This should be in the off topic section seeing as it has nothing to do with stick online. And why doesn't it let you have Root in your name?

Perhaps it has something to do with the word rootkit, or the word root having any sort of relation to admin,moderator,owner. Anything that may label you as something that you re not. Root being the main part of "something" may be related to why you can't use it. Also, this should be in the off-topic section seeing as this section is for things relating to the game itself.

I guess it's not available because the word 'root' is the standard username in many MySQL databases, and SMF forums uses MySQL.
It could prolly be used in hacking or sometinhg else, just a guess.
