I think that Moderators, Admins, and Owners should be prohibited from changing user names. Just for continuity for the members. I really had to look and remember that "Blackhawk" was Anarchy was VoE... Same with Gen. Keeb's and Shorty. I'm glad Prime(suspect) decided to keep his...
The only thing I can see is enforcing the staff to change their "User Title" to their old user name to allow people to follow the transition. The other problem with user name changes.... Referring to old posts, people may see someone quote someone that doesn't seem to exist anymore...
Mr. Kwitko is excused from changing his name back because this handle is superior anyway.
I'm sure I confused a couple new members with my name switching, but the first time I made a post explaining it. The second time wasn't my fault Same goes for Dan, really. The second name change was more-or-less out of our hands.

But in a fight between General Keebler and Commander Taco, who would win? Just a deranged thought and possibly a deranged visual as well.

"Who's this Dan guy?" "Oh he's the owner and he is now called "Shorty", which is what he was called before...
Try searching for Virtues of Evil... lots of references to him but he's not there anymore...
Nuff ranting
Oh, and don't throw me in that there briar patch, neither.
...reverse psychology - gets 'em every time...
For the record, admin = owner anyway.
How about "That's Shorty's real name". I still call him 'Dan' in the forums a lot anyway...
