I'm using a totally different and cryptic alias name right now, but this is in fact Mablak. Anyway, I completely forgot my btp password some time ago, so I just signed up again as Mablak1, using the same e-mail address. Could I get my name changed back to Mablak please?  :]]

IIRC, ReadMe made an auction for that privilage on BTA, where Duke payed ALOT to ensure he is known as "Zippy".

We could do it faster if we'd bother to write a utility to do it.  Then again, the utility would take time and effort.  Hrm... a real dillema there.

Split's name wasn't changed, actually. Bloopy made him a new account with the name, changed it's money and postcount same as the old one, and deleted "split". At least, that's the way to do it with minimal effort. Note that all "old" split's posts are marked as guest ones.

That would also loose his sigs, etc, wouldn't it?

Mablak should just get his old account back with a new password, he should not have signed up for a second account.

Yes it was changed, you got it totally wrong...
 
It had to be changed in a number of places in the database too.
 
Making him a new account would be completely the wrong way to do it if he wanted to get his posts and things back.

  I suppose that's one "good" thing about my degree (aero engineering), there aren't too many terms/words/etc that have "alternative" meanings.
 What, like cockpits, turboshafts, thrust, nozzles, corkscrews, ram drag, payload, flaps, and wind tunnels?  |
