for some reason "font" means username.
i swear those women are slightly retarded.
because username was meaningless.
LSA had a store where people could buy the option to create a new username as much as they want. someone could change their name 100x in a day or more if they wanted.
plus the site allows users to post anonymuosly in certain subforums. all of this made it hard to keep track of who was who based on name alone.
so it could be very hard to identify someone claiming something or trolling. instead of going by name it was more reliable just to compare past posts to identify someone. so the "font" representing what they typed to create their lil online persona.
