Okay that took like 2 hours but I am finished. Most requests were fulfilled, the ones that weren't are listed with an X and a reason. If your name wasn't changed and you want to try again leave another request and I will check back tomorrow. After that I will not be changing any more names. Also some people requested a name that was already taken but I changed them anyway if the account had a certain inactivity to it. Reasons are also listed for these users.

Quote from Sevarus
also will these be our new logins?

Yes, from now on you must log in with Sevarus instead of lewislewis

Quote from GMR
Oh yeah, in regards to the new forum, I wonder if we'll keep our old join dates/post counts or naw.

Yes, your existing information will be saved. We're porting the user database directly to avoid such loss.

Quote from Hewitt
Wait so, when the new site comes, will we be able to change our names freely anyway? Is that what's going to be implemented?

Probably something like that. I don't want to say for sure in case there ends up being a reason we shouldn't do that, but something simple like that would be ideal in my opinion.

Quote from Hewitt
Also, if a name already exists but that user hasn't posted in ever (circa Merge), could you still change to that name?

The only time when I will change an existing account is if they meet 2 or more inactivity criteria. I look at post count, last login date, and confirmed email. The only reason I don't want to alter existing accounts is because I don't think it's fair to anyone who has used their account in case they later try to get back in. I've tried this before on a forum that deleted my account for not posting and it was annoying.

Quote from Vorpal
New name: Vorpal

Also where can I see the new sites color scheme? I would like to know so I can start working on my new set.

Here is the current working draft for the color scheme. This could be subject to change but any change will likely just be to the tertiary colors.

Color Scheme (Click to Show)

Also it's worth noting that the new site will actually dynamically generate a color scheme for certain areas based off your cover image or other media. Here are a few examples if you want to see to prepare:

I like the rounded avatar, it's nice. The current colour schemes are nice too, I like that there's not just one or two options.

If I could still change my name, I'd either go with Marcy or Mewn if it's already taken.

Errr... I am not seeing it... and I don't see it in your comment history either. I also don't see it when I'm signed out. Can you link me to your post? If you click the number in the top right it will give you a direct link.

This is all I see under Drone's comment:
