fippylol Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I wanted to change it because when I made this I was a young lad, but sad to find out I couldn't. What's the reason for this not being allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Because the two sides of the Nexus ("forums" and "sites") are tied together with highly customized code that uses the username as the "Key Field". If you do any work with databases, you know that changing the contents of a Key Field can corrupt the entire record, and in certain cases cause much more damage. The older the account, and the amount of posting (forums) and downloading/uploading/endorsing/following/blocking (sites) determines how much manual back-end work would need to be done to make the change. With basically volunteer staff, it's more than Dark0ne wanted to mess with. We offer the opportunity to Close an account and register with a new username. Reply in this topic to do so. But be aware that this will break the association with any previous activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
