Please restore @A_Unique_Nickname to @Trev_whatevernumbernow

It's causing me some imbalance in the meantime.

Endlame is thinking of adopting the now unregistered @trev33 just to annoy him. I approve of this skullduggery, and he should adopt his old avatar to really ruffle with the fabric of pawntime.

I would like to see ExecutionerBrand rebranded in all future incarnations, recidivist-v2.1, recidivist-v2.2, etc.

IMHO the ability to change usernames, without a legitimate need to do so, was an "improvement" that should never have been made. Harassment, unacceptable use of an existing name, or unintentional revealing of real name should be the only valid reasons for a name change and each proposal should need individual approval.

Sorry Russ. I generally welcome changes but not name-changing (or thumbs).

I'm sure it was put in place so admins wouldn't have to be bothered with requests for a change of name.

Chess is more popular than ever so imagine getting to work and you have to fix or change new usernames every day.

That would get old quick.

Also, the Facebook/Google/whatever link uses your name as the username so people have the option to change it on their own.

I just changed mine recently.
I'd have to wait a year and that name sucks.
