I was just wondering why [H] forum does not allow users to change their login name?
 
No forum I know of allows users to change their user name. I might change a name for someone if there is a good reason.

I just wanted to change my name due to many PM's I get from people who are confused about my name and I just don't like anyone trolling in my thread just to poke at a name they really don't understand...

I just wanted to change it to my domain name carloswill. I would really take it as a super cool favor if it is not to much trouble for you.

Man, that must suck. You'd definitely be better off with a name that doesn't stick out as much. :(

Like Jesus Lincoln. hahahaha anyone see that daily show? Holy shit that was funny. That sucks that you get people bother you just because of your name.
 
its not just that...it is just annoying due to the fact that they think 666 means the # of the devil :rolleyes:

That is just a common misconception of the #. It actually translates to the the latin word "latinos" in roman numerals.
 
This is one of the few instances in which it would be appropriate. Usually its confusing to other members and annoying to the admins, but this seems like a case where he would be able to browse with less interference and commentary.

Change it :)

I thank you guys and even though looking at the whole thing it is my own fault for knowing this was going to happen or atleast I should have known but ... its too late now and I just thought it was cool.

Hard forums and forums.pcper.com are the only forums I post in daily so it was pretty important to me. ;)

No one should be harassed over something so childish as the name you post under. Next we'll have separate forums for people with postcounts under 100. :rolleyes:

I hope you can get your name changed to something that will cause a little less ruckus. :)
 
It does not happen all the time - it just depends on what forum I post in. I know for sure when I go to the gaming threads - they all love to trash talk and troll there so I try and avoid posting there if I can -

If I post in the OS or Network threads, they all seem to be very helpfull and mature...it just helps where you post I guess.

It's only important that "You" know what your chosen name means, and what it means to you. Of course, it does stand-out there, but smile and let 'em wonder.

Since some people with perfectly" innocent" sounding names, can post the most "evil" crap imaginable!
Names then, are irrelevent.

Good Luck ;)

I am probably entirely off base here, and showing my ignorance, so please educate me ...

666 in Roman Numerals is DCLXVI ... how is that anything like "latinos" in latin? To the best of my knowledge (limited) latin (as a root word) has no latin translation.
