: Binirit has a right to change his name. I agree with ehasl, The Trout, and TrayC on this subject. If Binirit wants to change his name he should change it immediately. WC would only accept it if redink1 puts a foot up his A S S for not being fair. I know that redink1 will change it. He is usually fair to everybody and treats Dinkers with respect. So I shouldn't worry too much about it.  Even Jamie changed his name. So a new improvement to DN would have the capability of changing your name and pass.

: That is all I have to say, I may or may not be warned or flamed for this but it's worth the risk in helping out a friend.

1) Changing a username isn't as simple as editing a text-box and hitting submit. Very serious things can go wrong.

2) WC can't change people's usernames. Well, I think it is possible, but he has a chance of messing things up even more than if I did it, because he has to use the web interface.

3) I've already talked to bin about this, and I decided that I'd change bin's name during the move to Miasma v2, when less things could go wrong.

4) Changing Jamie's username was a mistake, and I never should have done it. I know, I agree that bin's reason to have his name changed is 1,000,000 times greater than Jamie's. But I've realized it isn't worth the risk after doing it once.

5) I could build a change-username functionality into Miasma v2, but I will not. Once Miasma v2 is fully installed (and after bin's name is changed) there will be absolutely no more name changes.
