I don't understand this logic here.
We are to change his name because he wants to match a sig he so happens to have....
Wait a minute here; can't he maybe use a new sig, Remake that sig, edit that sig, or not use a sig?
I really don't see the point of changing a name to fit a sig because that person chooses not to be more productive and fix something of his own doing, but instead takes the easy way out
image fail!
yeah! i mean wait, that's not what i meant to say, putting the sig aside, i'm just saying he should just be able to change his name if he wanted and if that's alright with complich8 or anyone else.
@masa: what exactly made my other name cooler? it was longer and people always mistakened it alot for something else when it didn't mean that, which suprises me, because it leads me to believe you knew what it meant. on that note, i just wanted it to be short and simple.
also, one thing i learned while posting in these forums, it's the poster, not the name.
alright, i think i'm going to stop here before i really do something stupid.

I'm fine with changing names for what I think of as "good reasons" ... but my definition of "good reasons" is completely arbitrary.
I'm open to suggestions, but I tend to ignore and forget about a lot of irc traffic -- it's much more transient. Private messaging me works, but it annoy sme, and confuses people. This thread is still here for a reason: I'd like to keep username change requests in public, if nothing else so people who care can figure out what's going on.
I felt like the name changes I granted in this little rush have all been pretty well justified, and for the most part either neutral or positive changes (which is why BoC didn't become "Board" -- I felt it would be a negative change).
Mizuchi is a distinctive name. Son Goku is just another dbz fanboy, blending into the background noise. I'd rather have an ill-regarded poster with a unique name than an ill-regarded poster that's also got an annoyingly crappy name.
I'd suggest that maybe someone from the photoshop realm extend a helping hand and make the kid a decent sig. Deadfire? You seem to have time on your hands
Eh, I don't see why you guys care so much. If he wants to become a DBZ fanboy and lose all his uniqueness, let him. It would be his loss.
@DF: Not everyone can make a cool new sig as often as you can, and not everyone is as proficient in PS as you are. Or maybe he just really likes the sig. As Comp said, if you oppose the idea so much, why don't you change the sig for him or make him a new one?
I dont want to be a DBZ fan boy. In fact, I hate DBZ. I just want a cool sig and I don't really remember how to use photoshop. Even if I learned again that goku sig is the best one I ever made, and I don't think I could make another like it.
(for those who dont kno what it looks like)
@mage:
Ive gotten 1 pos rep
this is why name change requests should be done over IRC or PM. Everybody starts thinking they're entitled to a name change whenever they see fit...
Red, your name was so much cooler before.
bOc was always pretty badass, but i can understand getting annoyed stretching the page out...
mizuchi, if you can get your reputation back to green (good god i've never seen someone with rep THAT low) you can have MY name, or any one you want for that matter...
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I wonder if he's even gotten a positive rep before..
I would like my change to be named from splash to Splash! if its not too much of a bother.
That sounds nice and non-controversial.
No response on mine?
1. That sig exceeds the size limit on Gotwoot, which is 400x100. Resize or remake it first.
2. With some practice, you can make better ones. You can definitely make something better than that.
"Mizuchi" > "Son Goku" because DBZ isn't cool.
well, who are you to decide what mizuchi wants? gay or not, it's his choice, so we shouldn't butt in.
@mizuchi: yeah, what board said, that sig is way too big and you CAN do better.

We have no right to tell him to learn to use photoshop. I refuse to learn b/c I don't like creating, so I ask others do it for me. And if he wants to name himself Goku why should we care...he could just as easily make a new account if he really wants to change, then we'd have to start neg repping him all over again. I personally don't want to have to rebuild my part of the masterpeice that is Mizuchi's rep on a new account. And anyway comp grants or doesn't grant name changes based on whatever the heck he feels like anyway.
Oh well. Since the name change probably won't happen, would anyone be kind enough to make me a nice looking sig?
Go to the sig request thread.
Before anyone does that, do this first.

I don't think any name change that completely changes your identity should be allowed. A community isn't a community if you don't know the guy that has 500 posts because he changed his name to something COMPLETELY irrelevant to what it was before.
I think name changes should only be permitted if it keeps the person's identity established (like IFHTT would be a permitted example)
