Honestly, I don't think stopping people from changing their forum names is a good idea, as sometimes people just want a little change in their lives... But there should at least be an option that allows you to view someone's previous nicknames (unless they block it in privacy settings). You can figure out who's who through searching older posts, but... Ugh, is it annoying to do so...
and by that I mean mostly Blood Bringer (A Universal Devourer as far as I can trace), Tornicus(Maaaaaaaaango), poptarts(yoop90), Dark Sunshine (Dragonfirestaken), and Azzouru(Kitnight). They feels like a completely different person after the name change!
Well, that's because... People do change. I also didn't have Magicasquirrel as my nickname for my entire life, but I did find and stick with it eventually. The others change their names because they themselves change, even if just a little bit, and a new name perhaps helps them feel like it.
I don’t see anything wrong with changing your name, this is far from the only username I use and I have changed usernames on different websites times in the past. I just wish that if the names weren’t similar, they would tell people who they are.
