Is there a way to see a member's previous usernames? Sometime's I'll be talking to someone on here and realize that I knew them from years ago. Or I'll talk to a friend like a complete stranger and look like an ass. And if you take any sort of sabbatical from the site and come back, it's like you don't know anyone.

No. It's pretty much word of mouth.

Would that be something worth integrating?

I'm not sure that's possible.
I don't think that's a feature of the forum software, and not sure whether it's necessary anyway.

I don't see the need for superfluous username changes. Mine's always been the same, keeping it low-key, all undercase (lame pun intended). Sometimes less is more.

That's one position amongst others.

UglyOrgan.

I know this is really far fetched that's why I didn't even mention it in the previous improvements thread.

What would be the possibility of Admin upgrading to the latest version of v.bulletin?

I don't believe that viewing previous usernames is even a feature available on any VBulletin forum. I don't see how that would be very useful when instead you could just ask the person in question if they ever had another username.
