Allow basic or ($5 donor users 1 time name change

[Moo]

I signed up to MCM I want to say 5 or so months ago as my 'at that time main' account Moo. I was active on the forums selling accounts and just communicating with the other members.

As of a couple days/weeks ago I sold Moo and now I am left with the username Moo here on MCM as well until I donate for a premium rank.

Now, I do understand that there seems to be very little you can do to reel people in and convince them to donate/support the forums. I get that, which is why I have suggested that basic members, or at least those who have donated in some manner (colored names) have the ability to change their forums account name one time. Just once.

I think a handful of users would highly enjoy this option.
Due to them only being able to change their username once until donating for an actual forum rank, it still gives people a reason to donate.
I also feel that if basic users have a one time name change, that it would not be a problem if the username is changed for the wrong reasons due to users being able to see username history on that given persons profile.

I honestly am just a broke bitch with medical bills that want's to get rid of her forum account username due to no longer being associated with the account moo. My selfish reasons aside, I am still a loyal user of MCM and I do fully believe that a one time name change for everyone, or at least someone who donates the minimum $5 colored name, would be loved among many.

i think your name is great

x3 Thanks love.
However I honestly just don't want to be associated with 'Moo' any longer due to selling the account.. but I'm incredibly poor as well. XD

wouldn't be a good business strategy

Allowing one name change versus getting unlimited name changes from a donation rank barely changes a thing.
Thus is why I stated in my original post, that although allowing basic users a one time name change free of charge,
donations give them the benefit still of having unlimited name changes.

Now, if you feel that that's still to 'risky', then I would highly suggest them making it to where if you spend the $5
needed to get a name color change, then you also get a 1x name change per color purchased, etc.

In the end it barely changes a thing and they still have key points that they need to obtain donators.
Not to mention if they choose to go the route of giving name changes to people who donate for colored names, it would thus
make colored usernames more valuable and more desirable. In the end there's a higher chance that more units would be sold.

that's not how it works, it's a donator feature... choose the right name from the start?

I honestly should have considered it more, However, the thing is I joined this website at first to only sell the accounts I had and leave. So I originally signed up with my main OG account name 'Moo'. After being around and actually participating in conversations and such I have grown to really appreciate the MCM community and decided to stay for the long run. I feel like this is what a lot of people may go through.

"That's not how it works, its a donor feature".
Exactly why I suggested making it a feature of the colored names. It not only raises their value, but may further convince users to purchase the colored names and more of them.

hm?
