I wouldn't think so. This is not new information and has been asked more than once in the past.

I would have to imagine it changes the screen name on all of your prior posts (same as changing your sig or avatar does), so you wouldn't be hiding from anything if that was the reasoning behind the change.

That is correct, all previous posts will be renamed. If you "thanked" any posts your old name will still appear since they are recorded separately as they occur.

I get occasional requests to change usernames. It's usually because someone registers with their real name and later realizes that it's not wise to do that. Other times people just think of a more suitable username after a while.

It's easy and I don't mind doing it.

I tried to register as my full title,
"Lord Kamper. Viceroy of Earth. Third Rock From The Sun."
but it said 'too long.' Any change on that yet?

Put as your signature.

Ha, ha! Do you want me to go back to the dancing flea? I think the membership lost a few monitors before I changed that avatar!

I don't think I'd change my screen name. I use it in several places. If I had used different ones I might eventually decided to switch them all to the same one. The problem with changing a screen name is that no one will know who you 'were' unless you have "Formerly known as ..." for a signature which kind of defeats the purpose. But, to each their own!
