Usernames consisting of people's first and last names feels corporate. It would be a bummer not to have any mechanical_fishes.

- davidw 18y agoOne thing that might help just a bit is to more prominently encourage people to add some contact information in their profiles. It is, unfortunately, fairly rare.
- nailer 18y agoWhat about FirstnameLastinitial? E.g., I'd be Mikem, rather than nailer.
- showerst 18y agoMy guess is you're not the only MikeM, which leads to yahoo-esque usernames (I'd likely be TimS223 or something), and by that point you may as well allow real nicknames.
- robotrout 18y agoThanks mate!
- Xichekolas 18y agoI didn't realize until this moment that there was a mechanical_fish and a robotrout... am I missing out on a joke or something? Next I'll see a reply from cyberguppy.
