I was looking to get my username changed. I did a search that said to PM robin. I did that December 5th, but haven't received a response yet.
Is that still the recommended method?
Moderator note:
Pinside+ members can now update their username by themselves at the top of the settings page in your profile: https://pinside.com/pinball/my-pinside/settings - Other Pinside members can request a name change by PM'ing robin
You must fly in to Pinside HQ for a retina scan , thumb print & cavity search to get the proper clearance .
Quoted from TimeBandit:couldn't you start a new account?
probably doesn't want to lose all of the karma collected

Not to mention the reviews and IM history.
Quoted from John_I:I've tried a while back and no response. Maybe it helps if you donate?
Nope, same thing here, no biggie.
Woah, I just read this thread and I can't believe I have been missing (or accidentally ignoring) so many PM's! That's definitely not right!
Please know that I currently get around 10-20 Pinside related e-mails daily, and I also have a live "offline". That's no excuse but it may explain why I missed your message. Sometimes I read these on my phone, then "mark as unread" to deal with later.
Anyways, I'm gonna try to find and answer to your PM's, or just to be safe you could try and PM me again.
Sorry about this!
Robin
yep, same thing, when I signed up I wanted to change my name, couldn't figure it out and never got a reply. I'm hoping Robin can make it so it can be changed easily in account settings or something.
Quoted from John_I:I've tried a while back and no response. Maybe it helps if you donate?
Yes, if you donate a large enough sum that sure would draw attention! No seriously, I make no distinction between donating and non donating users. I have stated this several times in the past years. Pinside is independent and donating will not make me treat you differently in any way. Having said that, your donations keep this site running so they sure are appreciated!
On topic though, PT, I can't find a message from you anywhere, please re-send your request. Sorry!
Quoted from t2:I p.m.ed Robin months ago about this very same thing and have never heard back.
Cannot find your PM either? Hmm, this is weird. Is the PM still in your PinsideMail box?
Thanks!! No more PT. Back in the day nine years ago I was PT because I worked on Titan rocket therefore Pinball Titan or PT. Problem is everyone associated me with that terrible car because of the PT. Anyway, I have been simply John I for a long time in all of the forums I frequent, so it is nice to have the same name here.
