Title: Name changes??
Atrophy Within - October 21, 2004 03:43 AM (GMT)
What the hell is going on? I leave for a week and come back to find new names all over? You guys confuse the HELL out of me very efficiently.
Just a request if possible, could you say "Formally *insert name*" in your sig so it's easy to distingush who you are? Just a thought. Not sure how many name changes have been made, but yeah.... With new sigs and such flying around, it's makes it even MORE difficult to place who is who. *nearly yelled at Forte because she didn't know it was him*
Is it a new feature or is an admin feeling generous?? hehe... Just curious. Here I am tired as heck and the names are confusing me like mad.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: *must sleep* Lycan

A few people asked me to change their names.. no problem with me, so I did it, it's something the admin CP could always do, no new feature, the gender thing is new though.
To note:
Flame Phoenix > Strike Wolf
Forte > Legato > Flake > Hetman(whole history or names)
Perrin > Callis(I like that better)
That's all I can remember right now.

Forte is on his 4th name.. tisk tisk.. You think he would find one he liked enough to stick with.. hehehe... So Duck is a new one then? Ah well, I'll figure it out.. later... hehe...
I knew Admin CPs had the ability to change names, I just saw 3 new names and thought someone made it so the member could change their own names. Could you imagine how many names Forte would have now if that was possible?? hehehe.. Ah well... I know I am sticking with my name. :D Lycan
König Warrior - October 21, 2004 03:56 AM (GMT)
Duck is a new member, yes.
Also.. I don't think it's possible to allow people to change their own names on Invision. I wouldn't allow it anyway, too confusing, and I know. I was once art of a board, Vbulletin I think, where you could change your display name freely, I became known for changing my name every week, but I kept one part of it the same to show who I was. Here on ZE, I just change my Avatar, lol.

yes, everytime I look away you have a new avatar.. hehehe... Oh well... I still like the old one with the model KW howling or whatever it was doing.. hehe. Lycan
König Warrior - October 21, 2004 04:03 AM (GMT)
I still have that, I just got tired of using it. I like updating the Avatar, shows what I'm into as of late.. actually, this time my banner shows that, I've been into Fire Phoenix lately. Credit for Banner and avatar to Blade though.
Atrophy Within - October 21, 2004 04:08 AM (GMT)
People have really been getting into the Fire Pheonix and Jet Falcon lately... I hate them both for some odd reason. Maybe cause I hate birds, but theya re still niffty looking. :lol:
Ah well... Now that I know no one lese has changed their names, there shouldn't be any confusion.. till I foget... haha. Lycan

*looks at list*
*feels forgotten*
oh crap, nvm, that list is only for recent ones...gah...
*feels stupid*
*slowly inches away*
König Warrior - October 21, 2004 04:11 AM (GMT)
Yeah, Fire Phoenix and Jet Falcon are the hot flyers.. It's funny, I like FP more than JF, but I like LZF more than LZP. I'm actually planning on designing an original custom zoid that is fully compatible with Fire Phoenix and matches, I'm thinking of a Tiger type zoid.. right now it's undecided.
Strike Wolf - October 21, 2004 11:57 AM (GMT)
What is wrong with switching names, or is there nothing wrong with that?
nevermind.
And should i put my last name in custom member title?

Hmmm? And do you have a problem with that? Times change, stuff change. Actually, I switched back to my original name before Forte, Legato or Flake.
Forte was a nickname given to me to an old friend, as a sense of reputation sort of thing for kicking his ass, but that was ages ago. Legato and Flake, they just sounded cool at the time and they still do.
I really gotta watch before I bite people's heads off. A sorta thing that I sometimes do. ^__^
Random crap: Beat that Callis! (Formerly know as Perrin and Wild Eagle)
Atrophy Within - October 21, 2004 02:35 PM (GMT)
Hmmm... I still like Legato the best. Though, I am used to calling you Forte. That must confuse the hell out of the newbs. *remembers when FuzNist used to say "hella" in every post* << random memories. :D :rolleyes:
Maybe I should change my name??? :blink: heck no... If I ever did though it would always have Lycan in it. Unless I found another names that sounded cool. :lol: :lol: :lol: Lycan

what's wrong with it is that it shows that you cant make up your mind and are a very undecisive person...:P
and that most forums wont EVER allow you to change your name...you pick one, and you keep it...
Capitila - October 22, 2004 07:20 AM (GMT)
"Indecisive." Yeah..
Proboards let you change your name I think, or it was probably just for mods.. Apposed to here, which only lets admins change names.
I'd consider changing my name, had this one for years though..

Was there a reason in bumping this? lol..
Seems I myself have had a name changed.. lol.. o.0
Drk-X - March 9, 2005 05:31 AM (GMT)
the reason is because you had yours changed. Now others will most likely want to change their names too...
HooHa_Man - March 9, 2005 12:57 PM (GMT)
*Raises hand* I've been wanting to chance my U.N. for a while, considering my new one is the one I use on all other forums.
My previous one...meh, I dunno where I got it from.
(Yes, my new one is anything but serious)
JammerLea - March 10, 2005 04:19 AM (GMT)
We were curious as to if there was anything said on how often a user could change their name. I do remember something being said once, but I cannot remember where. It's an issues of avoiding confusement over "Wait? Who were you?" type things. Which is what this topic originally addresses anyways.
I do not believe there are any official rules on name changing, so long as it's not often enough to annoy the admins, hmm... Though I do like the idea of putting something in your sig of who you used to be until people get used to the new name.
König Warrior - March 10, 2005 09:55 PM (GMT)
Indeed Jammer, and I am the name changer..I am the only active non-head admin of course.
Flying Shadow - March 11, 2005 04:09 PM (GMT)
*just found this topic and didn't know that Hetman was Forte >_<*
I'm changed my names numerous times also. First (the very first) was KonigLightningFang(long ._.) Then FS, then Elven Green Leaf, then Allie-Wolfen then back to FS, thinking bout changin it to Rainshadow, hmmmm.
The Zombie - March 12, 2005 10:09 AM (GMT)
Make sure you poke KW to change it if you want to do that. No name chenge otherwise.
Flying Shadow - March 12, 2005 05:47 PM (GMT)
Alright, I doubt I'll change it, it just wouldn't be the same.
Shadow Tigress - March 12, 2005 11:19 PM (GMT)
Let your name stay the way that it is now, FS. I like it personally.

Exactly. o_o
Flying Shadow - March 13, 2005 03:49 AM (GMT)
So do I ST, that's why I'm keeping it.
Wolven Zero - March 13, 2005 03:26 PM (GMT)
I stuck (aka Steel) in my signature, so you lot know who I am/were... ;)
Flying Shadow - March 13, 2005 05:29 PM (GMT)
Yo Steel, love the new name -_^.
Wolven Zero - March 13, 2005 07:34 PM (GMT)
JammerLea - March 14, 2005 06:41 AM (GMT)
Haha! I saw "Wolfen Zero" in another topic and was like, "HUH?" for a moment. But then I realised it was Steel. XD Nice name.
Oh, I'm willing to change names too, it's just I'm not around every day. T_T
Atrophy Within - March 15, 2005 09:18 AM (GMT)
I just looked, there are now 3 active members with Fox in their names... Thats just creepy... hehe... Silly Fox reminded me to change mine since Suicide_Fox is my name every place else... Even on battle.net. lol
