Why can't i change my name?

[Shuvi Tupya]

I am trying to update my forum name from Shuvi Tupya to Shuvi McTupya and i am getting a message saying that no special characters are allowed.

Any idea's?

ta.

[Matt172]

you aren't allowed to have spaces in usernames any more

[Shuvi Tupya]

Oh..

Is it because spaces are white, and therefore racist?

wierd.

No. That's not it, silly. They are trying to save on bandwidth, and spaces are nothing, therefore a waste.

the hamsters can't cope with spaces or any characters other than numbers and the alphabet, sends them a bit mental

[Shuvi Tupya]

I guess i won't be changing my name after all.

I feel special now, having that space there

How about McHaggis?

Sorry Shuvi. I decided that my spur of the moment silly idea of McHaggis was too good to miss...

Your account is now in arrears to the tune of one G&T Mr Shuvi...

[LordGrover]

Would you change my name too please?

Lord Grover of Sodbury, Love God and all round good guy

That should do it.

[TheHeretic]

Somewhat was the point of changing the format limitations? Is this just to feed your G&T habit? Bloody drunkard.

Going by the current rate.
That'd cost you 22 G&T's... Payment in advance
Also no, you can't have all that as your name
