The answer is so obvious I'm not even going to say it. Plus I said that slightly sarcastically.

Well, it's a good idea, but you know it'll just be used only in a way that will make it a chore rather than a blessing. Just like admin made name changes were eventually used for all kinds of lameness.

Thank goodness the feature is off by default so I can let other people have their fun and not be bothered by it myself.

How do you people feel about removing the asterisk and instead making the custom display names appear in white?

If you took it down, it'd be just like having a theme week! And the shenanigans would be NON STOP HILARITY.

Edit:

Sup Blah posting at the same time. <33333

I'm all for that. Heck, I'd be even more for leaving it exactly like a regular name, but if you feel the need to have it displayed differently in some way, colour seems the best way to do it!

Hmm, white seems a bit too close to the light blue it is now.

What about yellow?

Gee, thanks a lot. Maybe white would work nicely? Hell, it'd be better than this yellow.

Hahaha, this is so awesome. I feel so anonymous.

I think we need a feature which allows you to choose whether or not you want the "Last edited by Elixir on 6/6/06" message displaying. I find it quite annoying sometimes.

I don't think the display name thing is working for me. Everyone has their normal names for me.

Try going to your profile and save the settings once?

Edit: Original usernames now show up as tooltips on avatars too, just to circumvent empty display names
