Depends, there is a special set of rules...guidelines that you will need to follow.

I think Murry could tell you how, but I'm speculating.

Okay, so I've got a definitive Yes, a guy who wants to follow this thread, one that says that I don't post enough - especially after 14 years - and one guy says that there's a fella that can help me, maybe.

Oh and two downvotes, because someone actually has the time to read the Help Board, and attempt comedy there?

This site...

It’s possible to get your username changed. You cannot do it yourself.

Odds are that yours won’t.

Good day sir.

Captainswafer,

Thank you. That was more helpful than the rest.

So it seems that one can request a username change, and that this is the forum to do so. And then maybe, someone "working" on the Help Board will make a decision, or reply, or something of that nature. And yet, we are not allowed to change our usernames, and there must be a good reason - like actually knowing who Sertorius "is" based on his aggregate of posts.

Then again, 14 years is a long time to have the same name.

Thanks.

Not really. I know a guy that turned 95 last month. Has had the same name his entire life. Not that he remembers it anymore.

He is a legend on the OT. His name was brought up a few years ago, something about a hog ring.

It’s not going to happen but what new name would you like?

I’ll bring it up in the next Admin meeting.

TigerFred,


Wow. Thanks for the offer. I know there must be a good reason for keeping names. That's fine.

Thanks for the reply! No worries if not accepted.

You should change the last guy’s name for him because he has been so nice about it.

If you are able to change two - please change mine to GringoGru

Mr. Fred, I'd like my name changed to "dyslexic" if we are putting in request.

Why would you change something like that?

Wolfhound,

I know, right? Sertorius was super cool. I just have wanted to move away from vague classical references.

Pretty cool that he left the Roman military and then defeated them. Then again, apparently he had a white fawn that he kept as a pet and thought that it spoke to him.

At any rate, they tell me the change won't make. And SEClint is ashamed for me.

Interesting thread.
