OpenChat Username

Hello and good evening, Mr. @hpeebles . Why can’t I register the username that is not yet taken in OpenChat?

What username are you trying to register?
The min length is 5 and the max is 15, it could be to do with that.

But I’m also seeing the account with three and four letters like Joe in there. I want to use my name, which is Fuad.

Ah right.
That’s because the min used to be 3, so some old users got in before we raised the limit. We may do something about that in the future but for now the limit only applies to anyone creating or updating their username. Existing usernames are unaffected.

Oh, that’s very unfortunate for me. I hope you can reduce the limit in the future soon, :pray:t3: and I’ll definitely join the OpenChat at that time. Anyway, thanks for the reply, and have a great day/evening. :blush:
