FF.net ties your login to your email address and your user id. The username can be changed there because it isn't used to log in.

This has absolutely nothing to do with it. The forum has the technology built in to allow name changes. In rare cases's we've even allowed/forced them. It just makes old games harder to follow.

My apologies then. Perhaps something can be done on a user's profile or postbit that shows their old username/usernames?
