    I'm just filling the form in now for my account.

    I see you guys have put your names in your email addresses, and not your nicknames or some weird personal meaningful blah blah.

    I've got a real boring real name, so was going to put flex at gmail.com, which well is a bit diff.

    Any reason for putting your real names in?

    Do you think it looks better when say, applying for jobs or giving somebody your contact address?
    Probably yes to that, so is that why you've chosen your real names.

    Anyway answer quick please, as I'm on the form now :D

    You wont be allowed to use Flex as its 6 characters limit.

    I used my real name as when it goes public you wont be able to get it as somebody else in the world is bound to take it. :biggrin

    im using mine as a quasi pro type email address
    its not my gaming ones, and its not my original spam infested one

    but it is professional looking and sounding
    i tried [email protected] but it was too short, and phoenix was taken (suprisingly, not)
    ryan.coates was the next best thing

    My names DanielHarrison has been taken.

    If I include my middle name DanielJames.Harrison then that's available.

    What do you think looks better.

    DanielJames.Harrison or

    DanielJ.Harrison

    Oooh I can't decide :blink

    help:!:

    or any alternatives that come to mind.

    I now have 5 invites to give away, if you would like one complete the two requirements without pleading or groveling and if I like what you did you will get a gmail account.

    They must be given away by tomorrow as I'm away for the weekend and I think some of these expire very soon. :biggrin

    Si, like I said, my real names been taken,a s in DanielHarrison, or with the dot.

    Why have you's got the dot anyway.Was it ebcause without the dot wad taken?

    So you think the little j looks better than a captial J?

    Hmm, maybe.

    I think I'll go for that, because DanielJames is a bit too long I think.

    Hmm, now can't decide whether to go for little or big J.

    Btw did I mention I'm the worlds worst decision maker lol:!:

    sorry, forgot the capital J. I'd say capital, to show it's an initial.:biggrin

    EDIT: but then again, why not just have all lowercase?

    Ok, I'll go for that.

    But can't decide whether to put a dot between the middle name initial and the surname or not.

    I know I'm ridiculous :oops:

    edit:
    Argggghhh, now more indecision.

    I must admit all lower case makes it easier to read for me personally, so other's may find this.

    Hmmm, not sure, :blink

    Edit:

    Ok I've finally done it, and I've gone for, wait for it............................................ :drummer .....................................................:

    [email protected]

    Can you make us one of those graphics Si, when you have the time please.

    Thanks a lot for this :super
