I'd like to change my username, is there a way to do that?

 

become a paying member!

 

PM okcjeeper. He's the only one who can change 'em. Btw, you only get one change so be wise.

 

I suspect they'll change more than once if good justification is given. I doubt they would just because your username is based o. You latest vehicle.

There is little benefit from actually paying here. The site owners make a ton of money 100x over what it cost to run!

 

Actually bheath is correct. I only change names once. I do not cater to name change whims. Folks are lucky I do that.

I am also implementing a new rule once you hit 100 posts no name change. Sorry but once you have been around for awhile you have an identity. I remember names pretty well and do not like them to change on me.

Just to add anyone beyond 6 months won't get a name change either. That's my standing rule. We don't change names simply because you had a 96 and bought a 99. Sorry not gonna do that.

 

aww, and i wanted to change my name to okcjeeper2. lol

 

I strongly disagree, but as someone who has never become a supporting member I don't expect you to understand.

 

He just enjoys complaining. It's free..

 

Ain't that the truth.

 

See in my circumstance, I may need to change because my name is tied to my business andd trademark may be an issue. I'm not filing for the change right now because my Jeep ownership may not last, so why change to my new identity when I may not be around. If I can't sell the Jeep, I will file for a change.

I agree (and kinda said I figured as much) that you won't change on a whim. However, consistence is a big deal. If my new name/identity/business is so revised everywhere else, I suspect a reasonable accommodation is not asking to much.

Another situation I foresee as a reason to change a user name is a ham radio person who upgrades there license and their FCC issued call sign changes (and that is the user name they choose).

Of course the site could always institute a "real names only" policy. Many sites do this too.

 

Show me where the benefit is!

 

God forbid should someone actually make a suggestion. Especially at times when the majority of people agree.

Paying for something that is already supported by tons of advertising revenue just isn't my thing. So much so that revenue makes up 10x over any cost to run the site. Still working on how much the site makes...but I suspect it is a lot more than people think.

But thanks for also recognizing my positive contributions too....cause I'm sure you are all over that too!

I would easily pay, when I see a justification. I like the site. Perhaps the site needs a paid administrator that can spend more time adressing member concerns and suggestions. I recognize you are busy, but sometimes it just isn't enough for something to grow...and this site needs to grow.

 

Thread has ran it's course.
