Username Change unsuccessful...
 

Hi, I made my rx7club account back in 2010 when i started looking at rx7s, I purchased my first rotary a rx8 in 2011 and joined rx8club under the name EricB.
I would like if it is possible to change my name to EricB on rx7club to match.

I am not currently involved in any sales or anything like that either, just looking to sync names with both sites. Thanks Mar!

We certainly don't want an active member to have his feelings shattered, so here is how we will now proceed with such matters from this point on since I don't like the amount of 6 post or less accounts I have seen with join dates of 2003 to 2006 and no activity since 2005.

We're going to pursue this as if you are applying for an auto salvage title. You're laying claim to the screen name. For the website, I have to give the original owner of the screen name at least one chance to dispute your claim.

That person will have three weeks to dispute the claim by responding to a notice I will send to the original Email registered at the time they initially joined the website.

If they can't respond within the first two weeks, it could be they got a nice vacation going. I'm jealous.

If they can't respond by the final third week, to me, that's a member who simply isn't active enough, a doofus that doesn't care about the website, a possible scammer who got what they want and left or somebody who has moved backed to the piston world. Regardless, if they can't respond by three weeks, then either the Email address is now dead or illegitimate or the person truly doesn't care.

So we won't care either and you will get the old screen name. The clock for the older account owner begins tomorrow.

In the future, anyone wishing to pursue these kinds of actions will need to give me a link to the old account or your "salvage application" will not be considered.

Thanks again Mar, sorry for the months of miscommunication! :)

That is not going to work. Just not fair to the user. What if if he is a deployed soldier, or is on a african safari for 2 months and comes back and his account it gone. Not going to happen. In ericb's case he might be in a Coma.

so its been a month, whats the deal here?

We are NOT going to overwrite someone else's user name. Pick another, or be happy with what you have. I'll be happy to discuss this with you via PM.
