Or is this a site policy because FFR's code gives an African AIDS every time you change a username

Also, I'd like to request my username be changed to 'Chardish'
Yes, changing your vbulletin name is easy as ****. However, the game part of FFR was written using a lot of hardcoded username fields. The reason why it was done like that, I don't understand. If it was all done by userid like it should have been, changing names would be a piece of cake.

You could try writing a script that effects all known username fields with some kind of cascading effect. That way you can use that whenever you change something name. Although it would be implying that you are going to be changing a lot of peoples names in the future, which is probably unlikely.
