Okay, what is a .tld? I looked it up on Wiki and still don't undertand what you mean. Do you mean no one should have a username like mysite.com or mysite.net? I don't think that should be allowed either because it's cheesy. They should adopt the same practice at vb.com.

Thanks for that.

I just had mine changed.

Worried, just pm the admin if you would like your username to be changed.

It means your name must not contain your domain name. TDL meaing .com or .org ect. (I think)

tld = top-level domain

So what led to the change in policy? Just curious from an admin standpoint. A lot of boards allow it, but I've always been strict about name changes on my forum whereas I'm pretty loose about most everything else.

Username History
Loco.M -> Brandon Sheley

I think he has it setup for 3 months

Anyways, this might help those trying to hide from a scam or something by changing their names.
