    Tbh the only annoying part is when I try to enter my 2fa code and it's already expired. Just typically too lazy to log back in and out of each account individually

    lol that is indeed frustrating. :P Filling in passwords is also one of the reason I don't use my alts on the forums. :) Because my "last seen" data isn't hidden, people can see that it's been months since the account has been online (if the through some magical portal came across them in the first place :P), and therefore (as far as I know) won't ever contact my alts. :)

    I have another, arguably more serious, question though: what does this name mean and where does it come from? It strongly reminds me of the name "Evnika", but the chance of you knowing that (name) is small (and that doesn't explain the "llh" :P).

    I suppose this goes to show how often I check my alt accounts :P The Greek letter Eta (Η, η)'s uppercase letter is an Η, however is pronounced as if you were saying the letter "e". Therefore when the Greek word for Greek, Ελληνικά, is transliterated, it turns into "Ellhnika".

    Ahhh, I see. Wouldn't it be "Ellenika", though?

    http://waffle.coffee/img1.jpg. Quite a few Greek people I've spoken to seem to prefer "Ellhnika" over "Ellenika". Also, when typing Greek with an English keyboard, Eta is typed with the H key.

    Oh, weird. I wouldn't be able to pronounce "Ellhnika" (= Elnika) but I can pronounce "Ellenika". I know η is in the place for h, I can read and write Greek myself too. ;) (had old Greek for 2 years :D)
