If he hasn't been back in six years his membership may justifiably be revoked.
Problem is I don't know how the database would react to that, you could lose your post count and end up as him with just the one post.
We can try it and see but no guarantees are offered or implied. Customer services staff have all resigned.

I'm no expert, but if the original was deleted and then mine edited, shouldnt affect my post count or anything else. Been a while since i was admin on a forum!myglaren wrote:If he hasn't been back in six years his membership may justifiably be revoked.

Delete xantiaman completely and then rename Gareth's account to Xantiaman. Alternatively, rename xantiaman to something else and then rename Gareth's usermane to Xantiaman...
The act of deletion completely removes all trace of the user and any posts made by that user will appear to be from the user "guest"
Your post count and etc will be unaffected by a username change Gareth. Note that you will use your new name to log in after the change is made. so liaise with either Steve, Xac or I when you want the deed done...
Names are just for human convenience as far as the database is concerned. It does not actually use them. In the database we're all just numbers. We have no names
The number the database knows you as does not change even if you change your name.
