New Account BS

Simply put I have had this account for a very long time, now I am forced to change my Username without any time/option to prove I've had this account for a while. This is such BS. I understand that this may be a way of getting rid of old/unused accounts, but at the very least make it so that people have a week or so to long in before forcibly changing their usernames. Please listen to your community and its ten thousand forum posts to fix this mistake or at the very least given them time to log in to prove their activity.
