Ever wondered why Name Changing is such a bad idea? Well you came to the right place!

The reason why name changing is a bad idea is because, a bad dude can go on a run and hide his/her identity by changing his/her name. Unless they add a list of previous alias on their profile. There still is a problem, people can use other people's previous alias. If they cant, like let's say. Other people can't use people's previous alias or current alias. Whatever. Then there will be names run out for new users joining ROBLOX. Since we already crushed new users' desire by changing the new clothing update. We shouldn't add another harsh thing.

You might say. This is easy for me to say. Since I'm "Crook". Well the answer is "ye its easy for me to say".

Anyway, if you thought this was a good idea, you can just forget about everything that happened today.

Thanks, Crook

agreed bad idea ,macsers would just change there name once they become too known,unless roblox has a previous name history button like ebay has so people can see any other names the person has used .

This is the worst idea of a bad idea I have ever seen. They'll just do it like Deviantart, where your previous username links to your new one.

Well the fact when you change your name, your old one is available, you're not actually effecting the amount of possible usernames.

Also, some people who are friends with you won't recognize you because your name is changed.

Also, you DID hear that name changing is a requirement of R$?
Not everyone can just go and change their name whenever.

@Galaxseeds I didn't hear about it, but I read about it. Also is this bribing to change your name?

I'm kinda in the middle here as well galaxseed. But I was really looking towards to changing my name. I see there are good and bad reasons why should change our name! There will no limit to names as giant said once we change our name our your old username is available.

@day ROBLOX should send your friends a PM stating "Your friend has recently changed his or her username."

@crook ROBLOX will send the PM to your friend. Even if your friends turn there PM's off they'll still get a ROBLOX system message.
