Could you merge my old username to posts to my new one?

ok, but that's a lot harder than a name change.

The reason I agreed to CockneyRebels request to change her username is that people are not always so smart and might make the wrong connections with the word that the first four letters of her name spells.

Has this ever happened then?

I bet it has...

I've changed offensive names before, and names that were too long before username length was limited.

I figure that if I stay under my current name and post about Buses, once every three days, it will be better for all of us.

Speaking of avatars... cute little devil.

I like your new name. As a compromise though, you could think about using Cockney Rebel as your title.

I wish my name were offensive, I'd like to change it!

Alex, another board I belong to allows member to change there name for a small fee. Maybe that would be a neat way to raise funds for the site?

Nice name change, cockneyreb-I mean routemaster. :lol:

Btw, Alex what's that little avatar you've got? I think it's the beast no. '666' but I don't have my glasses on. ((Yes, I know I'm naughty but I'm too lazy to go fetch them.))

I think it's a bad idea. I hate websites that charge for things like that. Charges are one thing that turns me off of websites.

I think it could be for the good of WP. But if you don't want to change it, then don't. So it wouldn't be a bad idea in my opinion.
