Change of NSC username: now £1 (all proceeds to REMF)

[Bozza]

I seem to have to change usernames for people a few times a week. I've never been very keen on doing it since it changes all existing posts to that new username and I think it kinda ruins part of the community aspect a bit with seemingly 'new' users with hundreds or thousands of posts appearing out of nowhere.

It's also a slight pain in the arse to do.

So, from now on, I will charge £1 for a username change with all proceeds going to the REMF - I'll accrue the money and pay once a year or something, and keep a tally somewhere or other on the board.

If you do want your NSC username changed - please make a Paypal payment such that £1 (after any charges) reaches me at:

bozza@northstandchat.com

Please include details of your existing username and what you wish to change to.

£1?! I would've made it a Fiver myself, but good thinking Boz.

Credit Crunch hits NSC

I'm happy with my ,even though I forget what my username is most of the time

Seems reasonable enough, I know another forum that you need to sub as a member for at least a month (£4) to get it done. Not a bad idea at all.

Should be at least a fiver, plus a sub forum showing before and after names and a detailed explanation of why the need to change

Exactamondo - total bunch of arse this name changing caper.

Didn't name changer's used to have a weeks worth of notification by their avatar?
Should be a more like a months worth of all text being automatically red and blue or something - Anything to mark them out as antisocial Lepers.. bah..

Agree with most above, if it's going to be allowed, then make it £5+

But, good idea!

If I come back from holiday with a sun tan I might have to change mine temporarily until it goes again

Edit: OI! where's the pretty pictures gone ?

£1 definitely isn't enough, £5 or £10. Very annoying when people change their username when they have a high amount of posts. Just not cricket.

Shouldn't this be a sticky?

 

[Brovion]

Shouldn't this be a sticky?

It should be a fiver to request a sticky. And, yes, a fiver to change username.

It was a sticky, but everything became unsticky, when the fixtures list was made a sticky... *breath*

...and avatars and signatures and search was all 'on'.

Time to go back to normal, I think. The rush never materialised.

So are you going to make it a fiver...?

 

[The Kid That Talks Sense]

Can i change mine to "fat kid"? Cheers.

 

[csider]

Why would some one want to change anyway

 

[Norman Potting]

Fair enoughski I feel. Feel free to make it higher, I have already done mine (and no, I am not a sociopath, just preferred to be slightly more anonymous).

I regret everything about my name, the cheap kid like text slang and the fact I put a players name in it that is about to f*** off. However it is what i am known as and it would be a change of identity while also a pain for everyone else to grasp it is still the same poster.

Whilst I ought to mention that this is just a football website user-name, and few people care much (or know anything much about the you that your parents and close friends came to know) - there's still a place just below your username that you can put your old name, i.e. "ex-murraymints4brighton"
