How do I change my username?

[ShenshuaiOne]

I don't like the meaningless username I chose at the beginning of this year. I'd like to change it. Can someone send me a PM with the instructions, or do I have to delete this user account, start a new one and go from there? If so, how do I delete my account. And how long do I have to wait before I can reopen a new account on NG? Is there a probationary period? Also, how do I migrate my favorites list from this current account to the new one?

If you are knowledgeable in this regard, please reply. Thank you.

P.S. I had to break my little forum fast for this post. Sorry if you were offended or surprised in any way by my sudden, unannounced appearance (I promised I stay off for a year, but I didn't). Truly apologetic I am.

You can PM Wade and ask for a name change.
Be sure to put "Newgrounds Help" in the title of the PM or else Wade will delete it without even reading it.
It's very unlikely that he will change it for you, though. So, I would suggest either sticking with this username or to create a new account.

Also, you can't delete your own account, if you want to sign up with the same email adress, simply change the adress of your current account to gibberush (doesn't have to be a real e-mail adress) and then create a new account.

Also also, there's no "time limit" for creating new accounts.

Impossible. You may not change your user name, you may not delete your own account. That is only done by Admins and Mods under special circumstances. Either forget this one ever existed and create another one, or learn to live with the username you chose.

Actually I figure I want to sign up with a different email, since the one I signed up for is getting gutted with spam and I'm trying to distance myself from that account...

Small correction. Mods CAN NOT delete accounts.
