It should be fixed now.  My apologies.

Hi, Healthcliffe.

Do very minor changes still apply to the 6-month rule? Anyways, I'd like to remove the Xx's and _'s from my username, because it's too long.

TheLetterThorn

It's fine by me, but maybe the process should be respected anyway

Yes - The entire process must be followed even for minor changes.  Sorry.
Honestly, I feel you could probably wait - your date for allowed change should come in a week or two.

tbh i think you guys are making too much of a deal out of this, i mean, six months is a heck of a long time

also, why are you never allowed to switch your username back? (not that i want to, i certainly don't, but i'm just wondering)
I don't use this website anymore (although I may check in or post occasionally), and have not for a while now. Sincerest apologies if you were wishing to communicate with me.
The vast majority of the things I have posted on here are old, and I regret them extremely. My attitude (i.e. annoyingness level (i.e. very high)) in such posts are (hopefully) not indicative of my current attitude (i.e. probably considerably less annoying). I thank all of my friends from earlier times here for tolerating my ignorance and idiocy.
Thank you.
(Also, I don't normally talk (well, type) like this. I just think it's fun. Bye.)

TheLetterThorn

Yeah, I'm with you there. Six months is a little ridiculous imo (the rules were made during my absence). However we were getting things with user impersonation, which I think is why those rules were put in place.as for not changing back your username, that's to prevent joke changes.

We meant that you can't change it back until another 6 months has passed.

Blunderbus

it'd be kinda silly if there was a system where everyone could make a joke username for about a week around april fools

hey, DownsGameClub. Do you think we could relax the rules just a little bit? Like maybe make it a month instead of six months?

We can look into that. I'll mention it in the Discord.

I only verified it two days ago, should be another day yet.

So, as Darkfire pointed out, it was verified two days ago, but also, we were dealing with the fallout of an attack on the website. Things like username changes aren't quite as high as a priority as general safety and security.

Are you sure about this? Like REALLY REALLY sure? Once you do this, you will have to live with it for a bare minimum of 6 months. Make ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE that you like this change before doing this.
good morning, SMF!

Fun Fact: Exposure to excessive blue light at night can harm sleep, because blue light tells your brain that it's daytime. To avoid this, I HIGHLY recommend a little program called f.lux. It makes your display warmer at night when the sun sets, reducing blue light exposure at night. Click here to get f.lux. Apparently a small study from Brigham Young University is casting doubt on this old belief, I'll have to keep an eye on this and see if it's reproduced by a larger study/studies. I'll still probably use f.lux even if it is just a placebo because looking at a bright blue screen in a room lit with a warm-white light is kinda obnoxious.
