I tried to change my name to Guest and to my extreme disapointment, it said that the name was already taken. Is there actually a member named guest (because if there is, they have been incredibly invisible), or is it just a name that the board doesn't allow? -------------------- *I am not a guest.

No. Guest is reserved for guest posters, a feature that allows nonmembers to post. This feature is often disabled by admins due to its obvious flaws. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

Well, I have the name Guest on other forums that use Guest for guests. Until I got an avatar my name was displayed almost identically to a guests -------------------- *I am not a guest. Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00 |

So obviously it varies from forum maker to forum maker. No biggie, really. Just find an even more creative way to be named guest. one that's closer to guest. Or kill some people for no real reason. Either 1 will work. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

You know, most message boards today don't consign you to be guest, but allow you to choose any username you want, or they have special prefixes / suffixes to add to that username that you choose, so as not to be confused with actual members, per se. Guest accounts are rare. -------------------- Song of the Pack -- An Online Multiplayer Wolf RPG!~ Posts: 223 | Registered: Friday, October 26 2001 07:00 |

Just change your name to Beetlebug's Playmate, and be done with it. -------------------- - The Great Mister Posts: 972 | Registered: Tuesday, October 28 2003 08:00 |
