 Can we request name changes for usernames?
Just wondering since I seen mods change their names but can regular folks like us get them too or is it too much of a hassle?

Why wouldn't we allow you to?
Don't even bring up the "regular folks" saying. We might be your superiors in power, but, eh, trust me - none of the mods would support bABA denying someone a name change considering his new name. It wouldn't be fair.

Thanks for answering the question, sir. I was very fearful that I may be banned for bringing up the question. My apologies sir if I said something offensive. I know us regular folks are rather rude. How may us low life people go about requesting a name change, Mr Salsbury?

Heh,
PM baba and ask nicely. I tend to frown upon name changes, but if you want one, and he OK's it then its fine by me.

Would you prefer someone just make a new Username and start from scratch? That's not sarcasm btw, it's a real question.
I've been thinking of either altering my current name or just making a new one, and wondering which path you see as preferable.

I don't mind name changing, but I don't really like it, either.

I don't think I'm alone in saying this: that was one of the funniest subtle jokes at KJ's so far in its existence.

I liked the token brown dude change. If you do go back to baba, please spice it up again some time in the future, it made me laugh.

I think name changing is fine if it doesn't become a habit. Think lond and hard about what name you want to be, and if you change your mind a couple months down the line, no biggie. If you hassle Token Brown Dude with a pm at the turn of every week wanting to change names, just think about how much extra work he has to do, and how confused everyone will get. But a change or two is perfectly fine. Not everyone can pick such divine and infinately interesting screen names as darth pimp, ahmed johnson, or mike ventrella... :wink:

name changes can be annoying for the whole forum if done on frequent basis .. thats why i went with token brown dude cause peopel would know that brown is me. Plus it says site admin so its easier to guess. Its certainly something i wont do every week or so .... prolly change back to baba in a bit and wont touch my username again till bday time ...

I agree that it should be done sparingly. What you could do is have like a once every 3 months rule, except in rare judgement-call cases.
Or some variation on that as you see fit.
I don't think it will ever become common. While I'm considering changing mine, I wouldn't keep rotating it or anything. Most of us like the idea of being recognizable.

You should keep your current one
