One case is if you restore a database backup and an error occurs during restoration. Another, more common occurance, is when merging one board into another board where the username already exists. I've even experienced it when an admin switches vB over to something else like PHPBB and then switches back over to vB - duplication occurs.

Anyway, after importing data the admin should always check for username duplication.

I disagree, if a person were able to change their username upon post - it is still an exploit. It may not be a traditional "hack", but it is still considered an exploit.

If it is a PHPBB forum, then they're using the vBulletin online status image next to the username.
