Also, is there any reason that you would disagree with using monaco.css to create the illusion that I got my account ''renamed''? For the reason, you can read through my userpage, which I recently rewrote from scratch. I went to a forum and asked how I would do it, and apparently ''you would need to hide the content of the link (via display:none), and then use the :after psuedo-element along with the content: property to display the new text''. I wanted to test it all out in my MediaWiki setup in my localhost, which I use for a number of purposes, but mostly for my own education of the wiki software (I don't know if I've ever mentioned that to you?). But it showed that my biggest weakness with computers is programming languages. So anyway, would you have a problem with that? (I don't want to just change my signature because that wouldn't work for history pages/recent changes). You could also use it for [[User:GTA4PC|GTA4PC]] (who doesn't seem to want to just make a new account, and either do I for a number of reasons). I already own [[User:JFletcher|the account]] that I would use as my name (so that I can't be seen as trying to be an impostor of someone). Thanks!

:Hey, thanks for the message. There's a difference between "inactive" (like Eganio) and "not here" (like you and BloodyGTA). In the latter, you still intend to return at some point. A lot of people are busy at this time of year with exams etc, which is not a problem. You do what you ''need'' to do, '''then''' do what you ''can'' do. As for renaming accounts, let me know you want to merge it with, and I'll chase this up with staff. Faking a username would make it harder for you to be found/tracked/contacted, considering (for example) people would type in your fake name into various special pages and it wouldn't work. I'll do what I can to get it actually changed. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 15:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
