It shouldn't be that hard to change it to something matching your MySQL database structure (if you have a database with the information already), or something that is connected with e.g. your website's forum board (if you run a such one).

If you run any of the player trackers out there, that saves the first name the user ever used in one of the columns of the player tracker database, the SQL query could simply be changed to SELECT directly from that column and it would do almost exactly what you want.

One caveat with this one is that you do not have the 60 seconds to change your name as the one you link to, once the database has a name, that name (or any future adjustments to the name directly in the database) will be the one that will be forced.
I know some AMXX Scripting but know nothing of the SM and GO scripts, working on trying to learn. If I were to dive into this plugin myself and try and convert it over to SM and GO would I have to use MySQL or could I still use a vault file as this one does? I don't mind having to use MySQL but I like the vault file a little better as I'm not trying to force it across servers, just on the one server itself. I could see how MySQL would be very beneficial if I was trying to force the names across servers but I think that would be a bit much.
