a day is not the same without a little greentea. Sorry, had to say something stupid. You do have the screenname for it :)

Hopefully I don't miss the renaming, but at any rate I have seen threads like this in the past state that it is NOT possible to change usernames. Sid tried to once but was told she could not. I think it's also against the EULA to have two accounts. but anyrate... good luck.

And an echo to the question of what you would change it to?

Sorry, but that information is correct - username changes are not permitted, neither are multiple accounts.

no, the way the owner of the site has it set up, we can't delete members. We also can have only one name per user, or they are banned on sight. If you have a small amount of posts, we can change your username on the account you already have. Other than that, you are pretty much stuck with the username you have.

welcome to WP!

No and yes.

No, to the first part, as we do not delete accounts.

Yes, to the second part, and it will get all accounts banned, as members are not permitted to have multiple accounts, without getting permission from Alex.

I have one friend here who got Alex to ban his account so he can sign up for a new account because his ex was stalking him on here by following his posts to use against him in court. Now he doesn't come here anymore. Having to hide from a member is ridiculous because then you can't be yourself and you have to be very careful what you talk about and say about yourself or else he or she would know who you are.

we seem to thing we are somehow exempt from people using our words against us, but being on the Spectrum is no defense from being open on the internet. Attracting stalkers that are intent on no good is unfortunately not restricted to members, only. :roll: When I started modding, I had to leave the joys of being a member behind, and now, I am so open and exposed I can't even ask for a change of name to hide my recognizeable style behind.

I think of A****U**, who loved it here, but was driven out because she couldn't be herself, and U**1*** who is being reviled on other websites for posting here. No one exempt.

This is because it's no defence for anyone. In matters like this, everyone is equal, unfortunately.
