The forum's "data" is based on usernames. If you change your name, then your tracked threads will disappear, and this can be an annoying inconvenience for people who don't bookmark. Obviously, when changing your name, your "data" should remain the same - it needs to be based on ID.
Why? Because you cannot change your ID, it remains the same. If you're wondering why post count doesn't "restart", that's because they fixed it and made it so it's based of your ID. This should be for everything on the forum as well.

Then I can necrobump all my suggestions and flood the page with my posts.
Oh, but I do think they should still display the username we had at the time of posting. Saves confusion. |

Even though I'm never going to change my name, I'll give this a support.

Normally, your old username would be displayed when necrobumping an old thread of you with that old username.
