Modifying displayed nickname, WTF?
08/25/11 at 05:42:27

OK, so I'm trying to turn my nickname into Mario86 again (since "Mario" is still impossible to get there :'(), and I get this:

Quote:

Error: This displayed name is already in use by another member.

OF COURSE BITCH, IT'S USED BY ME, FUCK YOU

How the hell can this be fixed? BTW, I'm still dreaming about displaying my name as "Mario", which is still held by this ghost user that has no posts anymore on the board and has vanished for years:

Would it be possible to get it or not? Sad

The feeling of being a world champion is intoxicating, and I didn't want to ever not be the world champion again. Then I realized it didn't matter that much since I had nothing more to prove and achieved my most important goal(s).

Could someone fix this issue please? Smiley

Once again I can't get my nickname back when I try to modify my profile because it's "already in use by another member", it's just ridiculous. Sad

I think the O turned into a zero generates more confusion than this, but thanks for the tip, bro

If I get my Shirley Manson avatar back it'll be Shirley and I'll ask an admin to have a light pink coloured nickname with pink shells under my post status.

Just add a space or symbol to Mario86 for the time being. Having a contest to choose your nickname sounds like fun though, lol.
