I just wanted to change my name (therealsnafu) to a new one. Is there an admin a way to do this? Or should I just delete my account and make a new one.

Thanks for any advice :)
 
They'll just tell you to make a new account... only thing you can do. Not a big deal either since you have only 5 posts. Also you can't "delete" your account... you just stop using the old one.
 
For others with the same question, here is the answer from the BL FAQ.

How do I change my Screen Name (SN), Login Name, User ID, or Email?

By TheLoveBandit

When you register, you create your Screen Name (SN), which is also refrered to as a Login Name or User ID. At the time you create this you are deciding what name all the other members will know you as and how they will refer to you. If you later decide you would like to change this name you will need to re-register with a new account.

If you choose to register a new name, you should abandon the earlier login name as per the Bluelight User Agreement (BLUA) which prohibits multiple login names (aka alter-egos). Do not register a second account just to harass another member.

If you want to use the exact same email address for your next account, you will have to edit the profile of the old account. The system is dependent on one email address per SN. Go to "User CP" at the top, then click the tab for "EDIT PROFILE" and change that email address to a less used email address (you might even use a bogus address, since you won't need that account anymore). Then you can use your preferred email address when registering the new account.

If you need to change your email address, just follow the procedure outlined above. The system will send an email to the new account to let you know that it was changed.
