Can I have my username changed to zaper?

I'll give some context here:

Throughout most of my life as an Ultima Online player, I was known as ZapeR. I was a very proeminent member of the RP Brazilian community, but I was also a shitposter before shitposting was a thing.

I made a lot of people angry at me on mIRC when I was a teenager, and that made me get banned from many places.

So I had to create a new identity in order to keep playing the game I loved the most. I created "faqqa" as an alternate persona who didn't offend people and didn't make enemies, by thinking on the most bland and meaningless nickname I could.

It actually worked. I ended up becoming GM of the big servers, doing lots of quests and having lots of fun.

But eventually the scene died, and I had no more reason to use "faqqa" as a nickname. I realized it was a really stupid nick, and once someone suggested that it meant "For All Queers to Queue Around" or something, but that's not really the point.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sorry, I just learned that this isn't a common thing from someone commenting on it. I didn't know you couldn't normally do that. I changed it because the previous one was appearing bugged on some notifications.

This is relatable.

This is my plan now.

Anyway, good luck with the username change, zaper.

But that acronym explanation for FAQQA suits your avatar to a T! It is a shame to change it.

It sure as fuck was the greatest achievement of my life for a long time, as pathetic as this is.

I was so in love with making quests and content for RP servers that I couldn't think of anything else I would rather do most of the time.

Thanks everyone that supported me in this battle. We got a pyrrhic victory, but at least we fought well.
