But some of who I know preferred not be known anymore by previous forum name, then why keep making those posts, you should respect there wishes with this.... let say some have some issues with scams or whatever, then why keep connecting unnecessarily dots?
What harm does publishing that info do to anyone? Your old username is all over the place in every old quote etc. If you want a clean start create a new account.
I'm not only speaking for myself, I have noticed name changes and people didn't post for months anymore.... then take back where they left.
As for me for example if i'm have been in any kind of weird situation, but I know there could be a problem... changed name cause of good reason... writes months with the new name then you're getting out of the picture ...
If every where keeps been written he was him etc then its just more easy...
