Change user name

Is it possible to change your user name? Or can a moderator change it for me?

Re: Change user name

I would be interested in this too - Relentless was a name I thought would be cool for a robot 3 years ago, and uh... yeah.

Alas, I'm in the same boat as Relentless. :D

Re: Change user name

Dammit now I don't know what to change to! I suppose simply Ellis makes sense, but my alias everywhere save the robot community is Krustalien, so...

Hmm.

Re: Change user name

Possibly a joke that only my fellow Scotsmen will get, but should NewCo names not be stripped of their post history and titles? :lol:

Re: Change user name

Nah, post history and titles were transferred with the acquisition of the new username. 'k_c_r 2012' is to be liquidated - I had a wee run-in with the taxman :P

Re: Change user name

RogueTwoRobots may be the successor account having seceded from the U_K_C_R but it still needs to to reapply to FRA in order to participate in the common forum.

Send your application to FRA via Kane van Aston.

Re: Change user name

Will this see me relegated to the bottom tier of forum users, thus losing my hard-earned (aka I write too much) 'Elite Roboteer' status?!

Re: Change user name

I think the forum status ranking is all wrong anyway as it gives the impression to newcomers that an elite roboteer knows exactly what he is talking about, reality could be that its 1000's of useless posts thats been written.
where also gilbert grimm should be classed as elite for his experience but on the forum he has only written 2 posts :?

Or as in Mattsdragons case, asking the same question 1000 times. Or posting a sale thread then changing your mind.

I'm sorry Matt but you struck me as a good example.

Re: Change user name

I have made 2 robots (the first out of chopping board and wheelbarrow wheel inner tube) and apparently I am an advanced roboteer. :lol:

Quite flattering, really. I wonder what I'd be if I had the posts here that I do on the other forum I visit, on which I have 7,400 posts and joined this time in 2008. :o

To be fair, it has always related purely to the number of posts of a user (going back to the discus(?) forum days) and has no connection whatsoever to the quality and/or reliability of what's being posted. But I can see why it could be misleading to newcomers; I'm certainly don't consider myself elite when it comes to all things robot.
Elite babbler, I can do though :)

Re: Change user name

Toying with the idea of changing mine as it references a team name my 16 year old self was cool for ten minutes five years ago (as opposed to the current name, which my 17 year old self thought was cool for twenty minutes four years ago)
