sorry. 'name change request' must be boring after you've seen it for a thousandth time. i don't suppose nicking an old user's name would be in order, would it? love the 'x' aesthetic, really, but i fancied being a regular ol' 'arabella'. however, during registration, i was met with a cry of "this name has been taken! another, please!". upon further inspection, [i]this[/i] arabella has a grand total of one post, dated three years ago. surely they won't mind if i take the name? cheers.
