Just a mod note about name changes, in case this sways anything:

- If your name remains recognizable, you can change it at any time

- If your name becomes unrecognizable, you can't change your name again for six months, except if you change back to your old username

- If you do change back to your old username before six months, you are then stuck with the old username for six months from when you changed back

Tl;dr make sure you're willing to keep something for six months.

Totally didn't have to google what that meant <_< but no, they don't.

Phoenix sounds cool and understandable. Go with it. :D

Always check if a username is taken using the memberlist search.

In this case, "Phoenix" is taken, so you need something else.

Yeah, it's supposed to be "Phönix" anyways as in, Phoenix, but basically as a reference to probably some sort of inside joke, rather than just being "a phoenix". I have a different username almost everywhere so who cares.
