    Default One time name change--titles are by post count

    I've gotten a few questions on this so I thought I might start a thread.

    The member titles (fully little thing under your av) were developed by Aaron and Hannah and are very funny, as a few of you have seen, cool stuff pops in and out--sometimes for only one post. Sometimes its the same for very long stretches.

    You can buy the ability to change your member title in the Beam Bucks Store

    Your member name is not something we wanted to change. I feel like it really becomes a part of how people identify with you and it gets a little confusing over the years, who is who.

    However, with that being said, I have decided I will let everyone do it once because sometimes people don't have a chance to think it through at registration.

    So let me know if you would like it changed. We will require a "formally known as" type thing in your sig for a few weeks just so everyone gets the word. Could also post it here

    1. It rocks.

    2. Good idea. I mean I can understand it. I heard the same, sometimes people can't stand their member name. It's a good thing to give a chance to everyone who would like to change it. *nods*

    3. And this is my favourite. This idea is great, too.


    Roland would have understood.

    actually, that was your member title, its an automatic

    this is about your member name and if you wanted it changed--(one time only)

    You are a man of the people, Matt; a great humanitarian; generous and wise.

    Personally I hope some people use this option to go by their real names.

    CK, maybe you can take up this offer and change your name to Ageless's CSH name for you?
    Either that or "Spoon-Eater."
    Just a thought.

    Good plan, Hannah and Aaron. I like the randomness.

    I will enjoy being JFK.
    And enjoy seeing how long I get to be an assasinated president.

    I'd like to change my name if that's possible.. I posted on .net under this name, but there's a much m ore prolific poster on here by the name of Maerlyn, so, I'd like mine changed to just Maera if that's possible..

    Good to see you here, please jump in anywhere anytime!

    I'm sure a Director will be along at some point to make your name change.

    Thanks. ^_^
    I just think it'll make things less confusing. I tried to pick an avatar that would remind people it's me, and when I can figure out how to get a signature I'll make that distinctive too, but in the mean time.. *Shrug*

    You get signature and PM capability as soon as you hit the five post mark (to discourage PM spammers). You're there now.

    Hello Maera! I am going to go do your name change right now.
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
