so ive noticed that we are unable to change out usernames without admin assistance. I was wondering if its possible that the forums will switch to a uuid (universally unique identifier) system one day.
for those who dont know, uuid works kinda like a seed. the seed identify to a specific user, and is publicly available.
a good example is minecraft- you can make a world with the seed 1234, and name it "minecraftia", or make another world with the seed 1234 and name it "creative testing world" but because the seed is the same, it still spawns the same world.
im sure all of you at some point have thought "i would really like to change my name" but then find out theres no way to unless you contact an admin. that works, but not as good as a uuid system, especially if theres a large number of users to admins.
just a suggestion, what do you guys think
