I'm not sure how the others feel but I tend to think of the IC board as a sort of one-off, timey-wimey sort of thing. I consider my RP in game to be the "real time" stuff, but since there's always downtown of being logged off, or playing the game proper, or just not being around, the stuff in my blog and the stuff on the forums fits into those gaps at some point.
If we were to RP on the forums, for example, I would make mention of the events as being past-tense in-game so that the events are "canon" for my world, but there's no reason that it had to occur in the client.
Regarding your name: Don't sweat the details. Naming conventions are a guide, not a rule. There's plenty of reasons your character might not be using a "proper" elezen name. He might not have been raised in a conventional environment, he might have decided to cast it off after walking the path of an adventurer. You're not named Chronic'blaze Puffpuffpass so it shouldn't be too much to just run with it.
