Possibility to return custom user name feature?

I thought they were cool for spur of the moment changes (like Skills' THE GRAIN BARON title back on SB). It took a bit of detective work to figure out who THE GRAIN BARON was, and with custom titles, that problem would have been solved. As long as they're defaulted to "off" for the folks that don't like them, I don't see the harm.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Because the best part of the custom user name feature was that you could click on a person's name and see the original username. That way, haters could either turn the feature off, or at least click the person's name to see who they were talking to. I don't see how anyone could not like this feature. If you have it turned off, you'll never see any username changes, which would be a step up from what we see now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
