Reserved username list

This is the list of reserved usernames (pre-defined list of special banned and reserved keywords in names, such as "root", "www", "admin").
When we create a public system where users can choose a login name or a sub-domain name, we use this list to define which user names can not be used. The login authentication software verifies if the username is in this black list in the register validation process.
Some reserved keywords here are specific for our service (Postbit) and other are generic black listed and reserved names that we use for all other services with login and usernames.
Some websites forbid any generic names, short names (forbidden number of characters like usersnames with 1 or 2 characters) or also create lists of super famous people and companies so those logins can be reserved for future use.
We allow only valid characters in the username that for us are letters, numbers, underline "_" and minus "-" (if it is in the middle of the username). We don't allow dot "." because it is reserved as a subdomain separator.

Some of those reserved words are reserved because they are already taken by default domain names (www, ftp, pop, stmp, ns, ns1), other are used or reserved for internal use (devel, tests, scripts, support, search) and other are reserved for future use (mobile, music, games, newsletter, chat, downloads), other are default UNIX reserved logins (mysql, http, pop, postfix, webmaster, root).

Postbit.com access stats

We are implementing access stats for each user, so you can see your traffic statistics for each page that you have in your Postbit.

Postbit is also using external tools for analyzing global traffic data. We are testing tools like Google Analytics, Gauges (get.gaug.es), Mint (haveamint.com), KISSmetrics and others.
Postbit just started a few days ago and it appears in Alexa.com (global Alexa Traffic Rank), positioned as the site number:
