In 2010 and 2011, free name changes were offered but with a few rules. If this special offer was to happen now, what would you change your name to? If you wish, you can do this with your very first username if you've already changed yours.

Merry Christmas, ATRLers. I'm feeling generous, so I'm letting you do something EXTREMELY RARE today, and TODAY ONLY. For one day, you can format your user name.
Does this mean you can pick a totally new user name? NO. NO NO NO. FORGET IT. But I've decided to crack open the sealed vault of user names on the server to let you do a few things.
1. Add or drop capital letters
2. Add or drop accents/symbols
3. Add or drop punctuation
4. Add or drop spaces/underscores
5. Add or drop numbers
6. Drop undesired words/letters
7. Correct misspelled words
Let's take a look at a few examples so you can see what I mean.
Old user name: jamess_H_1728
New user name: James H.
OKAY!
Old user name: ~GaGaL1ci0üs~
New user name: Gagalicious
OKAY!
Old user name: Demi 4ever
New user name: Selena 4ever
HELL NO!
You can't change your entire name to one totally generic word or just the name of an artist.
To request, reply to this thread with your desired user name format in size 7 font. I'll come back today (or maybe tomorrow) and make the changes. If your name doesn't change, it was taken or you didn't read the instructions!
ONCE YOU POST IT IN GIANT TEXT, THERE'S NO GOING BACK. BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
Aw, I remember this. It was cool for some people (e.g. those with names like gagalover27 who then became gagalover), but a trainwreck for others (e.g. gagalover who then became Glove).
I would keep my username the same. I only changed it once (to Kin, in honor of the Iamamiwhoami album), and I regretted it and changed it back after 90 days.
