Why is my username not my Replit username?

Continuing the discussion from How do I change my username?:

Shouldn’t my username be 9pfs, then?

I’m guessing because you exist, and a user called @9pfs also exists for some reason.

That user is actually me (check the activity from it and compare it to what you know about me) from before when Replit Ask only allowed logging in using Replit.

I wish this account had the contributor badges that account had, lol maybe a moderator could manually add them?

Yes. I exist in two forms, one with far more privileges (and daily :heart: s) than the other.

People who have hyphens in their name just get the hyphen removed, so if someones username was like god- their forum username would be @god.

maybe a moderator can merge @9pfs to your account. then, rename your account to that name

This would be due to SSO being added and you having an account before that without the emails matching. @ShaneAtReplit can merge the 2 accounts together
