No way! He just needs a new CMS expert. Here's one option: UPDATE Users SET Secret_RealName = Avatar_ChosenName WHERE 1=1 If they run that on their CMS database's Users table (with appropriate adjustments for actual column names) They destroy the old users' real name by replacing it with their Avatar name. This would preserve all old comments' anonimity. Active users could edit their names back to "real" if they wanted. There's no way there's a CMS where a fix is impossible. The result in this case might be a little unsavory but its far from the only option... Just the cheapest guaranteed one that I can think of.
