Undefined method error on signup

I have a table 'Users' with various columns. One of those columns was username. I decided to remove the column with a migration. After doing so, I tried to create a new User via a signup form (create action) but am getting an undefined method error for username and I'm not sure why. The error is being thrown on @user.save.

Here is the relevant code, first the users controller's actions, and then the actual form being submitted. 

def user_params
  params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation)
end

def create
  @user = User.new(user_params)
  if @user.save
    session[:user_id] = @user.id
    redirect_to @user, notice: 'Thank you for registering!'
  else
    render :new 
  end
end

<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
  <%= render "shared/errors", object: @user %>
  <fieldset>
    <ol>
      <li class="required">
        <%= f.label :name %>
        <%= f.text_field :name, size: 40, autofocus: true %>
      </li>
      <li class="required">
        <%= f.label :email %>
        <%= f.email_field :email, size: 40 %>
      </li>
      <li class="required">
        <%= f.label :password %>
        <%= f.password_field :password, size: 40 %>
      </li>
      <li class="required">
        <%= f.label :password_confirmation, "Confirm Password" %>
        <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, size: 40 %>
      </li>
    </ol>
    <p>
      <% if @user.new_record? %>
        <%= f.submit "Create Account" %>
      <% else %>
        <%= f.submit "Update Account" %>
      <% end %>
    </p>
  </fieldset>
<% end %>

Any thoughts? Stack trace, as requested:

Read the stack trace, it tells you what's wrong. Take a peek in your User class. Maybe you have something like:

validates_presence_of :username

or

validates :username, presence: true
