Hi everyone, We have just added this little ditty about using first and last names in your display names. Members under 18 cannot use their first and last name in their DISPLAY name. We also suggest that even if you are over 18 that you never use your first name with your last name when creating a Dispay name. (Note: User name is what you login with and Display name is the name others see) For a full copy of the rules see: http://binkybunny.com/tabid/54/afv/...fault.aspx once you change your display name, you can say this was previously (FIRST NAME ONLY) when you post for the first time with the new Display name. NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE YOUR DISPLAY NAME IF THIS NEW RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. .

Fixes Stuff. Thinks about Fixing stuff. Dreams about fixing stuff. Is it fixed yet?

I think it's just for safety. So people on here don't pick up stalkers or anything, especially since all the foum topics are viewable to non BB members.

Yes, it's just a safety precaution that we feel is necessary for our younger members and just a suggestion for our older members. It's for the same reason we have the "message" center now instead of just direct emails - so it can offer members a way to safely communicate with each other without revealing private emails unless they feel they can trust each other. We don't want to make anyone paranoid or frightented of course -- The internet is a great place for all of us to come together and have fun, but I think it's also smart to be cautious in this type of format.

No first or last name in your display name, so your forum name Frapp You're fine with your bunny's name in your display name.

I'm reading Binky Bunny's advice as "try not to use your 1st and last name together " correct? I don't think it matters if you mention you 1st name here or there.
