I would like to change my username

Well, 'reb', that's my initials. For initials they're not that bad, but it's not cool to have initials as a username. By the way, in mailing lists, irc and aur I always call myself filoktetes.
I'm not one to post every half hour, but I do post occationally, when I think I have something useful to say. So, I think it would be nice to have the same name everywhere.
Would it be possible to change my username from 'reb' to 'filoktetes'?

Maybe we need a "Please change my name" section in the forum.

Because that fills the database with un-used users and renders all your previous posts useless?

I've made a rod for my back now haven't I?  Having changed some username I can't not change others - people were supposed to do it in private!

Re: I would like to change my username

I thought it would be right to do it publicly, or else someone will wonder about this new guy at the forum, who's already posted, well at least 70 times, and has been lurking around unnoticed since 2003.
And there's this very unlikely chance that someone will remember that 'reb' had some useful thigs to say about, oh perhaps midi or something, once in 2004, and now, if I'm lucky enough to get my wish granted, this thread will be the only reference to 'reb' at all in this forum.

I think forum name changing is something that shouldn't happen too much, by the way, it would be confusing. I think your name change was very pleasant, dtw, since I have a tendency to move my tounge every time I read a difficult name...And I think it's a good thing to change my name, so that I'll be seen as one person throughout all the Arch Linux areas.

I'll pm you now, dtw
