Want To Be Domestic, Not Imported

[alphadogg]

Username used to be "alphadog", now I am "imported_alphadog". Can someone please change it back? TIA.

There is a member who registered in August 2010 with the name Alphadog. Can't give it ,sorry.



edit:
Give me another name and I can change it.

So give him Domestic Alphadog, it's what he asked for.

Kind of surprised this is still happening. It seems like anyone with an imported username should just have been auto-converted instead of having to come and ask for it.

Just by a hair's breadth...

"alphadogg" or "alphadog###", where ### can be any number, would be fine.

That part's done. Now PM me with a change in email address.

Hi there.

Possible to lose the "imported" from my username as well? Maybe being a long-time registered lurker doesn't count for much, but would appreciate it nonetheless!

I'm just sort of curious as to why OP was not allowed to have his old name back if it was in fact his first registered name...

He likely wasn't using the account. I think the standard was a year, maybe two.
Also possible that back then, the software could tell the difference between A and a.
