As for "free(ing) up user names that were taken by non active members..." I'd rather see folks challenged a little with their creativity. When Tiki Central first opened for business almost everyone wanted to be TikiPulpit, but of course that name got snatched up right away. So as a result of pushing folks creativity a little we have TikiPew, TikiHymnal, TikiSteeple, TikiBaptismalFont...And so on. Far more interesting.

I think we should have a thread, where the existing members devise a list of new user names, which the newcomers can then select from when they become a member, if they are unable to choose one themselves. It can be a tough decision, when joining a group, when the first thing you need to do is come up with a unique identifier. Here are a few (lame?) possibilities that I have thought of

volcanojumper
sacrificed-virgin
eyehigh-in-maitais
my-oh-maitai
sourpisco
kooky4uke

I would also like to see someone devise a way to determine who posts the shortest average posts, and who posts the lengthiest posts -- purely for curiousity purposes. Anyone want to write a character counting program that works its way through each thread?
