Title: Suggestion to enable changing of display names
Post by: [GSF]Niall on January 21, 2008, 11:54:04 am: I think it would be pretty cool if everyone on the forum were able to change their display name(not username) whenever they wanted, a good example of this is the SA-MP forum, if you register there or are registered already there you'll find that you can change your name whenever you want, i think this would be a great feature and a lot of people would appreciate it. I know argonath like to be unique in all things and do not like to 'copy' anyone but i don't think this would be seen as copying as i'm sure a lot of forums have it and it is a SMF feature.

Anyway let me now what you think and maybe if enough think it's a good idea it might be implimented

Like, gandalf changename to Stacy, then you have Stacy come and ban you and like WTF!? WHO IS STACY!? :p

Post by: Obi1 on January 22, 2008, 06:53:26 pm: Well i love the idea, but people in the server are always changing names and i dotn know who they are so it wouldn't make any change

Post by: VMNT on January 23, 2008, 12:48:52 am: It's a bad idea, one of my guitar forums used to have that, now it doesn't... and my name there is stuck as... "pretty_pinkdangerous_noah"...

Other victims were... "Ugogbuzuo_Jacobs" and "Dikembe_Mutombo"

:lol:

Post by: PMP on January 23, 2008, 01:34:24 am: now talking seriouly, what i advise you to do is to write the name you use ingame or the one you would like people to call you under the forum username. that what i do and everyone know that [NS]PiMP = PMP
