What is the rationale behind hiding old names?
When someone wants to join a clan or when you want to scrim someone it would be nice to know who they are.
As it is you can search for old names and the new name comes up. But this means you have to guess endlessly to try to figure it out.

If it were up to me, you'd have one name period.
/me points to Steam and other online games that do just that.

I think the multiple names is just to save Jits the inevitable "change my name" requests.

Do we have a feature vote for that yet? I'm sure a few more people would agree with that crazy scheme.

At this point I agree that only one name is not feasible.
But a list of all old names is quite feasible, and still allows them to have the name they eventually settle on.

Just to show how frustrating it is to change the public record I edited my post!

bit silly to show old names as you can't tell anything from them.
For instance, the name "hero" has been owned by 12 players since the start of the login system. Whats the benefit of knowing someone used to have that name...
Also the fact that people are allowed to change their names means they are allowed to pick and choose and throw away when they don't want anything to do with a name ever again. If this history is available I for one would be more picky about what names I have used, but its not, so I haven't been. So then, is this idea to try and limit the number of names people have, or change?
Also, if someone is going to that length to hide their name, why bother even trying to find out, what does it even matter who they are??? They can't put on a fake clan tag, and you're never going to know everyone in the community anyway....
I just don't get why..

No ty.
True, they require one static account name, but you can also change your name in those games freely because it doesn't kick you for spoofing (at least, not in an automated fashion), and that's why it works so well for Steam.

You don't understand why I would want to know who is joining my clan?

I was referring to the second part of that sentence sorry.

I think this will create an even bigger problem with multi-accounting. There are already a crapton of these issues for the committee and myself to deal with.
