Dude I just spent 10 mins trying to get the thing to let me make an account. It kept saying my username didn't fit the format requirements, but then didn't tell me what the format requirements were.

    That's certainly unfortunate that it isn't giving you a useful error. I'm not sure why it says that. I tried creating an account there with a similar username to yours, and it was created no problem on the main movim.eu instance.

    Are you using a VPN?

    That shouldn't factor in any way with web tech just as the color of my underwear doesn't.

    I agree, but sometimes certain VPN's can be blocked if they are often used by bots, such as free VPN's. Just thought I'd ask to see if I could narrow down what could be happening (since it works fine on my end, even with a VPN).
