Default 99% of the forums i have been to or seen don't allow you to change your name..
AW is a bit different since they use an AID as the primary key instead of a username.

yeah that makes sense. it probably also relieves some issue of username spoofing/stealing

Default Keying on the username could be a headache if users are allowed to use special characters in names
I'd have a bastard key autonumbering members all along, so I'd be prepared the day that the **** hits the fan

Default Nah, I didn't like that LPGA name
I think Mulligan is a female name and is much more suitable

Default i've seen it done both ways..... but ya, if someone inputs a character that the DB doesn't like ....
