I know there are probably some hacks and add ons with the current version of vb...perhaps an upgrade should be taken into consideration.

Understood - but that sets a very tricky precedent. If the name change is that important and the only motivation is just wanting a different name this is how it is handled otherwise we'd be flooded with a continual stream of requests.

To clarify when this happens the first account is deactivated, not actually banned.
