There are alot of forum accounts and alot of game accounts that would need to be processed at a certain point which will take the cpu to 100% making the game or forum stay down perhaps.

I'd be alright with this, so long as it doesn't explicitly name the characters. I have a few that get flamed on a regular basis for blowing up transports, etc. Also, people should be able to opt out for personal reasons.

How do you plan to reliably link forum accounts with the player's actual time online? (No, IPs will not work for this.) Have you considered how this will work with shared accounts?
I don't know how to make something like this for this game since I suck at coding and etc. Just giving an example with this link. If you search players like for example my own "in-game nickname" here it displays your profile from the server, also gives you all sorts of stats and other nicknames you've used in this server. However I think you cannot connect it to your account unless you make something like a signature with this link etc. But MarkieBoy, the developer, is a cool guy and you can always contact him he will give you some hints and tips.
