Title: Name Change Days?
Chwoka - April 7, 2005 07:50 PM (GMT)
I was thinking, and on another site, they have really cool Name Change Days. Usually they last 3 or 4 days, and you can temporaraly/permently change your name. 3 ways this works;
1. If you made a mistake in your previous name.
2. If you're tired of your name.
3. If you just want a laugh, temporarly change your name.
They happen at the beggining of every month, and you can change it to whatever you want, as long as it's approprite.

Apearently that's a... No.

Nah, I don't think so. It'd be cool, but I've learned the difference between "would be cool" and "necessary."
That's why the seniors + elites who know about the U-No-Wut are having to wait so long.

Oh, well, maybe they could just do it by PMing a Admin. and having a typo fixed?
Toanuvafreak123 - April 8, 2005 02:23 AM (GMT)
That's always been the case...
dragon-91 - April 10, 2005 12:52 AM (GMT)
yeah, i had OD change my name like the first day i joined cause i couldn't spell.
Toanuvafreak123 - April 10, 2005 01:17 AM (GMT)
dargon-91, dragin-91, dragon91, draggon-91, or other?
dragon-91 - April 10, 2005 01:29 AM (GMT)
well acctually i lied it wasn't a spelling error i just hated my name.
Darkness Wolf - April 10, 2005 02:50 AM (GMT)
Then why lie about it in general?

Check out the Admin. Logs. Unless you're too lazy...
Koopaking - April 10, 2005 05:37 PM (GMT)
And while your at it, fix my name.
Toanuvafreak123 - April 10, 2005 05:48 PM (GMT)
When OD stole my account and made himself the Root Admin it prevented me from being able to check the Admin Logs. And seriously KK, you just look uneducated if you don't at least have the caps at the start of your name.
Chwoka - April 10, 2005 07:06 PM (GMT)
Dude, you can make yourself the Root Admin. Just edit your account, then OD's accoutnt...
Toanuvafreak123 - April 10, 2005 07:26 PM (GMT)
"Oh, OD, you'll be happy to know I made it so I'm the root admin again!"
"BUT IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO CRACK INVISIONFREE'S SERVERS!"
Of Doom - April 10, 2005 07:38 PM (GMT)
I did no hacking. I merely made a dark admin group. You joined it. I realized that neither of us would be the root admin group if I left it, so I change the root group to darks and the non-root to normal. I can't fix yours because your account is the root account, so I can't edit yours. It won't let you promote yourself to the root group for security reasons (To prevent secondary admins from promoting themselves and killing the site.)
It just worked out to my advantage. If were on version 2.0 of the site, I could edit the database to fix your account.

You could of said that a long time ago...
Chwoka - April 10, 2005 09:17 PM (GMT)
Well, make TNF the Root Admin. in You-Know-What. Just to be fair...

I did. You just ignored me.

I don't see why I should.
Toanuvafreak123 - April 10, 2005 10:13 PM (GMT)
Because I created the site?
Of Doom - April 10, 2005 10:16 PM (GMT)
You created a BZP rip-off called The Tnf Forums and invited all your friends to come be admins.
Chwoka - April 10, 2005 11:19 PM (GMT)
Yes, but it expanded into it's own website, compleatly...and anyway, he DID create the site, NOT YOU! Even if it WAS a Rip-Off.
Toanuvafreak123 - April 10, 2005 11:34 PM (GMT)
All OD did was the color scheme, images, and create the new name. The forums are pretty much the same.

Basically, I asked if I could change some stuff. You said yeah, so I took over.
BTW, your forums were something like:
- Nintendo general discussion
- Nintendo artwork
- Nintendo stories
I expanded the theme to all gaming. I also came up with the multiple forums we have now.
BTW, version 2.0 Tnf doesn't get to do a thing on, so meh.
Chwoka - April 10, 2005 11:44 PM (GMT)
Wait, TNF loses Admin. Powers?

No. He'd whine me to death.
BTW, it's not normal to put a dot after 'Admin,' but whatever.
Chwoka - April 10, 2005 11:47 PM (GMT)
B...b...but...that's not right! Well, to me...
Of Doom - April 10, 2005 11:53 PM (GMT)
Don't worry, I used to call Moderators MODs. As in M - O - D.
You can still see in some of my older texts I used the word "an" every time I said "Mod." It was like saying: "Can I have an M.O.D. close this topic, plz?" (That was on BZP.)
I STILL make a statement by capitalizing SPAM, because in my book, it stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Message.
Chwoka - April 10, 2005 11:58 PM (GMT)
Oh wait, I misread your post. Nevermind.
BTW, thanks for the helpful hint!
Locking...
Darn, forgot, can't do that.
Of Doom - April 11, 2005 12:33 AM (GMT)
Looks like somebody did for you. Wasn't me though.
Darkness Wolf - April 11, 2005 01:13 PM (GMT)
...(shrugs)...wasn't me, either. I was offline most of Saturday, and went to Jay's for poker on Sunday. But, whatever.
Anyways, if you think about it, it varies upon who actually created this site. Tnf made the Tnf Forums, or whatever. BGF was that, however, completely altered. Hence, becoming a new site in the process. It's one thing to change a name, and add some forums. But OD completely rebuffed the whole site, which, in turn, became BGF.
So, really, it depends how you look at it. Tnf made the site that inspired BGF, and that would serve at the base of 'evolution' for lack of a better word, to BGF. However, it was OD who 'made' BGF (and as a note, I don't know what you did, but this place is overran with spammers. Yeah, lots of members, but still, it's ridiculous).
So, it depends how you look at it. As for me, I prefer to stay out of it. Tnf made the original forums, which without, BGF wouldn't exist. However, it was OD who did bring it to this. But, still, without the Tnf Forums, it wouldn't be here. So, really, both deserve credits. Although, I'm still the coolest here >.< (just a little joke)

And don't forget, you abuse that at my site, you're be downgraded so fast...
Toanuvafreak123 - April 11, 2005 02:12 PM (GMT)
FYI, I just invited my friends from BZP. A lot others stumbled into it when Google Searching Bionicle, I think. OD was the one who advertised and got 500 Spammers on here.
Darkness Wolf - April 11, 2005 07:31 PM (GMT)
Of course he did. He said he's the one who did the advertisment.
