[butter_pat_head]

Hi.  Im just asking if it is possible to get my nick changed.  I've been know as 'butter_pat_head' (obscure Red Dwarf ref. FTL) but for the past few years I have been going by the handle of 'Hojo_Norem'.  I started using that nick with EVE Online and then spread from that, changing my old nick on whatever boards I could.

Could I please have my nick changed to Hojo_Norem ?

Thanks.

We generally don't change nicknames unless it's for a very good reason.  And butter_pat_head is a fun name.

I can't really think of a better reason to change it other than for convenience (I play as Hojo_Norem on Minecraft and Steam for example).

Well, I had to ask at least once, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Oh, that's you on Minecraft? I honestly had no idea D:

Butter pat beats some of the other things that Kryten's head has been compared to!

The_sizzler is a fun name too

[Goober5000]

Indeed it is.   As is qazwsx, swiss_gripen, pecenipicek, Hemaroid_Frog_Butt, and many others we've had over the years.  (I'm drawing a blank right now; I'm sure there are some real howlers that I'm forgetting.)

So I guess that time where you changed my username without my consent about two or three times in rapid succession was a "very good reason"?

It was changed back, wasn't it?

[butter_pat_head]

Sorry if it sounds like I'm nagging, but is there any chance of a yes or no answer on this?

my guess? nope.

[Goober5000]

No.  Reread the post.  I listed your name as "a fun name", not as a name that requested a change.

I would say no.

I'm popular WHOOO!

Sure, but I'm still pointing out Goober's hypocrisy here.

[Shivan Hunter]

You could always just make a new account...

Yeah, you'd lose all your posts, but you could always just put "the FS player previously known as butter_pat_head" in your sig.

[Jeff Vader]

Once I requested a nick change.

[Goober5000]

Sure, but I'm still pointing out Goober's hypocrisy here.

A brief and temporary change of a nickname as part of a prank is quite different than a permanent change as part of a forum identity.  Feel free to complain about the prank, but don't pretend that it's the same issue as this.

Sorry but it kinda does relate to it, you not changing someone's name because they ask for it and they feel strongly it needs to be done, while you changed mine without my permission and against my will numerous times because you 'thought it was funny'.

Plus, The_Sizzler was a fun name, and you changed it to Popllion or w/e it is now.
