Name Changes...

[COLOR=green]Is there a way one can track member name changes? [/COLOR]

[color=midnightblue]Well, oftentimes when somebody changes their name they will have it in their signature.. For example, Chou Long Kai changed to Kazuko a month or two ago and had "I was once Chou Long Kai.. Now I am Kazuko!" in his signature for a while to let it become commonly known who he was.

Also, if the person whose name changed is on your OtakuBoards buddy list, their name will automatically switch to what it is now. But it doesn't really tell you that their name was changed.

I'm pretty sure those are the only ways you can find out (other than simply asking them), but I could be wrong.[/color]

I think that when your name is changed, you have to put some sort of reminder in your signature for about a month or so.

For example, James changed my name and placed a little part in my signature that my old name was mirai_torankusu. I kept it in there for about a month or so and then deleted it.

Whether or not people actually take that rule to heart is something I'm not aware of. However, that's how it's supposed to be.

Yes, that's still how I do things.
