I think that is thunderlips

Doesn't two scoops pre date Ironman?

Does 'two scoops' refer to Trumpligula's ice cream requirement or the knockers in his avatar?

No, they're not the same user at all.

I thought two scoops was T-Lips

No. It's Thunderlips.

@Patrick, you should keep a history of usernames when someone changes their username. It will avoid confusion.

Is there an easy way that does not require a new db table?

You could look at old comments that have a "thunderlips said" quote, and then click that to go back to the comment and see the current username. But that is a PITA, I agree.

And comment search is buried at the bottom of the post search page.

Lots of things still to improve.

Why not just add a field to the user table. Make the field a string and just add to it when someone changes their name. If the string gets to long, just truncate it.

Thanks, Patrick.

I can officialy confirm that TwoScoops McGee is formerly Lashkar-e-Trumpa, aka Thunderlips

Ron Jeremy.

Good idea @YesYNot , will do.

OK @Dan8267 @YesYNot your wish has been granted!

From now on, when someone changes username, the recent previous names will be displayed on their user page. For example see https://patrick.net/users/Patrick

I am really Patrick, btw.

You're not. I'm quite sure, since I checked the database. :-)

You got me a date with Taylor Swift? You're my hero!
