I get an error "Please Try Again" when I enter my UserName into the Hackaday.io name assignment form. I can't imagine that someone has already used my account name already, so I'm reaching out to you for assistance. Thanks!

How can I merge an account created with my email address (which was allowed a vanity address), with an account I just made with my twitter creds?

I'll PM you.

Anyone else with this problem should PM me with the username and the details of the the account you'd like to keep, and the one which is the duplicate. Thanks!

Why can't I get HelloWorld ? Is it reserved too ? Can we get access to the reserved list, to be sure that we're not trying in vain ?

hm, are those case sensitive? tried zerocool but didn't work.

Benchoff wrote 01/21/2015 at 00:13 point

I dunno.

All I know is we came up with a list of 'reserved' names. Hackerspaces, companies, and universities. I added ZeroCool to the list, because no one should be that lame.
