(Whiteboard: [rel:03/21/2012])

IRC nicks were moved over to usernames, but it seems not sanitized properly, so usernames like "odin, odinm" exist. This causes problems because they aren't valid Django Auth usernames (less of a big deal) but are also not caught by our current URLconf (which doesn't check for spaces/commas -- bigger deal). This will cause 500 errors on any page with a link to an un-resolvable profile URL.
The fix here is to write a migration that changes all usernames to valid ones. Working on it.
