    Either way you can't do it.

    Lots of people want to do the same thing. Have a look through the suggestions and feedback section.

    I got lucky, I asked for a name change about a week before they decided not to allow it anymore.

    No accounts can be deleted either. :(

    No, its not databases alone.

    For any forums which require financial transactions between fellow members, its common sense that if a guy wants to scam tonnes of people he'll just have to change his username and thats it - he can be MIA for as long as he pleases.

    This would result in more scam incidents.

    As far as the Database is concerned...it is a very trivial thing for the database admin to change the username of a guy.

    What's in a name, mate?
    Nothing.
    People here not looking at ur name but what you write, what you post or maybe what you want to buy/sell.
