Mega Man name change event

The Mega Man name change event occurred on the 4th January 2008. It was originally between some friends for reasons unknown (some argue that it was a "MegaMan for Brawl" campaign while others say it was done purely for fun, then one by one, other members began naming themselves after different Mega Man characters, and putting the characters' sprites as their avatars.

With the name change system being what it is, all these name changes have become permanent. Many members weren't happy with the idea of the event. It is disputed whether or not the event was a fad, due to the permanent nature of the name changes.
