When this site was brand new they allowed for a different set of acceptable username characters. They later remapped certain characters. About a year later in the early part of 2017.
One of the characters that was accepted was the "_" character and I had always used that in my username even in 1998.
So initially my username was De_Wayfarer. Yet when they remapped it automatically became De0Wayfare.
I hated that "0"! So I was forced to change it to this! DeWayfarer.
If I had my choice though it would be more like this...

Which is closer to my Usenet username! 😁
I have never changed it since they remapped the characters.

@Ironicman thank you for the BC.
As you can see it's a very old username of mine. Even have links on my about me to some of my replies in 1998!
