I was never going to change my name anyway. Why would I want to? It's perfect!
I love my username, because nobody thought of it before I did.
It is unique.
I never really felt the need to change the username every month like some people do.
Sounds pretty good.

You won't here any complaints from me over a Username lock. I haven't changed mine since I started and I don't intend to. Its silly to change it everytime you feel like. in the "real word" you get a nickname and your stuck with it whether you like it or not.
NO!!!!!!!!! That will ruin step three and i will never become the most popular user ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :((((((9
If the username lockdown were to happen BEFORE 2007, half the Audio community would have christmas parodies of their names (SantaRider instead of SineRider, etc.) forever, cause it´s a damn audio trend now >:/ That would be hilarous.
But I don´t think anyone have said this in this thread before, you can have an alt keping your name if you don´t want your original stolen.
Shit I need to change my name to something better than something blue-block.
can we change names when its christmas because after christmas i'll be changing my name back to lock strawberry
i love bees

Seriously, get a better name.
And you have 404 posts ^__^

The lockdown will not happen until after the holidays, so for now you can still change your name to a holiday theme. HOWEVER, please be aware that some people have done just that and had their regular names taken by other users. As a result, my inbox is filled with the usual e-drama about, "Oh my god, someone stole my name!"
Somewhat big decision. I'm not really going to change my username so therefore it's probably not going to affect me in any ways. And yes, it's true many animators have had their user name stole before. Someone even hacked into someone else's account becaus it was left open, which they used to submit garbage under that particular username or delete his movies. Hopefully, this decision will solve that issue once and for all.
The deeper you delve, the more strategizing is involved.

Awesome, about 2 months away. :) Hopefully there won't be any more delays, although my main account won't reach level 16 before February 29th. :( But one of my alts will get to level 13 before the redesign. :)
I'm fine with a lockdown of the name. I only changed mine once since I got it.

I know NG is a HUGE site but how could it be mis-calculated by 3 and a half months (hope thats right)? It also sounded a lot like the new layout would be released at Christmas or New Year when I read that news post.
Read through it again and you'll see!

Yay, username lockdown. Me and my main have the best usernames anyway.

i'm so not digging this lockdown of my online identity ):
but i think the idea of having a username and a display name is totally groovy. although i guess that, with the people who would imitate one's username, it could cause problems.
oh well. it's not like my opinion matters, anyway. nobody will read this. whatever.

Wow, this is surprising...
I really don't care if you guys lockdown the names, because I have a backup. i use it on other sites.
