Announcement April Fools 2022 - Reserve Your New Username NOW!

[Luv Ducks]

Oh No, now I have a problem. I had wanted Crazy about Ducks or Deb's Ducks and I can't remember which one you let me have. I am so worried that I won't know who I am anymore. I am in the older generation and my brain is not as fresh as some of you younger people. Please help, I don't want to be lost in the shuffle!!!!

Short version: Reply to this post with your new username reservation ASAP!

​

Hello Peeps, we've got some important and urgent news to share with all our members.

We recently learned that we have to do an important security server and database update. This MUST be completed by the end of the day.

The good news: this will make our community 2x more secure and will reduce our spammers and trolls by up to 72%!!

The unfortunate (or perhaps for others, fortunate) part of this update: We will require everyone to choose a NEW username. For security purposes the new username MUST be something that isn't currently in use.

We regret that this is necessary, but it is something we must do to improve the security of our amazing community!

So, please reply with what you'd like your new username to be. This is a first-come-first-serve process and will reward the peeps that are online, active, and see this message. Once you reply with the username you want, this will be the system-of-record that you requested it first, and we'll reserve it for you.

We know for some this will be difficult, and we ask for patience and understanding as we go through this necessary process. We will eventually, hopefully, be able to convert usernames back to their original ones if members so choose, but it may take some time.

All BYC rules and terms apply when picking new names. Let's have some fun with this since we have no other choice. Thanks for understanding.

I haven't received confirmation that my future name is reserved: Awesome Rain

It's reserved for you.

So many members makes this quite a challenge.

Unless someone else is already who you want to be....

Then you gotta be someone else.

Don't worry. The information will be here if we need to search any names down for anyone.

That's why I asked though, I'd made the request back in the 30 pages realm of this thread and it's at 150-something now, and didn't get a response (like others are getting). Did not want anyone STEALING my good name :d

So fun seeing everyone’s new names. I took a screenshot of mine so I don’t forget what I picked!
