Yes but Alcar eventually it will get to a point when there are *no* OW terminology usernames available at all. And that would mean there would be less "oddworld" about the forums. Now I seem to remember you being strongly in favour of keeping the "oddworld" going around here.
Ooooo, I applaud thee, Death. You cunning bastich

As I said earlier, I'm heading in the direction of what Mac the Janitor suggested. If a member wants a particular username, they can email moi, and tell me. I'll then proceed to modify the username of the existing member.

But I wouldn't want to do that very often, as it's exactly the same as changing a name, meaning several entire database tables need to be updated just for one username modification.

However, one point springs to mind. What exactly will I change the name to, of the existing member?
