Here is the script for checking username availability for voat.co. You'll need to change the directory that contains the words.txt file.

~/projects/misc/voat_username_avialability/index.sh

IFS=$'\n' read -d '' -r -a lines < ~/projects/misc/voat_username_avialability/words.txt
for x in "${lines[@]}"
do
  echo "${x}\n"
  curl --data "userName=${x}" https://voat.co/account/CheckUsernameAvailability
  sleep 2s
  echo "\n"
done

~/projects/misc/voat_username_avialability/words.txt

Very sexy. Good job using only clean usernames to check. I'm sure those are all free considering people only like names with fap in it.
