Jyte shouldn't let people change their usernames.

All this name changing and name thievery is fun and all, but it's really confusing. Maybe it would be best if we just made people stick to one name. Thoughts?

Hmm. On consideration, I think Jyte should continue allowing name changes, but make it difficult (or impossible) to change your name frequently. Maybe name changes should be limited to once a month.
Also, it might be nice if Jyte kept a public history of the names you've used, or at the very least displayed your most recent prior name on your profile, like Ebay does.
I'm not sure. I'm beginning to feel more and more like Ben Breedlove. And I'd hate to give up these nice clothes.
Actually, I was thinking along similar lines with Ryan. Perhaps Jyte should keep a history of those names that were use and not allow you use other names that have already been used.
