The proceeding are in the chat room... However I have a question; why is Imran's name a runon when according to the who's online his name is "Imran Siddiqui"?

What a w*nker thread.
Just trash it, rather than clutter any forum.

Same for me, I was looking at that myself. When I enter the chatroom, I become ProvostHarrison. I don't think it accepts spaces in the name.

And besides, this belongs in Apolyton/Community, not in the OT as it is discussing a technical aspect of the site.

Clearly, the chat room script can`t handle spaces in names. It does the same thing with my name.

No, mIRC doesnøt let you have spaces, much like the browser Iøm using doesnøt let me have apostrophes, instead replacing them with this crazy ø icon. Itøs a shame, really, as most people eventually try and type something like changing their nickname to something like "I am the greatest", and end up appearing as "I". Whoo...

Chat isn't evil yet. When Finns take over yet again, then it'll be evil. SUOMICHATTI FOREVER!

And now its time to to point out it happens to my name as well, in case no-one had guessed. Actually, it doesn't bother me much, I have many variations of spaces, no spaces, underscores and hyphens scattered over logins all over the internet.

Do you think the Apolyton community forum has, since the aboltion of post counts in the OT, become a place where clever individuals can do subtle spamming?

( and now the obligatory post )

Yeah it happens to me when I use my DL ( Alexander'sHorse )
