So I spend five minutes lurking in the Chat and this is what I see...

Well, often somebody comes in, makes an alias, and is never seen again. It is irritating. I was going to make a "Sparky" for my robot on the Tree, but it was taken.

I was going to take over Sparky some time ago, but then ran into this. So I now call on Haken to "Free Sparky" so that the rightful owner, The Real Me, may have him! Haken, how 'bout it??

Uh, well, considering that the person who took "Sparky" came along way before I had the idea, I think it is a case of first come, first serve.

Besides, if the "Sparky" alias got freed, Rat would take it and torment me endlessly!

Maybe there's another way to get the same name.
I see "BROWNCOAT" in chat a lot now, and they seem new, yet if you look up http://www.fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?un=browncoat you see: Member Since: Friday, December 27, 2002 10:23

So maybe SPARKY or something, if logins allowed other characters I'd suggest S.P.A.R.K.Y. but no non-alphanumeric character seem to be allowed as I tried for Black_Jack_Rackham.

There should be a way to delete profiles that are no longer in use, or were only briefly used. *shrug*

ummmm....Marillion
