    Well im sure i can sign up, but just not with my preferred username.
    Black_knight "is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards"
    I cant see it in the members list, and I dont know why it wouldn't meet the admin standards.

    Will I just have to settle for a different username?

    Might be the underscore?

    I had a similar problem when trying to sign up to boards.org.uk with the username Jack B. Badd. Do other boards sites query the same members list as boards.ie when people try to sign up to prevent duplication or am I talking crazy?

    Odd, I've just signed up that username (I'm an admin there) using a disposable email address. Send me a PM here and I'll give you access to it if you want.
