Assunto: name change

In a persons profile, it will show previous user names. Question: If I were to change my name, does that open up for someone to use my previous name? That is lets say I change my username to something that I only planned on using for a short time and planned to change back - could someone create a new account and "steal" my old name since I was not using it at the time? Or now that it saves it in the profile, do it also protect it?

BIG BAD WOLF: Yes, someone can create a new account and steal your old name. I don't recommend too many changes.

I see no reason for any changes anyway.

Assunto: Re: name change

Fencer: Well a couple of years ago, I would change my name for special occasions - like "BIG BAD SANTA" when it was around Christmas time and such - until a trouble-maker user decided to create a dummy account with my old name so I could not change back. Of course we got that fixed, but I have never changed my name since then - and was just wondering if this would fix that situation or not. O'well.

BIG BAD WOLF: How about a "long user name" (max. 255 characters) which would be shown as a tooltip over your "normal" name everywhere it appears?
