Useful idea. A way to do it that takes future changes in account is to list [Current Name] followed by a list of previous aliases? AKAs?

What the heck Conan, why do you do this to us?

This could be a good idea, because we have members like blankety blank who have changed their names several times in the last month.
However, if people come here to see what's happened in the last month, just seeing a list of names and aliases might be hard to trawl through.
I think there are two solutions to this - EITHER when someone has a name change I put the list of all their aliases before, such as:

Quote:

MAY 2016 -

Mighty Salami / Salami is now ........[new name]....

OR: there's no reason why I shouldn't go to the extra effort of compiling two lists, this one and a list like the kind Pedestrian suggested. That way, people can have their lists and their timeline.

Well, I don't think we have so many changes that there'd be a huge list to trawl through for anyone. F.ex.

Salami
Mighty Salami

These Guys
Conan

Pedestrian
Pedantic Bastard
Autotune the Unicorn
Princess Nefertiti Rainbow Crystal Light

You know what? I think you're right. And I could arrange them alphabetically by current name so that they can be more easily located. Should I update my OP?

If you don't, I'd be happy to. I think the flow would be easier to follow, and would easily account for future changes.

I'll try and keep up, you do far too much for this forum anyway!
However, for obvious reasons, could you please add anything between April and June due to my absence?

Ah, is this your study ban? Yeah, of course.

Ugh, I'm dreading it!

Anyway, I've updated it to the new idea. Please feel fee to change the current arrangement if it wasn't what you wanted!

Looks good, though I did remove my own list, as I've never actually been any of those people, as hilarious as that would be.
