I was just trying to log in and it wouldn't let me... I didn't get why at first, so then I just browsed some threads and saw a post by my with my username as "Silver US" ... my username was "Silver," it has been since I signed up in 2005. D:

So, Uhh... ^^; any reason for that?
(and why in the world was US added..of all things? XD;)

Um... this isn't a rant, and honestly, this would have been better if you had just asked a moderator.

But, since this is a question that you need answered, a moderator that can answer that question will PM you a reason why when it is found out why.

Topic locked.

Is it possible that someone had hacked into your account and changed your name? Maybe it was a glitch? Did you accidentally change your name? Or possibly forget? I am not sure of any other way this could have happened as moderators cannot change members names. Nor would we have any reason to do so.

Well that's me, and it's kinda complex to explain.
To summarize, french members had problems connecting on the site, because they had accounts with the same names on both sites, so they would connect always to their US account instead of the french one. So I renamed these accounts automatically, but there may have been some problems like this. I will probably not give you back "Silver" again as it would bring back the problem, but maybe you would like something else, or something close to it? Just tell me by sending me a PM.
