Title: I would like a name change.
Post by: infested999 on June 12, 2013, 08:53:33 AM
When I first registered in 2011 I didn't take my account name very seriously.

Now that I do business on this forum I would like people to take me more professionally.

Therefore, I would like to change my username to "xxxthats4xes".

Only if you want to change your username whenever you want by yourself.

You can change the custom title as a VIP, but not your username unless I'm missing something.

Probably ask the admin or moderator if there's a way. Or create a new account if you really don't want this name, but you will lose all your previous credibility.

VIP donators (50 BTC) can, donators can't

Is anyone going to change my name? I can't open a business with this name.

But "xxxthats4xes" is a good name to open a business with?

You need to PM theymos if you want to have your name changed.

You can change your display name in your account settings. You can't change the username that you use to login with.

For me it's not an editable box

Only Donators/VIPs can change it themselves. Other people need to PM me.

Talk about an obvious way to announce to the forum you just bought someone else's account...  ;)

Not at all, maybe you might notice my IP change because I just moved to Europe. But how would you like to make intelligent posts and then have posts with your name infested999?

I will also accept the name "DeCiB3l" as that's what I use on IRC.

If you want to sound 'professional' I suggest to just use your real name & surname, e.g. John Doe.

One time I told someone my email is DA_PENTAGON@gmail.com and then he sent an email, but I don't actually own that email, someone else does. Now I wanted to get the email that he sent me so I had to email the pentagon  :(

LOL.

You wrote on that reddit topic:

[–]DeCiB3l 1 point 9 hours ago
The forum is basically everyone trying to trick other people into buying something and everyone else trying to trick people into selling.
"BUY BUY BUY" "SELL SELL SELL GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN"

But didn't you say you wanted to change your name on this forum to conduct business on here? Oh, the irony!!

Good christ. I'm internet famous. I can see it before me now. Youtube stardom, Reddit AMAs, 18 years old blond haired big buxomed Swedish cheerleaders feeding me plums and champagne.

I'll need a better Internet name though. How about John Doe?
