Is it possible to change your username?

I was wondering if i could get my username changed. When I was the administrator of a board, a long while ago, I could change usernames. And I was wondering if it's possible on this board.

I suppose I should give a reason, too. Okay, so my username is Azrixaris Vorn. But I joined the board before I discovered my full name, Azrixaris Casselu Vornath, so it's weird typing only half of my name. And seeing as how almost everyone I know calls me Azrix, (or Azzy/Azzie for those who know me really well) I wanted to change my username to my short, easier name.

The end.

But do we do it on this forum? No. Too many people would be unhappy with that, and you can have a title.

I have nothing against that. I'm just saying that people who are obsteperous would ask their names to be changed.

Its not that I don't like it. It's that when I joined, I only knew a portion of my draconic name, and now I have discovered the rest of it.

Tempest only regulates title changes so he can avoid account problems due to change all together. Its been a rule here since I can remember.

It can be done but I would prefer to do this as infrequently as possible. Basically, if you do want to change your username (I am making a rule on the fly), you should be willing to keep it for the next 12 months to the very least since frequent change in a member username can lead to a lot confusion around the board.

For those who really want to change your username, make your request below this post.

PS: I am very sorry for the delay in the response to this thread. Answering all those requests is my personal responsibility, and I had been neglecting to do this.

Er....(thinking of honorific) Tempest-elda, (ok, Blatant misuse of Eragon, or wherever Paolini got it from)

Tempest-Elda, we are all glad that this board is still functioning, and you are not to blame if you atrent on the forum for a few days, due to problems in life, Im suire all here understand that. Though personally, I agree. you should put more thought into your name when you get it. (JAkesmum, *cough cough*)
