    You cant.

    The username cant be changed and if you make another account you will be banned.

    Yup you cant get a new username.

    And if Kel suggests a new username, I wouldnt do it. The mods have access to your IP and will still ban you for a dup account or logging on to someone elses dup account. And do not buy if this person is selling either.

    I am blonde and I am not stupid when people request things on such posts. Request it in PM next time and not be so obvious.

    My response:
    That is allowed but if the mods see any similarities in your posts/threads/signature links or anything both accounts will be banned.

    Also family members cant participate in each others threads or anything like that.

    You don't have to "cancel" that account to let a family member have an account here mate, just follow Kel's advice and both you and your mom, or dad, or whoever will be fine ;)

    My advice find the member called Crazy_Rob run up to him on the street smack him a couple of times and see what you get for it. :D Why can't people read stickies anymore? In the sticky it states no name changes without good reason and the owner can not think of one good enough. In other words not going happen on the name change.

    Pm a mod and tell them what is going on and the username of the joining member. You can find them here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showgroups.php.

    It's okay to have multiple accounts with one username on DP as long as you inform the mods first that each of those usernames are for different individuals. It's a lot safer to contact them first.

    Not possible. You can't cancel your accout and you're not allowed to register a new one.
