Outrageous Request

Message Bookmarked

Sorry, I tried starting a new account with a different email address but for some reason it didn't go through and really I'd rather just keep the email address I've been using.
BUT
I'd like to have my official username changed to "chinavision!" instead of "altair nouveau" (if I perform vanity "altair nouveau" searches I find my entries here and I'd rather not).

Is this even doable? Is it unreasonable? I hope not. This is the only time I plan on asking for something like this.

It's not impossible, but it's a lot of database work and means restarting the server.

If it's just the searches, could you not add "-site:ilxor.com" to the query?

Ah no prob I'll give starting a new account another whirl.
The search thing was if I do a google search for "altair nouveau" using recent results and I often end up seeing ilx stuff pop up, which I'd rather not have happen. Realized I should have chosen a different name basically.
New account time..
