^No idea. The forum site just says besides it's name ( Powered by Invision Power Board )
Anyhow, I personally like their 3 month system, it's not really THAT confusing, and there are people who like to use names of a character that they might like at the moment, but if you're stuck for a whole year with that name while your interests change .. And if such option to change it manually would be there, then there would no need for moderators to be bothered about '' too many requests ''.

Given that no such system exists in vBulletin at the moment, and given what I said above, I don't think it's likely that any time will be invested in implementing such an option any time soon. Sorry for the inconvenience...

+100 members suddenly naming themselves after a new popular character, could easily lead into many similar usernames. Having it happening naturally as the community grow is one thing, to have it happening every three months would be a different ball game alltogether.

You sure? I do remember there was a time when the time period was "undefined" (as far as the thread is concerned), and mods would just ask for "come back next year" (which at the minimum would be around 5-6 months); but don't recall the rules ever saying "6 months", and I followed this thread for a long time, since many posters change names.

As more people posted their request publicly somewhere in this forum, more people found out they could request a name change. Eventually this thread established itself and, inevitably, the frequency of requests increased (both here and via PM). It was as a result of a number of people requesting frequent changes (a few even changed their minds three times in a week) that we change the "if you're going to be fickle, we'll say no for at least 6-12 months" rule of thumb to a "make sure you really want the new name because you'll have to wait one year between changes" policy. |

I'd like my name changed to Aurélie, or Aurelie if you can't get the é. Thank you (again) in advance.

So I've been thinking this past few days whether I should change my name. I have been using this name for the past 4 years, but I've grown tired of it lately. So I've decided to change my username. So may I have my username changed to Haru~? Thank you very much.

When I asked to change my username to Dist, I actually asked to change it to -Dist but it wasn't possible?
Then why was Haru~'s request possible with that ~ thingy ? Or is there some stupid rule that names can't start with other than letters ? I highly doubt it affects anything whether name starts with a - ~ or anything else than a letter. And with that said, I would appreciate if my name was changed to -Dist if it was possible, and if for some reason it isn't then I would really like to know why.
