    If you can (politely) convince every single member we have at EoFF with a number in their name to choose a username without numbers, then I might begin considering this request.

    Well I'm sorry. And I'm not trying to be offensivee, but you are being rude about this. It was just a suggestion, I wasn't saying you must do this. =\

    I think FF-based names and names with excessive numbers in it are a good thing to have. If we ban those, we have to convince those people who would ordinarily use such names to paint "STUPID" on their foreheads so that we could still tell who they were before they piss us off.

    I have to agree with Shlup on this one. Yeah, it's annoying, but banning them? It's just absurd.

    However, I do like Bleys's idea. xD

    I think somebody needs to edit the user registration form and put next to the username section "For god's sakes, be origional."

    I thought we'd all decided people who number their screen names a long time ago. It should be common knowledge by now that numbered or FF-related names are a sign of stupidity. :rolleyes2

    I'm waiting for one of them to pop in this thread and get indignant.

    Of course, that won't happen because they're too stupid to check this thread, right?

    Perhaps this thread should be moved to the FFX-2 forum, that should get them going.

    huh?
    I don't know if banning the people who have numbers or FF related names in their names is a good idea. Yeah, tis quite annoying when you have so many numbers in your name that it could be your phone number, address and birthday, but sheesh, let them do what they want. If they want to type in all of those numbers, go ahead and let them. Some of the people with FF related names *as said somewhere else in the thread* thought that their names had to be that way and therefore named them so.

    *i guess*

    That was me, and I was being ironic. I don't think those members are at all stupid. My screen name used to be Black Mage 121, after all.
