    I still don’t understand why people are so mad at this.

    Before you were forced to have numbers in your name and now you get a choice, the numbers aren’t forced on you.

    Isn’t more choice better?

      Let’s be real - it literally makes no difference at all. I don’t know why they did it considering it makes absolutely 0 difference from a user standpoint.

        You can set a display name without the numbers, though, can’t you? This seems like a fairly minor issue.

      I think the change was good, but giving Nitro users the option to choose months in advance was really dumb.

      Right? I realize there are instances where you couldn’t see the numbers but those were few

      Also, they’re so inconsequential, you have a display name which is non-unique and every server has nicknames. There’s almost zero point to the username
