    Change of username?
    About five people have a really similar username to me and I don't like it.

    Is there anyway I can change it?

    That is all.

    I don't think they let you change it any more without good reason.

    OP, what you could do, is ask for the mods to 'anon' your account for you and you delete all your posts and make a new account. :yy:

    As timewarp said (damn your long username), it has to be special circumstances for a change of username.
