Apt Pupil or Constant Reader ... I know those choices are not any more creative than my birth name and initials spliced together.

Is the message board not able to let members change there name, or was this option disabled by choice? I used to be on a message board where the member had the option to change there name, but only one time.

If you change your name you are essentially also changing your account. (Back to square one and moderation.)

I suspect it is probably the board format, but would have to ask Jordan to be sure.
Screen names can be changed without resetting accounts, but it's not something we'll do for any old reason. You would need to submit your request to me along with the reasoning behind your request. Once a change is made, it cannot be undone, and we will not change a screen name more than once a year. We additionally only allow a screen name to be changed twice.

Now I understand, thanks J.
