Probably a long shot, but is there any way to change our user name?

Yes, only once...Let me find it for you... got it! Now, using my horrendous inability to link threads... I will fail miserably.

I'll just copy and paste it:

One time thing? Man that's a lot of pressure. How about once every couple of years or something?

We really don't want people changing their usernames once every few years. Not only would that be a headache for the admin/mods to take care of, but it also creates confusion, because other users get used to knowing each other by their username, so when somebody's username changes, any memories/perceptions of that person tend to get lost as well.

So allowing that as a one-time change (if you really, really hate the original username you picked) is something we do because we don't want you stuck with something you hate and forced to start a new account because of that, but it at least minimizes that name change 'confusion' as its something that is pretty rarely done.
