Hi Ducks108,
Firstly, thanks for your help with the name contributions.
Whenever you see a name like "[#444830742]", technically that is not a display name, but rather a temporary account ID number set by Jagex. For example: If someone makes an account with an inappropriate display name, once Jagex finds out about it they will replace that inappropriate name with a string of numbers in brackets, and give the account holder the option to change to a new, more acceptable display name. But until the account holder does so, they are locked out of the game and will appear to others in-game as just a string of numbers.
This string of numbers is not actually a display name - try searching it on the RuneScape Highscores and you'll see it doesn't bring up the highscores for the account. It's simply a temporary placeholder ID set by Jagex. I'm also a bit curious when you say:

Which I know is current as I look it up in the Highscores.
Where were you able to locate the account on the RuneScape Highscores? Neither Stroke33 nor [#444830742] appear on the RuneScape Highscores for me.Anyway, I suppose the best thing to do whenever you encounter a name that has switched to a string of numbers is hit the "Generate a New Name" link to skip past it.
. But I'll be sure to hit the generate new name button! Thanks for making an epic site for us all to benefit! <33
