You can no longer place spaces in your user name when changing it.
  Heinous! The space is probably the most important grammatical device of the English language!

  Well. Doesn't that just suck.
  Oh my. -Faint.-

NO!
Really?
I was just about to get rid of the under score in mine.
EVIL I tell you.

Thats rather strange.

The reason they are changing this could be because of trolls.

Trolls will simply make a persona, get banned, then make the same persona with a space in it somewhere to get past the admins and keep trolling.

People have done that ten times or more in a row before getting different names.

As for my name, which has no spaces, it is a pseudonym that plays off my initials. For every website, it's different; ShiftyBobcatAffixation, SilentBarrelAutomatic, The only consistency is in the pattern of capitalization. It's how a few of my friends recognize me places.

Yeeah... I think way too much. rofl

I should make a new account and test it, to see if you can add a space or not.. O.o

Obito Sharingan Uchiha:I guess so.

[Joan De Arc]:
Really? I dunno. I haven't tried to change it in a while.

Ah, I like your ideas. Even though that wasn't the word I was going to change my user name to.
But now that you've given ideas for it, I might change it to that. xD
I do like that word...

Miko_Sohma:
Yes, unfortunately. Yeah, I think it is too.
I know it does, but I don't really want to use one.
At least, not in the middle.
But the system also won't allow me to start my user name with an underscore.

They gave this example:

MyUsername instead of _=My Username=_

I chose the word that you put in on the first post that first caught my eye..
Eheh..

MadnessFreak:
Yeah, the words I chose for my user name need the space.
Otherwise it sounds retarded.
And if I try a creative way (with the underscore, since spaces aren't allowed), it's just too long for me. D:

SilverBellsAbove:
Haha, I really have no theories about why they changed it.
That could be a reason.
You're the only one who has offered an explanation as of yet. xD

I like your user names. They're creative, and don't sound stupid.

Chase Keyhole:
That's the same message I got the other day when I tried to change it.
Yeah, it makes me upset too. D:
But [Joan De Arc] gave me another idea for my user name, so I'll probably end up using that.

[Joan De Arc]:
Yeah, I think I'm going to make that my new favorite word.
I say it's addictive.
Heinous. xD
I like your user name ideas, especially the one in all caps with the period between each letter. :3

I got an idea. How about Inspired.Ambitions? Do they allow that?
PostPosted: Wed Apr 11, 2007 6:48 pm


Yeah, they do.
I'll think about that one.
Thanks. :3

I don't quite understand your slight dislike of underscores but ah well.

What about Inspired~Ambitions? Or Inspired*Ambitions?

It's not that I dislike undescores.
I just don't want to use it for this particular screen name.

Hmm...
I'll think about the first one.
