I would like to be able to change my username (nickname).

You guys complain all the time about how inconvenient it is NOT to be able to change a username on PSN but the IGN site is just as lame. Enable me to change my ID/username/nickname!!! Please.

My current user name is 'gamer4f43a6ffe4b09', as it was auto created when I used my Google account to sign up... it's not very memorable or personal, and I cant sign up for a new on as you can only use your email address once. (And I'm not making a new email account just for that.)
It would be nice to be able to change it to something better, ironically I was able to do just that for this little feedback forum thingy.

I don't see why a user shouldn't be allowed at least one name change. I could see it being a issue if it was unlimited as trolls could bring a new name every five minutes. But a legit username change for users that want a new name should be allowed at least once.

This seems to me like a basic functionality that all networks of this kind should have.

This is my biggest complaint with PSN. It would be greatly appreciated if you guys at IGN gave us this option.

I made my account a few years back thinking it looked cool. That was a few years ago. Now, it just looks stupid. I just want to change it once.

Really IGN, pulling a Sony on us? Well, at least Sony has a viable excuse. I feel it's a little assinine to not allow a name change on a site such as this.
