Why was my screen name changed?

Before it was 00CamaroonZ28
Now it's 00CamaroonZ28.

That just sounds stupid.

Can a mod please change it back for me. Didn't see anyone on the members list with it.

Unfortunately, this is a result of the censor/filter that was suppose to correct the shortened version of the word Camaro. Unfortunately, it's going too far with it's changes and changing (displayed) user names that match the pattern while the user name itself is not actually changed on the back-end. In the original poster's case, it's changing a certain shade of red to Camaroon. Although this could be fixed with a patch, I'm guessing it's going to create more problems than it solves.

This issue can squarely be faulted on me for trying to censor/filter the shortened version of the word Camaro, as requested, without doing any major core rewrites or finding/installing/or producing a plugin that does it as this version of vB will eventually be replaced with vB 4 and things may not be compatible to carry over.

Fortunately no damage or physical changes are made so the changes can be reverted. I've reported the issue.
