Just saying.

Bold mine.

That's not victim talk?

Knowing who's against me makes me a victim? In what universe? I just like to keep my enemies close.

Yikes. If I'd known this was going to be taken personally, I wouldn't have voted. *cancels vote* 

My opinion is that no, there shouldn't be two name changes a year. If you can't choose one and stick to it for longer than a year, then you shouldn't get to change it. On another forum I go to, you get one free name change period. Any other name changes you want, you need to donate money to the site.

I have donated money to the forum.

Do you think if I offered to donate more money, they'd change their mind?

Enemies, really?  You thrive on drama, we get that about you.

Fine, if it calms your nerves, we can be the vague acquaintances. Oh, yeah, she's the one with the thing.

Better?

The impetus for the original rule was that people changing usernames was confusing to people. Since then, the 'previous username' tag in the info next to the person's avatar has been implemented, rendering the initial rationale for limiting changes moot. Since the rule no longer serves any real purpose, retaining the limit just because of tradition, that that's the way it has been, is stupid. I think a reasonable limit might be arguable, but restricting it to a year just seems to punish those who might want to change it sooner for no reason or benefit.

At least someone around here has a reasonable mind. You always did, though.
