Can't discriminate against some people and allow others. If some people caused the 24 hour change then we have to accept it. Not going to say I support the 499ers but it would be wrong to make them keep their names for 24 hours (as stated earlier they still changed them so 24 hours or 24 minutes is no biggie) and let others change their names to their hearts desires. Can't single out a criminal if he jaywalked and have a dozen more doing the same thing. Would definitely not be right.

Well, I guess, with that being said, then allow the majority, of users, to change their user names, as much as they please, and put some sort of limitations, on those few users, that use the name changing feature, for ill-gotten reasons.

People who change their name to hurt another players feelings are lame.

funny, it was a certain SV member who orig gave us the inspiration for the first name changes that caused the rule change.

Ack..I just remembered something. Zenith said somewhere that it wasn't the fact that people kept changing names that was a problem, but what it did to the game's coding and system and shiz. It was making things go alot slower, letting people change their names like that..
I still want to change my name alot, though...........Between woodland creatures and names for 'em. XD

Not Sure it wasn't donteattheyellowsnow, tho.. I remember having a cool T-Shirt with a dog pissing on some snow, and this prop right underneath the pic

Send a thank you email to the [insert gang name here] for that one.
Lame. Let's all give a hand to the meister! He's one in a million folks!
