Username legend

I think it would be nice to have a custom username that could override your official username. What would happen is that whereever your temp name would be displayed you'd have a dot or something to indicate that it's a custom username and if you hovered over it with the mouse or clicked it, it would show the official username.

Here let me show you:





What do you guys think?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

While I wouldn't enjoy an MSN style of constant name changes, I'd think people would have some self control. And this way if they had a custom username they'd still be able to login with their official username and admins wouldn't have to change names back and forth all the time. Like blah said, if we lose track of people somehow through this as if avatars, sigs, writing styles, and keeping in touch with members don't allow us to tell members with new names apart then they're probably not worth your concern anyway.

So blah, would this be possible? It certainly would relieve admins from having to do a ton of name changes, theme weeks would have the custom username option for fun times, and it would be much easier to keep track of who is who.

Also, wouldn't it be hilarious to go into a thread where everyone has their custom username as Tails? ='D

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well if someone abused it we could always just take the privilege away or something.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
