Is there a way to change my StimHack forum username?
yes. go to preferences on your account.
I can’t see the option there. There’s an option to add (and perhaps change) a Name, but not the Username that i can see.
There does not appear to be an option to change your username.
This is something I would also like to know… and who operates Stimhack?
It is owned by @SneakySly, but I don’t know if he is still active. I believe Null Signal might operate it?
I’m pretty sure there’s NSG staff that have admin access to these Stimhack forums that may be able to help. @nullsignalgames? @Orbital_Tangent? @Exile? @Tamijo?
I seem to remember getting a message from a stimhack admin, back when i originally posted this a couple of years ago, telling me that a username couldn’t be changed. I can’t find it now though. Either way i suspect the immutability of the username might be hardwired to some extent.
I think the only thing to do is stick to your username, or get a new account.
NSG have taken over hosting costs, but it’s still moderated by the community. I’m not sure who the forum mods are, but I doubt they can change basic forum functionality, I’m guessing this is just some off-the-shelf forum software.
Actually, quick glance at the about page shows that @tolaasin is a mod here. But I have no idea if he can help with a username change.
The active forum moderators are myself and @bblum. The admin tools allow us to change usernames, yes. I’m not hugely enthusiastic about doing this on a regular basis, but in principle it’s possible. @TotsuzenheniYukimi what would you like to change your username to?
I understand if you don’t want to set a precedent with regards to admins changing usernames. I imagine it could become quite a time consuming activity if it catches on, as it were. If you are happy to change my username i have messaged you.
Appreciated.
Done. Spaces aren’t allowed in usernames, so I’ve used an underscore.
