It is well past time I actually join. Is the subscribing functionality functioning? Where is it?

At the same time, I will change my username. How do I do that?

No subscription function currently. I don’t know the time frame or any extra details. Sorry.

Name changes are going through @engineer_comp_geek at this time. Contact him via the link I provided if he doesn’t jump into the thread.
