Hawk

Spaceman
Hey Can someone please tell me if theres a way that I can change my Name from Hawk to something else?
I dont want to make a new profile I did that once already and I want to get a rank sometime soon :)
If I need to make a new profile someone please tell me how to delete my old one. Thanks
 
If you ask the admins, they can do it (at least they can on UBBs, I'll assume they can do it on the vBoard as well).

I wonder what would happen to the posts that someone made if they had their account deleted (rank on posts changes to 'unregistered') and then someone signed up for that nick? Would they be attributed to the new owner of the nick?

Hmm... The old UBB worked via Usernames, not numbers IIRC (until version 5.something I think... Which is probably the one you upgraded to earlier this year)

Kris, how about only let a user change their username once every 6 months and only fufil say 10, 20 requests a month. Something like that.

Unless of course there's a way to let the user change their username themselves. Just seems a shame to have to force users to reregister if they want a different name ...

IIRC, the BLH's board still uses usernames, instead of numbers. It might have just been the demo board though, I can't remember. I can't decide what I like better. The UBB or the vboard. Both are pretty cool. Though, the vBoard has quicker load times.
 
Kris, you said that the baord keeps track of users by some sort of number. Is there no easy way to keep track of people like that? Probably not, else you'd be doing it ... oh well ... :)
 
I'm rather confused about what you just said... Why would Kris want to keep track of people?

TC
 
Well, Kris said that it's hard to keep track of jackasses as one of the reasons to not let people change usernames. If there was an easy way to keep track of them, then I figure that the Admin would allow name changes ...
 
OK, I'm still rather confused about what you mean, as its not hard to keep track of people, no matter what... but

a) It doesn't matter, Kris isn't going to change people's usernames

and

b) No, there's nothing wrong with killer robots from Venus.
