Okay this is probably a suggestion for PC 2.0 because I doubt vBulletin naturally has this. But you know how when you search for a common word that has different contexts, you'll see something like this:
![[PokeCommunity.com] Wikipedia-style name redirects](https://i.imgur.com/5CoIXvi.png "[PokeCommunity.com] Wikipedia-style name redirects")
We should have something similar for names! For example, when I came back Audy's name was changed to Owl. I'm still not used to that so I often go to the page for Ausaudriel instead of Owl, and then just get a "this user does not exist" error. There should be something like Wikipedia where it says "Ausaudriel was a previous username of:" with some postbits or something to distinguish who's who. This would also be good for when one person drops a name and another person picks it up.
Okay this is kind of hard to explain and I hope that made sense. If not I can try to Firebug or Photoshop an example and you can see what I mean. :)
