or twice) and are different.

Only James, Kaz and I are able to change usernames by the way, not moderators... so if you're angry, be angry to me!

Maybe it would be good to have the facility to change it yourself like they have on other forums? Just an idea.

I guess it depends how different you want it to be? Obviously if it's very different it'll be unfamiliar for other members who haven't been on in a while.

Lol you're all a bit harsh.

Have they tried signing out and then signing back in with the new name? That's what I had to do when I changed mine..

That defeats the problem of people changing it all the time, and maybe to things that defeat the language filter. It would be hard to keep up with all the name changes.

Also if someone requests a name change, then U2U's me 10minutes later and then starts msg'ing on MSN to why it's not been changed, I'm more inclined to do it at a later time.

We are only human
