I remember a thread about this AGES ago. Explaining why various words were being banned, and that if you had a word, like "angel" in your username, you may be asked to change it. (EDIT: The thread doesn't exist any more, btw... it was long before the crash of '05)

It was established because it got incredibly annoying with people wanting to call themselves certain things. I wouldn't be surprised if variations of Snow White were banned, but I definitely know "angel" was one of them. I think goth/gothic was another. It just got really irritating because everyone was registering with similar names.

Kind of like the epidemic on EvThreads recently where everyone was registering as Snow White Queen or Snow White King or I luv SW, you get the point.

But that was also when we had a bajillion members all the time constantly joining and posting. It even got to a point where you couldn't recognize who was who because their usernames were so damn similar.

Personally, if you're really upset about it, I think you need to give it a rest. Is it really that important that your usertitle be Sparkling Angel? I mean, come on, don't get your panties in a bunch over something like that. It's really not that big of a deal, like Sweet Tigger said, just change it to something else. Do people even look at usertitles?

BTW: Wildangel, I remember you as tatersmomma too.
