Username dilemma
I'm just wondering if the fact that usernames are lost once changed is perhaps a little harsh, it seems that the more mature members, aka those who haven't taken advantage and changed maniacally, are the ones really losing out. I mean, it's a nice option, to be able to change your username and all, but to not be able to go back to your original choice seems unfair. It is, after all, the name everyone has come to know you by. Say I changed to Levi (which is the name I would have liked to use for a while) then I could never go back to Syren. Everyone knows me as Syren Is there anything that can be done?
It doesn't seem so theres been some people whove requested i go back to Moo Cow because thats what I was when they joined, and thats what they know me as. but I havent been able to becasue i dont want to lose Nazgulinthedark.

Duh, because it's me
Nah, seriously, I thought it was nice to hage the option y'know? I have my days when I just don't feel like a 'Syren'. Mostly, it suits me just fine, but then I get my Lady von Tramp moments.....
A4E > cause it's tricky for people to keep track of it ... and makes it easy for you if you're "accused" of socking... change your name ten times and not a single mod can remember who you are

I have an idea,
What if there was like a little form to fill out,
and based on you post count and number of times you've done it recently and why you want to change your name, and you could select how long you wanted to change your name. Then if your application is approved it gets changed but only for the length of time you specifyed. Then in your profile or maybe in another area like under location it could say your old name.
That would solve the many many name ones. so you could only change your name, once every 3 months or something...
But for permanent name changes you'd have to PM Raz or something.
At first I thought I wanted to change my name into something that hasnt got bitchiness in it, but then i released, this was my username from the begining, is how people got to know me, so no point in chaning it.
Besides, when i joined the board, i never planned to be a mod, if i have i would have picked more approporate name.
