[Welcome to the New Second Life Community Platform]

is there seriously no button to make a new thread?

[Viewer 2.3 Launches with Display Names]

I, Swedishfox Ghost, who have been  a member of Second Life for half of its life, detest the new changes to  new usernames. you may think it is not a big deal, you'll assume I'd be  running V2 and see display names.

the ugly fact is that, it is a  big deal, and I do not use V2, I do not see display names, all I see is a  first name that has the second half "resident".

as a business  owner its easy to help out a customer with an issue, but I see it as if  blahblah resident has a problem, I'd have a harder time remembering  individual people who have individual problems with anything of mine.

 

the other problem is, blahblah resident would be less unique compared to me or any other older resident.

ever  since in closed beta, Second Life users always had a first and last  name, for almost a decade without issue, why change that?

if you  think this is some pointless ramble, have you've noticed there was major  bugs for the new "residents"? some not only couldn't login in world,  but also could not login to the browser portion of Second Life to seek  out why they cannot login.

slowly as time goes, there's a high chance that we'd be over ran with blahblah resident, then run out of first names to use.

another  example of why this is bad, say a greifer used "Chad resident" then  gets banned, a legitimate user would later find out that "Chad resident"  is already taken, and banned, if the old name system was still in  place, "Chad ghastly" would be banned, and the legitimate user could  sign up with "Chad nelson".

I, as a old time resident, do see a  major problem with this, and the old name system needs to stay, would  anyone else stand up and agree with me?
