Is there any chance I can change my display name to the name of a long gone member?

Hi

When I registered someone had already taken the nickname I wanted to use which was "brain".

The problem is that the person having that nickname registered about ten years ago if not more and hasnt ever posted never mind logged in for a decade.

Is there any chance an admin or mod could delete or rename the old idler account so I can take up that nickname as it is what I am known as in many other communities, or would that be against some rule somewhere?

Note I don't intend to impersonate the old user, I have no idea who it was.

Thanks!

Can you point me to the profile you're talking about? If it's an inactive user then we can make the change.

Hi,

Here is the old profile:

http://www.gamedev.net/user/9745-brain/

It's been idle since 2000, with one post only. Thanks for the help!

Oooh, if this is an option I would also like to request the same thing:

I would like my display name to be Lactose (that is, same as now, but without the exclamation mark).

Old profile which seems to have been abandoned ages ago: http://www.gamedev.net/user/29634-lactose/

I was going to change yours for you but realized you might not be able to login. :) Anyway, go for it if you want that name.

I'm not going to make this a regular thing, but while I was in there for brain I freed up Lactose for you to take.

I have got to make a point of reading more carefully. For some reason, all this time I thought your name was "Branding Tails". :)
