Wouldn't it just take a competent VCoder to add something like this: https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=236980
Or am I missing some bigger element and/or version history that doesn't allow this. It does what we want. |

Actually, based on that idea, would it not be possible to do some kind of webform where you have to log into your AlliedMods account (I'll explain why in a second), then you choose a payment option and pay....let's say $10, and choose a new name. When payment is received by the system, it logs it under the donation banner on the forums and then sends an SQL command telling the database to find the old username and change it to the new username. Logging into your account first is because if we just had an open form that said like..."enter your current username", "enter your new name choice", "payment", then people could go around renaming everyone to stupid shit. Regardless, that method should result in a forum-wide username change. Then just have our profiles display name changes as well (for admins). This could help attain more donations for server costs. Or I could be talking out of my ass and be completely wrong in my assumptions (though I specifically have renamed a PHPBB forum account username in PHPMyAdmin back when I was hosting the TF2Classic forums and it did indeed change the username site-wide, so I'd have to say I'm not wrong) |

You CAN change your name even to this day. They only will do it if "something doesn't work right", as stated on the rules. Now I don't know what classifies as "doesn't work" but it's there.

Especially simple if you create your own name change form like I suggested in my post above. That way you have full control over how the form works and how it logs the information (old username, new username) and that then allows you to use that information for name change logs. Quote:
And again, your username can always be modified in the SQL tables for the forums and given a quick forum cache purge, the name change will show forum-wide. |
