changing our user names?

are we able to change our usernames?

a religious friend said mine might be offensive to some.
i wanted to change it for a long time and wasn't sure if it was possible.

What they'll do is close your old account and change your signature to "XXXXX is now known as YYYYY", and ask you to create a new account.

I think that RFD should charge a fee for changing the usernames of existing accounts as a way to raise funds.

Why would they have to go through this? Couldn't you just change your signature after? Couldn't you also just create a new account?

I find it offensive that you would change your username for that reason :evil:

The BOLD part is not true....unless no I'm aware of.
And yes you can register for a new account and close your old one. If we find out you have multiple accounts, we will ban one for you, so you better tell us.

I want to username change too, but I'm not allowed to as well. :razz:

RFD is missing a potential revenue source. Selling new names and custom titles has been used successfully by other forums.
