I don't feel comfortable with my first initial and last name being as my username. Could I have it set to Michael (my first name)?

You're in luck! We'll be allowing username changes very shortly.

You need to rebuild the cache and posts everytime we change our username, by the way. Might wanna set up a Cron job or something. ;)

Thank you for pointing this out. There were a few issues with posted by names on the forums because phpbb writes the poster names into the database instead of user ids. This should now be fixed when someone changes their username. In addition, I have manually edited all the posts to update anyone who has already change their username.
