Alright alright.  You guys are missing my point.  I know nearly every single person who has posted in this thread.  The point is this:  People who are new don't, and it makes it hard for new people to integrate into our community.  I'm not saying that you should be *required* to post your actual name, but I think that it'd be good for it to be an option.  Posting your name in a thread isn't really going to be helpful to a new person a few years down the line.  I was trying to start a conversation about this, not get people to say HEY BRAD IT'S <PERSON YOU KNOW ALREADY>!
Too busy being AWESOME to listen to your whining.

lol i appreciate you trying to help with my point Brad. I still think it would be cool to go to BG even with "hello my name is" stickers.....

OHHHH you're Raistlin and you're from Abington eh?

I suppose that would help, but it still doesn't fix the issue that keeps happening in the Abington campaign:

You have a game against Firstname Lastname.  You need to PM Firstname Lastname to set up a game.

Firstname Lastname's username is SKIPPYMCFLUFFERTONS124124331!!011.  Whodathunkit.
