I feel like I have a good memory, but remembering what someone else posted two years ago is another level. I can't remember what I posted 2 years ago.
Its tough for sure but certain strong takes and writing styles stick with me. I can rarely recall off top of head of the previous usernames but enough to do a little digging most times.
An easy check for someone who has just changed their username and has a long history is just go through their post history. TA code doesn't go back and retroactively change the usernames if they have been replied to. (Staff please don't change this., it's literally the only way to 100% prove a UN change and the conditions have to be just right for it anyways)
It is not hard for me to remember posters when they:
1) possess insight, knowledge, or expertise in an area relevant to the board
2) are kind, helpful, and willing to help others
3) are funny
4) are complete *******s
5) do and post things so egregious, that is all you think about when you see their username
