Yeah, people can change their handle names. I thought it would be fun to allow it. What do others think? I can disable that if people don't want it.

I think it would be good to leave it in. His Holiness can once again become Uppili.

I think this is one of the things which can trigger psychotic behavior. The email id associated with profiles is invalid, so you cannot login if you forget your changed profile name. Also, can someone else claim artood2 while i remain R2D2? That would be chaotic.

I agree... and I am not sure if someone else CAN claim the name. Let me look into it. If it is possible for someone else to claim your earlier name, I will then disable the name-changing feature.

I don't see any good reason for the name-changing feature. Claiming someone's earlier ID is a real problem. That should be prevented.
