I found it odd that my username (directedlight) was used considering I haven't used the account in over 6 months. That says something to me about how the usernames were chosen. It was either completely random or somehow a list was pooled by targeting specific members of conspiracy, even the more obscure ones like myself.
Same here. My main reddit account, which I have used once in the last three months, had its name taken here as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a list at all.
One thing I noticed is that your name and mine (no relation to this handle) were both taken on 6/24/2014, within the last 24 hours, while everyone who posted on reddit in this thread about their name being taken had been posting frequently since whoaverse came online, and had their names taken at an earlier date (6/23 or before).

mine was swiped in the very early hours of 6/23/14, so likely not by a US perp, more likely one of the European 'Five Eyes' r/conspirotard types.
