Just as a discussion point:- It might be useful at this early stage for new members to choose a 'member name' that people will be able to relate to.
If you use your own name as the 'member name' I would suggest that this would benefit the Forum site members so that a feeling of cameraderie will ensue.
If you meet 'John Smith' at a Rally, or already know him, won't it be better to discuss things in this forum if you know whom you're 'talking' to? If he's signed in as 'thoughtimightdoit123 you'll not be able to put a face the the writer.
Perhaps those of us who haven't done so may be able to email the Webmaster and have the 'member name' changed.
