just i think i might have joined the boards before registering this nick...

I did the same thing. I know I had joined as a previous member for the Civ3 GOTM games, but never posted or submitted. That was several months if not longer before I started this one. I couldn't remember my original username. :D
 
The moderator forum is beyond the reach of mortals ... where did you hear that anyway ? ... :hmm:
 
The SF Trio (Site Feedback) is the three that got banned from Site Feedback for blatant and continuous spam. That's all that needs to be said, that's all that will be said.

I heard there is a moderator forum, where i can read about a curious venture called "The SF Trio," and some rather amusing, if abusive, PMs now made public. How do i get to this?

The pms were never made public nor were they abusive. TF might have posted them in the mod forums but I doubt it.

@Turner: Says you :p
 
If you have any info on the old account, let TF know via PM/email, and he will merge the two accounts.

i dont though, im not totally sure i did sign up previously i just think i may have done. It could have just been a site that looks a lot like it.
 
This may be an asinine question, but I want to change my user name? Is that ever possible? On some boards they have name change days, does that happen here? Or would I just have to re-register, and abandon this account or something? I know it would be hassle for a bunch of dorks to be constantly bugging the mods or admins saying "I wanna change my name, waaah." But I don't want to re-register cause that's a stupid thing to do for such a vain reason, and besides, I registered in 2003, so even though I'm an unimportant lurker, I kind of want to keep that status of alleged seniority. I looked in the FAQ's but couldn't find the answer to these questions.
 
You would need to PM the admin, Thunderfall, for that request. I'm not sure of the criteria required to get a name change, however. It has been done in the past.
 
It's amazing what's in the rules:
Multiple accounts are not permitted.
Create one account, make sure you're satisfied with the name, and keep it. Be sure to choose your user name carefully. If you wish to change your user name for whatever reason, please contact Thunderfall.

You generally have to be a regular poster i thought.

I don't think so. I thought that it would be better for a lurker or a n00b to change their name. But see what happened to Sloz? He had to have his old name up for 2 months.

So, I entirely doubt that length of time on the site, or post count affects Thunderfalls descision. :)

well who is TF going to put time and effort in for? somebody who is going to post a couple of times then leave or someone who is a regular poster adding to the site?

I'm sure he makes his decision based on each case. The marginal effort for making such a change is pretty low if he is here on a regular basis. And by his posting he seems to be around...even if he ignores my question about poster HoF. :mischief:
