perhaps some username similarity checking could be implemented?

Seems quite impossible, imo. I might not have much php experience, but overall I have programming experience, and I do not believe there is a way to do that very well. There are sooo many things to check, let alone any symbol/number/letter possible on the keyboard can be used towards a username. In my scenario, checking for seven to se7en or even VII or simply 7, we would have to do that for eight/8/?ight (see the accent there?) There would be too many things to do there and there is no noticeable pattern there, so therefor it is an impossible thing to do where there is a lack of limitations.

I hope that makes sense o.o
