Hey, um, Lightspeed2011 here. I want to change my name to “Lightspeed Games” but don't know how. Can I get some help?

 
when green flag clicked
if <(username) = <not <Lightspeed Games>>> then
set [ username] to [Lightspeed Games]

end

Make a new account unless your username contains personal info, or inappropriate content.

You can't change your username to something with a space in it. It would have to be something like “LightspeedGames.”

You can't change your username unless it has either personal information or an inappropriate word. You can just make a new account.

You can't change your username. If you REALLY want another username, you've gotta make a new account. Sorry, man.

According to https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Is_it_possible_to_change_a_username%3F:

No. The only way to change a username is to create an entirely new account, but please note that data such as projects, studios, followers, and forum posts will not be transferred.

It is possible, but uncommon, that the Scratch Team may make an exception upon request for usernames that reveal personal information or cause gender dysphoria, and in general this only will be done for well-established Scratchers. The Scratch Team will then transfer all projects, loves, favorites, and other information to a new account with a different username.

The practice of creating a new account in order to obtain a new username is known as “account moving”. One can remix all their previous projects and invite the new account to all the previous studios and then promote it to manager in all of them. This will move almost all of what was on the old account, although the project and account statistics and followers will be lost. One will still have to get the Scratcher rank for the new account, though, which can interfere with moving projects with cloud variables and prevent transferring host status for studios.

The idea of users being able to change their usernames has been suggested and declined many times as it would cause a lot of confusion about who is whom. As a result, changing usernames is on the official list of rejected suggestions. However, changing the cases of letters in one's username is not rejected but also has not been implemented.

Also, with similar information, according to https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Username:

Usernames cannot be changed. This has been asked about, suggested, and declined multiple times due to limitations of software architecture, possible confusion if others fail to recognize a user after a name change, and potential to cause server crashing.

The only way to get a new username is to create a new account. Projects on an old account can be transferred to the new one through downloading and uploading, at the cost of losing all statistics like loves and favorites. It is common for users to direct users in places such as their profile and forum signatures to state that they have moved accounts. The new account will also have to regain the Scratcher rank to regain access to features like cloud variables.

Exceptions:
In extremely rare cases, the Scratch Team has “changed” a couple of usernames in the past (by creating a new account and transferring projects over with their statistics); however, they only do so if the username contains personal information or causes gender dysphoria.

sorry you can't

I have an idea! You can make a new account, but the new username you want can’t have spaces. So maybe do this instead: Lightspeed_Games. That is the closest thing to what you want. If you don’t want to make a new account because of your projects that you did on the old account, you can move the! Click “see inside” of the project you want to move to the new account, and then press “files”. Then when a list of options come up, you press “save to your computer”. Then move onto the new account, create a new project and click on “files” again. Then when the options come up again, press “load to your computer “. Then you have officially moved your project to a different account! I hope this helps you, and you can repeat the process any time! Please follow my account if possible too. !
