Xbox is making me change my Gamertag.

So a while ago I made an xbox live account just to mess around on, not a serious account to get achievments or anything. The account name was PORKMONKEY69. I made it around late January, Early February. So about two weeks ago I got disconnected from xbox live and it wouldn't let me sign in until I changed my gamertag. Now, I piss ALOT of people off on xbox live (team killing and things like that) so I figured that people were filing name complaints to get back at me, so I didn't think anything of it. So I changed it to PORKMONKEE69 with two "e"s instead of"ey". Everything was fine until today. The same thing happened, I got disconnected and I had to change my name again. This time we called xbox to ask them why we kept having to change it because our name doesn't violate any rules but we keep having to change it. So after alot of bs, the guy basically said that the system scanned through our name and it must have read the "69" at the end of the gamertag and said "DO NOT WANT" and made us change it again. He said that we can have the same name because there is nothing wrong with it, just take the 69 off. I had no problem with that (even though 69 is just a number like 12 or 55.) I changed it to P0RK M0NKEY and all was fine. So about 10 minutes ago, I get the SAME message. I can't sign in until I change it. I am so pissed off right now. What the hell should I do? Porkmonkey is apparantly against the rules for whatever reason and I really don't want to change it but that looks like what I am going to have to do. What do you guys think?

If you do i'll marry you over the internet.

In all seriousness, just make it your scorehero account if you want. Or a song you like. Whatever you want. I still like SunnyRainbowkitty.. That would make people think you are homosexual just because people on xbox are douchebags and think those things. Which always entertains me.

Also this would probably be better suited in Gaming discussion. You know.. Gamertag. Gaming Discussion. >_>

So did you have to pay every time you changed your Gamertag? Also just to confirm, all your achievements/saved game data from your old Gamertag is on your new Gamertag, correct?

Like most things microsoft comes up with/ makes, their language censoring is laughable. My friend wasn't allowed to put the word "spike" or "blizzard" in his motto, or halo 3 video description. Also, why would 69 be bad, it's just another number. God, microsoft really needs to realize all these mistakes. But judging by their 36o failure rate, and computer inferiority, they will never realize them.

Yea man I know Exactly what your going through. They made me change mine 4 times. It went from TEABAGGINDRAGON to T3ABAG1NDRAGON to TBAG1NDRAGON and know I joined a clan right when I got my name changed. So trust me I know how it feels.

Having seen Clerks 2, the only logical explanation I can give you, is that it ressembles the racial slur "porchmonkey" too much. Could be another reason though. Don't have an 360 so I wouldn't know.
