Recently their have been a few requests for some users to change their username.

The forums policy on changing usernames is one that each request is judged on its individual merit and we only change usernames in rare circumstances such as security issues.
However due to an increased number of requests we are offering to change anyone's username up until 15th March, after this deadline it will go back to a case by case basis.

Your username is your online identity by which we know each other on here so don't just ask for a name change because you fancy a change on a whim :) Think carefully before you submit your request. We understand there are many reasons you may wish a name change e.g. to reflect a piggie business, or your name is linked to pigs that have passed and you feel uncomfortable using it.

Here is a link to the 'Username changes thread' http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/username-changes-thread.111758/ Please make a post on there saying what you would like your username changed to and a member of the admin team will action it. The thread will be locked on March 15th at noon - the admin team will then action these changes on March 16th

Thanks

Deadline is the 15th of March!

If you have username you would like to change because you are no longer a piggy newbie or because it contains sensitive information like your surname, or is similar to other usernames, please register on the link given above!

Otherwise you will have to wait for another year! ;)
 
Not that i want to change mine
I'm just asking whether it happens every year?
 
You can change your username by your own choice ONCE. This opportunity comes round once a year on the 15th March, so any newcomers have the same option. That way, name changes are not as confusing for existing members, especially those that don't come on here on a daily basis.

In case of an emergency (nearly identical usernames with existing active members, misspelling, security concerns, change of circumstances that impacts on the username etc.) admin will change the username at need.
 
Just let us know what you want and one of the admin team can do it for you no problem. :tu:
