Over the next few days (beginning today) we will be updating ALL site usernames which do not match their connected IGN.
We will be converting all site usernames to match the Minecraft username attached to that account (IGN). This is to make our membership application system much simpler and also removes any confusion people may have regarding site accounts and Minecraft connections. We will then begin to phase out the use of IGNs and use only the site usernames. It makes it all much simpler to understand.
All of those who are effected by this change will receive an email about your username change as we go through our list; it will mean that you will need to update your account password. (you can keep it the same, just the system needs to update it's encryption of your password with the new username)
Once the change has taken place to you, you will then need to login to this site using the new username (which was previously your IGN).
If you believe that you have NOT set a valid, accessible email to your account you MUST set a valid one as soon as possible as you will be unable to login once this change happens as your username and password may both become invalid and the new, valid information will not reach you.
Some questions you may have:
- Will I still keep my VIP/Veteran status?
Yes, these are currently both connected to your IGN and not your username and so will not be affected.
- What username should I login with?
Until you receive an email about your changed username you should continue to login using the username you currently have. Once you have received the email and you have changed your password you should use your new username, which should be your current IGN.
- Will everyone be affected?
No. A large number of users will not have to have their username changed. Any who do will receive an email with their changed information over the next few weeks.
- Do I need to do anything about changing my username?
Other than responding to the actions requested on the email; no. You could however post your username and IGN name below, if they do not match, as it will allow me to prioritise the more active accounts.
- My username and IGN already match what do I do?
Nothing, just sit back and play on Noobstown.com
- When will these changes take place?
Whilst I cannot be certain of the exact date that this will all be finished, the changeover shouldn't take more than a few weeks.
If you have any other questions please do feel free to post them below, I will be sure to answer all ones I can.

Username: JamesMcC IGN: Jayjay36
I think this is great that you're doing this with the names because I had my username changed to Jayjay36 so people knew who I was when I was posting, but It got changed back recently alongside other members :P I'd prefer my IGN anyway so I'm glad this name changing is happening ;)
[EDIT]: Thanks for the fast change in my username ;)

UPDATE:
All users should now have a username which matches their IGN or, will have been contacted by me to sort this out. Thanks to all the support I received upon contacting some of you ;).
If you don't believe your username matches your IGN (and I haven't PMed you) please feel to PM me.
More information about the exact reasoning behind this change will be released soon! :).
Thanks.
