Changing DP username

    Hey, I really want to change my username but as far as I can see that's not possible. If I do need to create an account can my "No of Posts" and "reputation" etc, carry over into the new account?

    Cheers.

    If you read the FAQs, they don't allow name changes.

    mainly because the database is huge and a lot of load would have to be put on the database to make the changes.

    I don't think the latter could be arranged either.

    If you want to change your username then it need to have a *very* good reason to do so.

    You can't have a new username.

    And you can't have a new account.

    Read the rules.

    And read the Stickies.

    Haha, noooo.

    Nah, the reason is because "webs" is my nickname and the name I used before I started blogging, but now I go under the alias of Spanish Fry. It would've been nice to keep that alias over all mediums, but I guess I'll just have to cope.

    I know I'm being lazy asking this, but am I allowed to delete this account and start a new one?? I haven't earned overly a lot of reputation and am relatively new so I haven't got much to lose.
