Hey how you doing?

hi i like your art you r realy good with perisma

It's amazing what a non-management level job at an ordinary retail store teaches you about stress management.

We have only four administrators: cstdenis, Battou, unfocused, and myself. And we each have our critics....

I've never had much of a problem with dA's admins, but I don't actually know them so I have no experience on the matter to speak from.

No, I do not have a "persona" character.

oh ok :/ is there any chance you will put in a feture like that and if not, please tell why.

Well, internally we use a unique numeric ID to identify each user (yours would be #94352). So if we changed your username this would not affect, say, whether you're acknkowledged as the owner of your submissions, who your Favorite artists (or Fans) are, who'se blocked you, etc.

However, the actual image files your submitted are are stored according to your actual username, and THAT would be critically affected if you changed it. All your submissions would suddenly appear broken and have to be re-uploaded.

That's really the only major technical hurdle. Aside from that the reason we don't already allow username changes is that it could be easily abused; say Alice changes her username to Bob, but then Charlie changes his username to Alice. See the problem? We would need some measure to prevent the "old" username from being hijacked by someone else after a switch.

But that creates another problem: say that Diego registers an account, then decides to change his name to Ernie, then Ferdinand, then George, then Harley. All those usernames have now been 'taken', which blocks the real Ferdinand, George, and Harley from registering their names.

These are both serious problems that could be easily abused. If we implemented the ability to change usernames, it would have to be an administrative level power to prevent abuse.

well its ok if my ipod hacks ur site ? if i do its not myfalt ok so not bannd me plz

Error messages, please copy/paste any and all error messages you receive when filing a report.

Hmm... it appears that for your forum privileges were disabled by site staff at some point. I haven't found any stated reason why, so I've reset them to normal.
