You guys should know that an admin can change your name if you absolutely need it done at some point. :P

It also seriously screws up my CMer photo labelling on my harddrive. :lol: I label by "real name (username)".

but its not confusing for long. we always figure out who everyone is in a relatively short time. and i thought that's why the username changes thread was initiated.

Well, we actually started this poll in the mods forum before that thread got started... it ended tonight in a tie, so that's why it's here now.

I don't mind people changing their names if I can still tell who they are -it's when they change their avatar and sig at the same time that it gets really confusing (Froggy that means you!!!!).

Anyway, I voted to turn off the changes cos the less things that can confuse me the better!
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

But you get the hang of it soon enough. I think that it's important to give the option for people to change it.

i say don't turn off the username changes.

...pretty much the same reason as claire.
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.
