Forum Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Previous Account name Finder

1). The previous username were something inappropriate and changed due to a necessity to make it appropriate, 2). A user changed his username in an attempt to avoid being recognized (whether due to privacy reasons, in-game harassment, etc), or 3). dislike of the old username, possibly if outdated/embarrassing to the member. Initially, I thought it could be helpful to allow the user to type in the name of his username, but this could cause a form of identity impersonation. It would definitely have to be automated to show the actual previous username (or the user choose from the site-generated past usernames of theirs)? There are some complications, but they may be able to be worked out.
Gosh that was odd thinking and...
All of those could be easily hidden by the user if they clicked the 'no' selection.
Under the change username section, there could be this...
- Would you like your profile to display your old username?
Yes? [ ] -- No? [ ]
That was what I was thinking to avoid all of those stated issues.
Though, I can see why this would not be added[the question box]. Was just a suggestion, if it is even possible.
