That unfortunately is not possible. You cannot change screen names, delete a current account for a new one, etc. Our system checks for duplicate IP addresses and the new account would never be activated. Not to mention that even if our system allowed duplicate screennames per IP, or allowed us to change users screennames, people would most certainly abuse the privilege. Members would start taunting each other under faux screennames, we moderators would spend all our time switching out screennames, etc. Not being able to change your screenname is also about personal responsibility: stand behind what you do & say. If you can't stand behind your actions, don't do them in the first place.
