    Question... What's an initial account name? I see some staff members like Morkula have initial account names, whatever those are. What are they?
     
    From what I can gather Im guessing that was his first name. Before you could change your username on PC so he probably changed it and that is what it was before
     
    Do you mean previous account names? Those are basically just a record of name changes people have had in the past. You can find them by going to their profile page or hovering over their name in a post, though they simply won't show up if the account hasn't had a name change.

    No initial account. Like Morkula's is MegaWobbufetRobo or something.
     
    It also has "(manually added)", so keep that in mind.

    IIRC, there was a time in PC where a username history didn't exist even if you got your name changed, so that's what I think that is about.

    Uhh, if no one else answers then I guess I'll ask them myself. =P
     
    I haven't been around for a long time, so I haven't kept up with current affairs. Can't you change names anymore? That's lame.

    I get it. Look at Audy. It has a new name, but put your mouse over it and it will show his actual username. Maybe it's a new feature or something?

    That's not a new username, just a different display name. Andy had a similar thingy a couple months back when he appeared as "Yoko Littner" in all his posts, but as "Arcanine" in his profile. XD

    I'm guessing it might be a future feature for PC, having a display name different from your regular username. It would effectively be the same as the old name change system, but you'll still be rooted to your original username. :P

    BTW: Mork's original username was "RoboMechaWobbuffet" iirc...whoever said "MegaWobbuffetRobo" was slightly off. XD
