I have noticed that people have 1 username one day, and another some other day. I am mainly talking about xkeeper. He was called xkeeper, and then the next day his name was Navada, and then back to Xkeeper. I know 100% that it was the same person. He is NAN rank, do they get special features that the normal ranks don't get? Thanks

Yeah, that's pretty bizarre. How do you get a negative number of posts anyway?

Only an admin can change your name for you.
And Xkeeper has negative numbers because he wants it, and because an admin changed his post count.

And he's had that neg number for almost forever and a day.

And as for his name, well, lets just say stay away from me when I'm highly hyper and in a playful mood.

Would that have anything to do with the 'Owned by Anya' name he has adopted?

If people ask the admins for a name change, and if it isn't a stupid one, they usually get it.

Or the admins take matters into their own hands.

On that note, I wouldn't mind my nick being just Kyouji Craw. The "Kagami" part is just pointless, y'know?

I'm fine with my own name. It's easy to remember, and it's simple. Of course, the name itself is really pointless...

I'm pretty sure the mods have the ability to change member's current usernames (I changed from "Epyon" to "Seph2k2" back at the old Acmlm's Board). However, making duplicate names is, as you should now know, forbidden.

Happens sometimes that some of the admins change my name, thought usually just for fun. And for joking with me.

It's kind of stupid having people change their names anyway. If they're just going to change their name, than why register with a name that you don't like?

That's a silly way of thinking about it. Who says you don't like it when you register? I liked Kyouji "Kagami" Craw just fine when I registered it, and Blisseh on the old board, but after awhile I just didn't want it anymore.

They can get sick of their name. After awhile, it could get kind of old...

Also, there's always fads and such that people get into...

If a name is really unique, then you probably won't get bored of it. I'll never change Edsgravy0 (Unless an admin pulls a fast one on me and changes it )

Ooh, a thread about yrs. truly's odd NAN-ness/name fun.

I've had the negative count for a loooong time. Shortly after hitting 2k [or was it before?] on the old board I went back to a positive one. Seeing as how I got my negitave shortly after joining the old one... well, hey, let's do it again on the new one, right? So I did.

Oh, and this isn't my real count. When I posted this, it wasn't fixed--- it's still 265 below what it should be. I'll go PM an admin or something.

Oh, yeah. Moderators can't do it. Only Admins can. And yes, the name change was purely to mock Melv's layout and the Nevada Girl fan shit [stupid sutupid stupid] that's been going on as of late. My layout was of Nevada, the state, where I live

I think that covers what I should edit in...

I only change my username if I was dumb enough to put in an underscore in place of a space because I didn't think the forums would allow spaces in usernames.

Actually, someone who shall remain nameless asked for a name change - basically going from a normal name to a name with random numbers added to it.

Why did I even grant that request?
