Is there something I'm missing? I'd like to know in case I have to consider it for my modification.

Forum, Thread and Post information counters should be updated when you change a user's name. It is not all done by userid because of denormalization for performance purposes. Having a join to the user table on every query is not needed.

The reason we do not allow name changes in general are not of technical nature, nor are tehy because it would consume too much time from staff. We have other reasons for this that i can not fully disclose, nor will i further discuss them here, but they are part of of our efforts not to give potential scammers to much possibilities to have a long carreer of scamming people on our site.
