Hiya folks, This is my first post, and immediately after registering, I realized what I should have made my name, dumb I know, but if there's any way I can change my nick from poloadam to something else, please let me know:)

thanks
Adma

You can't. I wish I had a quick n' easy link or something to paste, 'cause I coulda swore there was another topic on this... but the discussion was probably in chat. There're a few reasons for why the mods won't do it.

• 1: If one person had their name changed, everybody'd want it changed.
• 2: It would be very confusing if someone changed their name a billion times in a short time.

Edit

Okay, found one of the conversations. Pretty sure there were two I saw, but, meh:

<i90east> can you change your forum name?
<Hibashira> I dunno
<Hibashira> Hey Josh
<IainPeregrine> I don't know, I think AD fit.
<HidingZeph> You can't.
<GMH> I don't think so.
<i90east> that's cuz we're used to AD
<GMH> I think that the mods CAN do it, but they just won't. And no one else can.
<Hibashira> Maybe I'll switch betweent hem occasionally
<i90east> couldn't a mod change it?
<GMH> I don't think that the mods would like that.
<GMH> I do it all the time here on chat (well, I used to), but this is chat.
<@R51> We prefer not to change forum names.
<@SSJ_Cloud[paper]> We have a no name chaning policy at the forums.
<@SSJ_Cloud[paper]> e;fb.
* GMH is now known as FlareWizard
<@SSJ_Cloud[paper]> Too many issues.
<Hibashira> I dun see why not, people here have dual aliases often.
<FlareWizard> Hi Hibashira.
<Hibashira> talking about the chat there
<Hibashira> Hey FW
* @SSJ_Cloud[paper] doesn't want to remember the Sasquach/Kritter ordeal.
<@R51> Not interested in a dicussion of forum policy tonight, unfortunately. I'm a bit busy for that.
<Hibashira> I love you Josh
<IainPeregrine> Yeah, but if you open it up for some people, then you'll get flooded with "can you change my name AGAIN?" requests.
<Hibashira> heh
<Hibashira> "OrangeF###er" ain't working out for me, can you change my forum name?
<IainPeregrine> I hate typeing slow, by the time I'm done the topic has ended.
<i90east> aww man, I wanted to change my name to "Barney Teh 1337 Purple Dinosaur"

Eh, Zephir has it right. Sorry poloadam, but it's not something that we really do. Please read the rules section.

poloadam's not really a bad nick, anyway. Much better than some that I've seen around here. ^-^




--------------------

I had an old signature. Now I've changed it.

Can I delete poloadam? there isn't much unique about it yet, so deleting would be a quick fix

That is fine. I shall delete the name now.

Yay, thank you rangers! (This is polo_adam, properly known as Adma, nice to be here!)

Hey, no fair! They promised me an eternity in the infernal fires of hell if I got my name deleted to make a new one!

IF ONE PERSON GETS TO DELETE THEIR NICK, EVERYONE SHOULD GET TO!

I demand that my nick be deleted.

Oh, wait.

This is exactly what they feared would happen. I guess that NO ONE will get there name changed. any way, I like you name. It isn't bad at all.

I have a feeling you're reffering to my name...
