Hey Petie ol pal, could I get my name changed to "Shade" if there isn't already a registered member over here named that? Username consistency between VGR and VGFacts would be pretty dang cool. Thanks!
Nope! Instead, I'll go change your VGR name.
Wait, what happened?! Shade it is, I guess! :)

BKS is too long,i would like my name be Kaymaniko.
Okay, all set.

How are you doing, Peter? I would like a very small (and the last) change to my name. Instead of Space Jockey I would like Zpace Jockey. The reason for it? I just think it sounds weird and unique. Well, that and because I want to distance myself a little from my namesake.
Thanks guys.
Sure! Done!

Change my name to Hajime,please. I dislike my current name.What specific issues do ya mean?
Okay, you're all set!

Please provide a reason for the requested name change (by editing this post - feel free to PM me once it's done). Additionally, including < and > in the username may cause unexpected issues so I'd rather avoid it if possible. We can try it but it may not stick.

Sorry for the reply post that is not a request change per your first post Petie. Please correct any misunderstanding on my part or feel free to add to it. I'm always trying to learn something.
Depending on the software and programming language 'ole Petie uses, the effects vary. For example, let's say Petie uses the same software that Wikipedia uses; putting your name between the < and > could cause the name to vanish because the software that Wikipedia uses does not recognize < and > (I forgot to copy the link on Wiki where I read that).
Check out
https://code.org/learn and
https://hourofcode.com/us. I haven't done this yet, but I here it is interesting.
If you want to kill some time, Google: Java, ASCII, and C++. There will be many cross-references to other types of programming language also. It's mostly Greek to me, but I find it interesting.
You're kind of on the right track. Chevrons (the actual name for < and >) are the tag markers for HTML and the PHP on the site strips out HTML from submissions so there's a chance it would break with a username that was basically an invalid HTML tag. If there's interest in this discussion, we can move it to a separate thread and also regain the no non-requests in this thread while we're at it!

Allright, this is the LAST time I'm going to request a name chage...
Current name: Zpace Jockey
New name: ZpaceJ0ck0 (notice that those are zeros instead of the letter "o")
The reason for it? My current username is pretty lame, is just "Space Jockey" but with a Z instead of a S. That's so original....
Okay, you're all set but this is the last one forever (apparently)!

Hello I wanna change my name from Dark to Zorklis since it's more unique and I am basically using it everywhere else I can think of. Thanks :)
No problem! Done!
