Name Changes

[Furinkazen]

Can you change your username? I want to change to Furinkazen..

 

[Fuzzy]

Only Premium members can change there usernames.

How do you become a premium member?

Or alternatively, you can start a new account with the desired username and have a moderator ban your current one. The choice is yours.

Just keep in mind that going this route would result in you "losing" your posts. They'd still show up in threads but you wouldn't be able to edit them and they obviously won't show up in your new accounts post count.

I wonder if Jordan would implement a way for moderators to approve a username change for a non-premium user, or just keep it as privilege for those who support the site directly

Even Administrators don't get to change usernames for Premium members - it's a Jordan-only deal.

It's a feature which will only always be available to Premium users. Many of them paid to support the site and take advantage of the name changing feature, and I feel it would be very disrespectful to them to give free name changes to others.

I like your name. Reminds me of LeMans, shouldn't change it in my humble opinion.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Yeah, Mulsanne, cool name, even if you go premo you should keep it!

PS - I'm saying this also because once I hit 200kmh at the Hunaudiéres straight, and I like Le Mans related usernames

In real life or in GT?

Good point Jordan, regarding the premo users.

In GT, of course!

Perhaps name changing could be an option for a small fee? For those who don't want to go premium yet for whatever reason.

Buy a months premium for a small fee (not that a year is exactly expensive) and change it then.

We no longer offer the one month option (though the year and lifetime prices are half of the old rates 👍 ).

I believe your giving out false information there. Correct, no more one month option but the other two options are roughly same price as before.

Looking the the Premo sign-up form, and having been around GTP's blocks a few times, the current (as of this post) prices are indeed, half of what they used to be.

It really was $25/year and $50/lifetime back in late-2004.

Hmm interesting, well on my side they are roughly same prices as before.

I actually did reduce the prices and removed the monthly subscription option on January 24th. The annual subscription price was reduced from $19.95 to $12 and the lifetime subscription was reduced from $49.95 to $25.
