    So, the actual reason for the change is likely their dumb handling of capitalization in the original scheme. To use your username as an example:

    copygirl#1234, Copygirl#1234, COPYGIRL#1234, CopyGirl#1234, etc

    Every permutation of capitalization is available as a distinct username. And with the low price of Nitro you get to customize your discriminator, which could make impersonation a very real problem.
