I was wondering, since a user has already changed their name.. how you change your name XD. Sorry if it's a useless post.

::kisaki::
the only reason i'd switch is cause i chose my name when i was 13 [read as: I CANT STAND IT NOW]
I'll live though, its just a name. Some people here call me ruka anyways. Ruka is a name i go by in real life, I don't think it will be changing anytime soon, but with amatsu: The original name i chose was Dix Prince. Flowers PM'd me with a proposal to change it to avoid confusion with dix princesse. On the spot I when to a english -> japanese dictionary, and translated the words "heavenly" and "hell", it gave me Amatsu and Naraku, so I made my name Amatsu~Naraku. [I was obsessed with these: ~ back then]
...Then a long time later I asked to drop the ~Naraku. Most people called my amatsu anyways, so there was no confusion, and I guess shedding ~Naraku here was a way of trying to get rid of my past on scape [considering I've had two accounts, both of which, I used to post with bad grammar, dumbass typing, and blantenly dumb posts]
The reason I made this account was NOT cause I forgot about my old one like a claimed when I had the old one banned or whatever. I actually just hadn't been here in a while and wanted to start over. I think my old name was something to the effect of moi_dix_mois_devotedfan. oh yes it was [profile]
Anyways, I've had a weird history with scape. filled with LIES AND DECEPTION x] not really. but a little bit.
Amatsu, the word means "heavenly, imperial".
I never went by amatsu[~naraku] in real life. It wasnt even one of my 'username phases' I only used it here.
Those are the reasons for me wanting to change it. My name as ruka is far spred across the internet, and I like uniformity when it comes to how people know me on the internet.
Those reasons aside, It doesn't really matter. It was easy for me personally to start calling kazuo "Formless" but it's not like a talk to him outside the forums, so that might be why. x]
The problem with switching names is that not only are the archives of someones posts still quoted with their old name, but it can be really confusing. If someone was on hiatus from scape for a week or so, cause they had no internet or some other reason, I can easily imagine them being like "WHOSE FORMLESS AND HOW DOES HE ALREADY HAVE SO MANY POSTS?!" x] I'm sure Formless posted his namechange in the random thread, and since those arent saved, i bet it caused an even greater confusion...
also, I type a lot when I'm tired. Don't mind me. I might come back here tomorrow and be like "WTH?!" at this post. i've been typing for so long, it feels like i've just been repeating stuff x]
