i guess it's easier just to register a new account.

Snake

Nah, it's harder for me. :p

One of the administrators will have a look at it, moving to Site Feedback.

Also, you might want to indicate what you want your new name to be...

Nope you need to register with the name you want :p

As soon as an admin sees this they will want to know your name as colin has indicated :)

Okay, I want it changed to Snake. I know it is taken but he got 0 posts and haven't visited the forums for about 2 years! He is no longer gonna be active so please let me have his name as I use it everywhere.

That's not possible, regardless of whether he has posted or not he may or may not be a licensed customer and that username belongs to him :)

Then why don't check if he's a customer or a person that uses vB illegaly? :nervous:

Actually I'm pretty sure the site admins CAN check to see if he's a licenced vBulletin user or not since we all had to validate our licences before posting here, IIRC.

But there *IS* a registered "Snake" at vbulletin.com - so you probably should give up on that username.

He just got his named changed over there ;)

Well even if the user is showing up as unlicensed, there is nothing to stop him from wanting to come back and perhaps renew his license one day. You should try emailing the user to see if he'll give you permission. Otherwise, I sincerely doubt you'll get it changed to that I'm afraid :)

Thanks! You're an awesome admin... a better one than I! Becuase I do not change usernames as a rule. Maybe I'll reconsider ^_^

I consider it as a service :)

Sorry for the newb question but I've never had to deal with this before and I am curious. Is the process for this simply to create a new user with the requested name and then merge users?

One can also just edit the user in the admincp.

I was wondering about this myself. My current name is tied to the domain serenarules.com, which I no longer have. May somebody change mine to Albus please? Assuming it's not taken. Thanks.

fcrisial, what exactly is "excellent"? You weren't specific. Was it in regards to something I said, or another?

TyleR
07 Apr 2005, 14:47
Snake's was taken too with basically the same instance as the twisted name ?..no posts and hasnt been here in about 2 years..:( only name im actually known by :(

Xenon
07 Apr 2005, 14:49
but the account Twisted belongs to a license, and Snake was taken by an unlicensed user.

that's the difference.

TyleR
07 Apr 2005, 14:51

looks like you're not able to fix your mind...
General guidelines:

3. Only if you really need to do it - don't waste our time by making us change your username once a week.

Please pm all name change requests to one of the admins.

I am closing this thread because it has served its purpose.
