What is it about these forum boards that make forum name changing impossible?

The software and how it is configured.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

If you want to change your forum handle, contact one of the community reps, and they can do it for you.

I know Avatea was handling it in the past.
I'm not sure what the situation is currently, but they're a super friendly and helpful lot. It may take a few days before you hear back, but they likely have a mountain of PMs, so it is understandable.
Of course... sometimes you hear back right away, haha!

And... the monkeys in my brain are forcing me to type this: Are you wanting some kind of Variant of your forum handle?

Basically it isn't automated becuase they don't want people casually escaping their own reputations and the like under a name. That said if you do need it they will change it for you.

Although it isn't really hard to figure out who certain posters are.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Well, that and it changes your name for all your old posts as well, so a quick search and you'd still see the post history of the person.

I can't imagine anyone would think a simple forum name change would be enough to escape a reputation.
