Go to Edit Profile to choose your username color.

What does each name color mean?

Light Blue, Pink, and Purple usernames are the three selectable username colours, and they look as such when a user is active. Darker Light Blue, Pink, and Purple indicate that the user is inactive, i.e. hasn't logged in a month. Sometimes, these three colors will be temporarily replaced by a different set, such as during holidays.

Banned users have their usernames colored by the severity of their ban (Temporarily Banned, Account Disabled).

Italic Usernames are used to indicate that an account is either inactive, or is banned, and are used in conjunction with the above colours.

Why is my name color different?

Can I change my username?

You can PM an Administrator whose role involves the userbase or DM them on Discord to request a username change, but they reserve the right to deny requests. After a successful name change, there is a cooldown of three months before the next one can be requested. Users are also given the privilege to display a different, temporary name during events such as the holidays.
