What's up with all the usernames with the numbers in them?
Like:
Jack1234
Jill5678
Joe654321
BINGO............................
Every time I come to this site I feel like I am playing Bingo........
I realize these numbers must be important to the member but can I win anything if I guess what these numbers mean?
Height, weight, age, IQ, zip code, address, phone number.........
BINGO............
Maybe we are headed toward numbers for our names instead of real names?
What were the names of some of those sci-fi movies?
You can call me #281 ........... -)

Those type names make it difficult to differintiate between legitamite user names and spammers. I have the same issue over at another boating site I moderate too.

My user name is my first initial - last name- and the model number of my favorite Porsche - the 928. I came up with this early in my internet forum days and used it to register to my first forum (a Porsche forum over 10 years ago). To be consitant I just kept using it.
I have more recently been using worththewake but most forums do not allow you to change your username and I find it wasteful to just create a new one and abadon the old.

Well, I was wondering why my avatar picture has all those numbers under it, I sure didn't put them there. I'm taking about the home page when I sign on.

Just be sure to use the 4-digit number in your username...easier to search for you.
;)

Unfortunately none of us listed below have 4 digits in our user ID number...... So that won't work.
Jay Fitz =19336
sraab928 = 838
Joe Kriz = 4
