• We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.

Lockdown your username!

AKA make sure your personal data is stolen in 100% of security breaches. Special bonus get spam from everyone on the net!!
 
Thier business model makes no sense and probably violates every single TOS for the accounts they reserve. The only logical way they could make money would be to SPAM heavily and sell your data or to simply reserve EVERY user name on every site forcing you to pay them for it. They could even outright lie saying someone beat you to that name on site A, but the person who has it is willing to sell it to you for $25 plus our fee of $5. The person who has it of course would be them. Actually the more I think about it their only logical business model would be that last scenario. By registering with their site they now know someone on the internet values a certain username a LOT. Enough that their shady sister site will use in the above scenario. You are essentially guaranteeing you will not get your desired name on certain sites in the future if you tell them what it is.

Apparently, new services that start up may choose to use this system so they'll already have users with minimal difficulty to finish registration.
