Did you get my e-mail about my name change? I sent it on Thursday from a yahoo! account, and then again yesterday since I was out of town all weekend. I’m just getting worried you’re not getting them! ---

Just fire one off to one of the other admins. He/she could be off for a couple of days. When I embarked on the name change journey I had to enlinst the help of a second admin also. Give it a shot. I think it was Dexter that helped me out pronto. Also, put in the subject line of the e-mail “Straightdope” if you want better results. ---

What are you changing your name to? I’ve got dibs on Elenia29 for my name change. ---

> [@Chairman Pow](#): > > What are you changing your name to? I’ve got dibs on Elenia29 for my name change. Hey! No…not changing it to Elenia anything. You’ll see when it’s time. Why spoil the surprise? Ok I’ve e-mailed TubaDiva as it says below, and yesterday I e-mailed Coldfire, predominantly cause he’s the mod of MPSIMS and that’s mostly where I hang out. ---

Mods can’t do name changes, only admins can. ---

> [@Lynn Bodoni](#): > > Mods can’t do name changes, only admins can. Sigh…off to e-mail an admin. But I don’t even know if the other two got my e-mails, as they never answered. _bangs head on desk_
