I figure with longtime communities, there are bound to be name changes that are desired. Heck, on FAF I got tired of "Leybun" within 2 months. Name change threads are a forum staple with ever changing identities and communities.
A note about special characters - special characters in usernames such as ~!*&%$#@^ will not be approved for name change. It creates issues with the site function. Sorry!
Admins (Such as Zeke and Ariel) can change your name. It'll be fairly simple.
No requests for name changes more than 1 time every 6 months
Name change requests are only to be done in this thread
One post per person for the change.
