The entire thing was just a long con to trick VeggetaX into changing his name.

They have taken the space and one day they will come for the underscore.

That would surely be an improvement.

Just get it over with TC.

First they came for the space names, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a space name.

I hope they come for numbers next.

It's an ACCOUNT reconciliation, not a user reconciliation. Pretty massive difference.

For the most part, this only applies to accounts from 2004 or earlier (exceptions for newer accounts due to contributor names are likely a couple hundred at most). They must have selected original usernames that fall into a very narrow categorization that itself was uncommon, and then been active for over a decade, and declined changing their names the other two times that this has happened, nor changed their name voluntarily, and also continually logged in until 2022 to prevent the site from auto-changing them if they ever went inactive for too long.

There are not more than 4000 of them left.

For people who want to reformat but not entirely change their original name, I will advocate for choosing hyphens over underscores.
