So to clarify some points raised:
When you sign up to the forums, that doesn't count as a username change. So if you are unhappy with your original username you can change it at any time.
Once you have made a username change, you cannot make another one for 365 days. I thought the wording I chose was clear, but in case it's not: no, that doesn't mean you only have to wait till the next January 1st, you have to wait the full 365 days.
Whilst 1 username change per year may seem unusually restrictive, please remember that you can ask the staff to change your username at any point. As long as the reason is a good one, we will likely grant the request.
As for people who were intending to change their username and now cannot for a longer time, please contact the staff with a request.
