In summary, to change your username on the forum, you will need to send a Private Message to Greg Bernhardt and be patient as it may take some time for him to respond. If you have not received a response after some time, you can send a reminder to Greg or try PMing chroot instead.

You'll need to send a Private Message to Greg Bernhardt requesting a name change. He's the only one who can do that. If you do send the PM, please be patient...it can take a while for him to get to all his messages and act on them.

I sent a PM to Greg back in Nov.

This is a very simple request, and Greg has made a number of posts to various forums since I sent my original PM. What is the hold up here? It should take no more than 5 minutes...

Greg receives many PM's each day, it's quite possible that your request simply slipped through the net. However, if nothings happened by the close of business today, I'll PM him with a little reminder for you.

Thanks. Did you send this PM? With the new year, I'd like to take care of this.

Greg is away on vacation. I suggest you pm chroot. Greg has had an awful lot on his plate the last couple of months.
