The last time I was on a forum that did this, it a) required a mod to do it for you on request, and b) just about everyone had their list of previously used names in their signature. Honestly, I don't know if we need either of those; I feel the ability to just check the profile to find out who the user is works well enough. |

IIRC, there's something of a community standard concerning this. In short, if you change your name, you incorporate a bit of the name you're commonly known as into the new name, at least so you can pick out a similarity reading the name out loud. Example: Toast Teist The prime difference is an "ay" instead of an "oh" sound, so It's close enough. Alternatively, avatars and signatures are used as the primary mode of self representation and identification rather than usernames. It's common for users to change names and keep the same avatar/signature. So long as this agreeably loose standard is followed, we don't really have any issues with user identification.

Aye. There's a reason I always keep "Ruro" somewhere in my name, after all. BV |
