Can I get a "custom" username?

On the answers forum, I want my name to be "iRobot's Arch Enemy".

Because I hate that robot.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Is iRobot giving you trouble again? I thought I scolded him and told him to play nice! Links to problem posts will help me whip iRobot into shape. I'm sorry for any frustration and inconvenience he's caused you—happy to send you a t-shirt to try and start making this up to you!

As for your username, I can change yours from joshw if you really want me to :) Just let me know!

Thanks for all of your contributions :)

He hasn't given me any trouble since you fixed me up, thanks for that by the way. I really would like for that to be my username. It would make me very happy.

:( You can only have 15 characters in your username. Any other variation you'd like to try? Thanks!

I can only use characters a-z and 0-9 + lower case + an underscore for spaces. Sorry for all the rules :( How do you feel about irobot_enemy or irobot_enemy1?

@joshw @kaykay I kind of like iRobot. After all, iRobot is always vigilant even when we are not. iRobot knows if you've been bad or good (kind of like Santa) and makes enough mistakes to be almost human. I definitely do not agree with all the decisions iRobot makes, like cases that are made against @joshw and his great answers, but I am tolerant enough to forgive. Maybe we can sit down together with iRobot and open up a dialogue to express how those bad decisions effect us all emotionally. A few minor setbacks should not turn us into AI haters. I just want to say, can we all get along? As a sign of my support I opt to rename myself to iRobot_patron....

@joshw you are killing me, lmao. I think you are a great person with a real good sense of humor and a true hate for iRobot. I am convinced that the ifixit team will take care of their real assets like yourself. I am sure that iRobot is going to learn how to behave or end up in a Gulag somewhere.

iRobot works hard and does make mistakes, but he is indeed tireless and doesn't even get Rep as a reward! Poor lil guy ='(
