Guest hilaryfan80 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I have some unfortunate news for everyone on SBC. Due to reasons that I cannot explain just yet, we will have to remove the ability to have display names. This is something that is not in our direct control, so it gives me great pain to announce that we will have to phase out display names. You'll have until September 11th to think of a permanent name to keep, and then we'll make the name change item available for free from September 12th-15th. After September 15th, name changes will not be allowed anymore unless there's a huge circumstance, and PM a staff member if that ever happens. We will understand. Think long and hard on your permanent name, because you'll be keeping it for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 At least it'll be easier to know who everyone is from now on. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Like JCM, I also think this will make it easier to know who everyone is. My only question is what happens to SWYAD's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hilaryfan80 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Like JCM, I also think this will make it easier to know who everyone is. My only question is what happens to SWYAD's We may be able to keep SWYADs as they are, but what's happening is display names and usernames are being merged. Changing a display name barely does anything, but changing your username changes a lot of stuff, so there may be problems with SWYADs and changing your username. The area that it hurts the most is SpongeCraft, where you have locked chests and doors under your name. We'll just have to see what happens.

Joe Biden Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Why aren't you gonna use Old Man Bran Flakes? I'm starting to get tired of that name now. Plus, SpongeBob Communist is clever because it's a pun of the site name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guy With the Computer Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm never changing my name. I've had this one for almost two years, haven't change it once, and I think people mostly know me for this name, so I'm keeping it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
