Updating one username is no sweat, but updating many usernames requires quite some time. You don't understand, that once even one name is modified, we have to use a tool to that updates every post, thread (etc) that uses a cached username.

As for the feature Death mentioned, about two seperate names. That is a feature in UBB, but it is not a feature in vBulletin.

It does confuse people, the instances where we do change names are where members are called by a different name, which is usually a variant of their original username (but is not always the case).

As for senior members getting more priviledges, I would suggest only extending more priviledges to veterans. Which, I would classify as people who existed on the OWF EzBoard. Which doesn't include myself, as I've never actually considered myself a veteran.
