Validation Rules

This is frustrating I did this because I was sure this was it but apparently isn't.

Code:

public function _username_exists($username)
{
  if ($this->users_model->is_username_available($username))
  {
   $this->form_validation->set_message('username', 'Testing2');
            return FALSE;
  }
  else
  {
   return TRUE;
  }
}
    
    public function _email_address_exists($email_address)
{
  if ($this->users_model->is_email_address_available($email_address))
  {
   $this->form_validation->set_message('email_address', 'Testing2');
            return FALSE;
  }
  else
  {
   return TRUE;
  }
}
