Yes, PM Chris for sure or DMB maybe.

I changed to my real name some time back.

We really don't often allow username changes.

If you do get it changed, your real name will be your new username.

Contact dm_fan who is the PY forums admin.

Off topic a bit; I admin a forum with not so many users as here, but a job none the less.

I discourage ID changes; except to real names, because it is too hard keeping up with people after they change to some other random ID. I still allow it; but for some time have had it on my mind to close the door on ID changes.

Steve I agree.

Also its to keep a member from ripping off members (sales, scams, etc) then changing their names for a fresh start.

Name changes have happened in the past, but they are rare and few.

I was hoping to change my name for two reasons:

1. 6X400GMC was created because of the truck I had, an 82 GMC in which I installed a 6X headed 400. Kinda dumb name really.

2. 428Bird is what I use on every other forum on the internet.

It doesn't really matter, I was just asking. I sign all my posts with my real name anyway.
