Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Mine's a contraction of my username on a few aviation forums. Even though I haven't been active on those for years, I still didn't want recognized on here. It's sky because I'd rather be up there then down here, but I lost my medical clearance years ago. *sigh*

Like @DarkTear and @Lunar I usually use another username online, but I decided to choose a different one for SS just in case I could be too easily identified. I am partly of Mexican descent on my mother's side, so I decided to use a Spanish word. My field of specialization in grad school was 20th-century Brazilian history: I remembered that Rio de Janeiro is nicknamed a Cidade Maravilhosa, the Marvelous City. I translated the last word from Portuguese into Spanish, and so I ended up with Maravillosa.

Everything around me turns to shit - I am the man with the turdlike touch. Every life situation overwhelms me and is too much. I am riddled with anxiety and leave a trail of chaos and messiness everywhere I go. So I didn't have to think on it for too long.

Ideally the username should give some subtle indication of the way the user thinks, such as those who have chosen their favourite poet or philosopher, without giving away his identity. This makes it easier to understand the person, and if you're familiar with the works of the philosopher, author, or poet, you could know exactly where he's coming from and can better relate to what he says. It could also be your favourite character in a play, story or film; basically anything which doesn't identify the user yet can reflect his thoughts.
