Makuta DUSt Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I want to know. I checked the topic about it, and found no answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) It's a staff fad. They are occasionally perpetrated by the administration as a prank. Some members have joined in, but they'll have their names for much longer than we do.

Fantasia Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 From The New Q&A Compendium:Display Name:Here you can change your BZPower display name, your publicly visible username. This will not, however, change the name you use to log into the forums.The frequency with which you can change your display name depends on your member group. Regular members can change their name after ninety days; Premier Members can change it after forty-five days; Outstanding BZPower Citizens can change their display name after thirty days.As you can see, not everyone who changes their name must use it for ninety days.The staff here sometimes change their names this time of year as part of an April Fools Day joke. (Last year they all used Barbie names.)We'll have to wait and see if the staff have anything else in store for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Last year they all used Barbie names.)That's not exactly entirely true - staff name fads are independent of April Fools' Day pranks. avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Windrider- Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Staff members can't change their own names; we have to pester Black Six about it and it's really scary. (Is that in the Compendium? I might have to add that.) Sometimes he even changes our names without our asking to all these frightful things as a prank! It's dreadful, really.Well in any case, let's summarize the info in this topic nice and neatly:[*]Black Six has pranked the staff.[*]This prank is not related to April 1st.[*]Members can join in too, but have to change their names manually.[*]Members have to wait 90 days to change their names back, though.[*]Premier Members have to wait 45 days.[*]OBZPCs have to wait 30 days.[*]Schnittke makes the scariest music everQuestion answered, topic closed.
