If a member changes their username, and they're your "friend," I would hope they might send you a PM to let you know. Of course, not everyone on our friends list may be an actual friend, so your mileage may vary.

If a member changes their username, it doesn't impact their friends or ignore status. If they were on your ignore list before, they should still be on it after the name change.

It against the community guidelines to create a second account, unless you have a specific reason and get prior approval before creating it. Members who have duplicate accounts risk losing all of their membership privileges with us.

All members are welcomed to a one-time username change by PMing one of the administrators (preferably not me). We limit it to one to avoid just this kind of confusion...
