I’m disappointed… 24 hours later and nothing really pops out.

@Ben, we need to find out how to get around that pesky character limit.
I found one spot in the code where I believe I can exclude his user_id from the max-length validation check, but it'll only work on the self-inflicted username changes and not the ones done through the Admin CP. That's handled with a different function I haven't been able to isolate yet, and besides I'm a little more leery of messing with the ACP code.

I did try to just edit his username directly in the database table, but the field there is capped to 50 characters, so it only took "A big cranky duplicitous evangelical fiercely gua". While it might be possible to adjust the field-length of that column, again, jacking up the database just for sakes of jacking up Alu seems excessive.

So unless we're really committed to making it as hard as possible to log in, I think a 203 character name (removing special characters) might be off the table.

Alternatively I might be able to rig something up in the templates to just show X long-ass username for his ID, but that'll be a lot of various places to edit it to make sure it's replaced across the board, and it's not really a name change.

Sadly, he might be immune to excessively large forum-breaking ones.

Alternatively change it to:

A big cranky duplicitous evangelical fucktard
