Dear all,
It's been a long-standing tradition of LDraw that proper names (personal and family name) should be made available. This is a request to all members of these forums to maintain this tradition.
This doesn't mean you cannot have a username. Many of us do. What it does mean is that your profile (access by Control Center->Edit My Profile) should contain at least one of your proper names and preferably both.
This also has a secondary benefit. It means that the Admins here can more easily identify likely link-spam candidates and delete them making everyone's life better. If we see someone who hasn't posted in a month or so and who hasn't filled in any details we'll know they're probably a spammer.
Thanks for your help,
Tim
