Certain people were talking to themselves, and using their name to abuse other forum dwellers.

Yes, they really were talking to themselves.

perhaps he no longer wants to be the prince of darkness, or he got a promotion and is now king of darkness.

I think they should put up a huge screen saying pick your name wisely as it will be yours from now on. If you think closely about it (or are given a name), then there is no need to change it as it only confuses everyone. Changing your name more than once a year should be like a 1 year noob slap if it's ever brought back. Changing more than once a month needs to be banning.

Why not just be nice to people and/or help out? then disappearing is the last thing anyone would want.
