I brought this up with Bort last week.

(Like the old joke "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Then don't do that.")
Other possible fixes were discussed, but it sounds like fixing the problem to where "Retired Player"s can safely be viewed again is going to be a little more difficult / time-consuming than you'd think... I don't reckon that finding that solution is his top priority today, but I can confirm that Bort is aware of the issue and I'm sure there will be a solution eventually.

Again, though, prior to the creation of this thread in December 2013, being able to view retired players named "Retired Player" didn't cause any server problems at all.

What the fuck happened in December 2013 that all of a sudden made this an issue?

That question still hasn't been answered by you, Corndog, Bort, DigitalDaggers, or anyone else.

What is the server issue and why hadn't this been the case before? GLB went through many years with "Retired Player"s being visible.

If you wanted to see your Retired Players, you shouldn't have named them Retired Player. Or something like that.

That's true. And I have no idea what caused the issue. I'm sure once they work out a solution we'll get more info on that.

Yeah looks like its most likely retired developers at this point.

Good question that still needs a truthful answer.
