Bug? Usernames with a space

I've noticed this morning that I cannot display user pages where the user names contain a space in them.

Example names:
These People
Jason Lenker
Eric KLASEN

We cleared out all usernames containing spaces. When those guys log back in, they'll be asked to choose new usernames. Until they do, they won't "exist" for other users. In fact, if you look at your friends list links, you'll notice these users' links contain numbers rather than names. We only allow users to find each by name, so you won't be able to get to their pages this way.

You'll need to delete those guys from your list and watch for them to pop up again with new usernames. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Will do, thanks! :D

Just an FYI for anyone removing these. When you remove them you'll get an error page saying either that the page doesn't exist or that there was a problem performing the action. It has actually removed them from your friends list though. Go back to your profile and refresh the page and you should see them vanish.

Hi Jen,
Thanks for communicating and offering me sets.
I would like to get New York Noir, maybe I need to wait till I get more tokens (1 left)
