    I noticed as of now, there are only two members with numbers in their names on the top list:

    Jesse1, Aemilius Blight, Aerio, chrisguapo69, Citizen Bleys, Cruise Control, darkchrono, DarkLadyNyara, Dragon Mage, Dragoonknight, Elite Lord Sigma, Faris, Goldenboco+, Hambone, Kirobaito, Lauz, LunarWeaver, Outer Heaven, Raven Nox, Raytien, Roogle, Ryushikaze, Scarmiglione, XandrewX

    The topic is, do you think numbers in usernames make it look untidy or impersonal?

    I'm not too fond of them (hence the pending username change request).

    Numbers ain't bad, you two are just the only ones with numbers at the moment.

    I think that a user name containing numbers has a higher chance of looking untidy than a user name without numbers. However, I also believe that numbers can—if used strategically—be used to augment the name (i.e. nik0tine.)

    These days my feelings are restricted to the user name, and I do not let them affect how (I) feel about the person. I admit to there being instances in the past where I have thought lowly of those with numbers in their names, but those foul ways have since been changed.

    It seems a little unoriginal but other than that, I don't really care.

    Do numbers look good or what?

    They imply unoriginality.

    For first impressions, higher preference is given to the newbie without numbers or ff characters in their name. Second impressions depend on how well they handle the first impression.

    Yay! Rubah agrees. I knew it was true. Like I said, I'm really biased about numbers in usernames. I usually don't even pay attention to the people who have them in their usernames. (Jesse1 being one of the exceptions) Man I'm shallow.

    I think that any member with numbers should consider the fine art of changing their numbers into the word "NUMBERS" always caps lock and then maybe I will like them more but they won't like me because I don't have the "NUMBERS" always caps lock in my name but I can still admire them from afar and maybe watch them post on Eyes On Final Fantasy Forums.

    I don't like having numbers in my name on forums or most places I go. But occasionally on stuff like e-mail or AIM or other things where there are already like 13490518 million names taken... yeah I'll go with the numbers. (normally I just stick "21" at the end of "Pikestaff"... why 21? Dunno. It just seemed like a good number.)
