Why don't we replace one of those fields with a new entry for a more modern service that many of our members utilize - Facebook? I think ICQ is the least-used of all these. Of course, you could just add a new option if you wanted to retain them. So how does this idea sound? |

We could implement more fields in the profile page (or eliminate old ones), but it would be a matter of privacy. Some members here do not want to be known by their real names, and we have to respect that. We'll set up a vote page in the near future to see what the people want. |

For me, I have no problem with my real name, Silec is my real one But yeah, perhaps not everyone is like me in that case. |

Goddamn Electric Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,129 Member No.: 23,073 Joined: Feb 2nd 2007 Location: Fort Kickass | I thought it was your URL that you can only change once. Isn't the name thing still three times? And wait, your legal name ISN'T Nomake Wan!? This post has been edited by SgtXDNX on Aug 27 2012, 08:06 PM |

Are you really going to sit there and tell us we should just take this all on faith? | ||

You would be wise to shut your trap on the subject immediately. | ||
