How to change my name?

[Darkplague]

Hi,

I would like to change my name to something less sinister sounding.
"Darkplague" is a name I have used for many years and stems from my early days of online gaming playing UT and Quake3. I am a fair bit older now and think its time for a change.

Ive been in the edit user profile and there is options to change everything except the User's name. Am I missing something here? :help:

Only administrators are able to change usernames.

I quite like Darkplague.

Me too... It's very "Star War's" like!

Didnt know it was so popular!

Thanks guys.

I thought to myself it may sound a little "sinisterish", especially for the younger audience.

Perhaps I will stick with it for a little longer then.


Over the easter break, I took my scope up to my parents shack in Edithburgh. The skys they have are as dark as you can get... Period.
Pity it was a full moon that day however I have a funny story to tell about my father.

We started looking around together when suddenly I pointed the scope out towards where the moon was. (at this time the moon was very close to Jupiter) Dad, check out this! I said. My father proceeds to look through the EP, about 1 min later he pulls me aside and says, Son, the view is not bad but to be honest I was expecting more from a scope this size.

I reply , Youre joking! I think the views are excellent!

This had me thinking as to what he was on about so I had another look at what he was seeing, and proceeding to LOL.

Dad, that is actually Jupiter youre looking at, not the full moon! :rofl:

My dad actually thought he was looking at the moon when it really was Joop because the 2 were so close that night. When he eventually saw the "real" moon he was so embarrassed.

My Dad, the NOOB!!!@@@@@!!!!

Hi Darkplague,Thats a shame that you might keep your name cause i was thinking of some alternatives for you .
How about -The asphyxiator or soldier of death or bloodsucker or..........:lol:

I agree, Darkplague is a good username, although it would be nice to have a real name to put to the user in your sig. :)

[Darkplague]

Hi Leon. Head into your user profile and select "Edit Signature" from the side bar

You can change your name if you have a really good reason....but it's an ok name. It's a name.
I can think of worse names. If you had typo'd the 'g' you would have been... DarkPlaque (A sinister astronomer with gum disease)
