Most people know that if you enter www.armorgames/user/the user's name it takes you directly to thier account. A few days ago I noticed accounts are non-case sensitive. For example, my user name is spelled with a lowercase f. Copy and paste this link in your web browser bar where you enter armorgames.com and see what happens. www.armorgames.com/user/Ferfer313/ also try entering www.armorgames.com/user/ferfer313/ Compare the data and tell me your result on this forum.

Uhm, otherwise there could be a bunch of users called variations of your username. And as we do not allow imposters or parodies, that would be a problem.

I'm going to test that with skater_kid_who_pwns as follows:

This is with the underscores.

This is without the underscores.

According to this test, Graham is correct.

I do not see how that changes that making usernames case sensitive would screw with pretty much everyone, create a bunch of trouble and would be more annoying than anything.

And considering half the people that use my username can't even spell it properly, I don't think they care whether it is with a capital C anyway.

Either way, yay, usernames in different ways, woot.
