Re: Name change?
In theory, absolutely - forums are essentially relational databases, so there is going to be a user/member table containing bits of information such as your user name, password, rights, post count, etc. All of this will most likely be attached to a numeric key field which is used to track all of your activity and postings in various other tables. All that would have to be done, since your user name is linked by the numeric value everywhere else in the database would be to change the text of your login name in the table that contains your user information.
Now, whether or not the owners/operators of the forum have the kind of granularity or ability to do that through their administrative interface is another matter, and then it becomes a matter of whether or not they will do it.
I'm a database administrator so I do that kind of thing fairly frequently, so yeah, it "can" be done if the right people and tools are in place to make the change.
Your = possessive - your stuff, your dog, your car, etc
You're = you are - a contraction.
Learn it. Love it.
