It would be rather impractical.

How does this tie in to the discussion about changing your name on Scratch? Was that your old name on Scratch? Perhaps you can give us some more details.

i didn't changed my name. I downloaded my projects and told the scratch team to delete my account. they deleted it and I created a new account and shared my projects... neutral

That shouldn't make a difference. >.>
Well I am only going by what some other Scratcher said when this was suggested before

I'd have thought it would though. They'd have to change about 30000 items in the database for every user that changed their name.

Not if everything in the database was an ID instead of a username. Then there will be another database mapping IDs to the current username, the previous username, and the amount of time you've had the username for.

Maybe this is just me, but using valuable server power for something as insignificant as changing your username just seems wasteful. Instead, you can create a new account or simply spend more time thinking about how your username will reflect on you before creating it.

If the username is going to be unchangeable, however, it would be nice if people creating a new user would be informed that it is static.

It's not really using up server space, it just needs to change one value in a database

I agree about that last comment though, something like "Please be aware that you cannot change your username once you have signed up" on the registration page would be nice

You should only be allowed one name change.

Yeah it would take forever it could take weeks... months... maybe a year or two for every thing you've commented, loved, faved, tagged, uploaded, and posted on to be updated. Also, imagine people mentioning you, and newer Scratchers not knowing that you were once that user.

I do not support this idea, sorry
What,if the friend on him/her get a message with:(EXAMPLE)''sonkiu3 has changed his name to ''Appleguy''

YEAH IT WOULD BE AWESOME!

Nice idea, but according to ^^ the above replies, i guess it might be a little too complicated...
