If I remember correctly, that thread is what spawned the "AKA:" section between your username and custom title. For those choosing not to use real names, if you could please put at least a first name in the "AKA" (also known as) field in your profile, so we all have a more formal way of addressing each other at competitions instead of asking around for various screennames. Or alternatively, if you already use your real name as your user name, put a nickname or screenname in the AKA section, as a way to identify yourself.

Overall I think using real names in one way or another gives a more personal feeling to forums like this, especially when 1) the community continues to grow, and 2) there is a very good chance many of us will meet in the real/offline world.
