We need to necro the name change thread. I know there's a few people who haven't added their change to it. Like, remember Norman Humann? Did she change her name or disappear? She reminds me of Vic and a few other newbies, so I'm inclined to think she's one of them. There are a few other "noobs" that I'm convinced are older members with new names.
No I don't remember her, must have been during one of my many off periods.
And yes that thread desperately needs to come back, I wouldn't be bothered by name changes so much if I could keep cocking track of who everybody was. Different name, different profile, different sig, but two plus years and 5000+ posts under their belt. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!?! Then I have to go searching through their old posts to find a quote sporting their old username.

If you click on a user's name, it brings up the person's profile. If there has ever been a name change, it appears in the list of things under their name on their profile page. It tells you how many name changes the person has had, and if you click on the number of name changes, you are redirected to a page that lists all of their old names.
If you try it with me, you will see nothing along those lines, because I have not changed my name. But, since he has wandered into this thread, I will use Whateverist the White as an example.
Here is his profile page:
http://atheistforums.org/user-2104.html
If you look in the column of information under his name, it will tell you:
Username Changes: 1
If on that page, you click on the "1", it will take you to a page with his old username.
