    Default I want a freaking way to know who's male and who's female at a glance dammit!

    Did you know Levia is a guy? Well, I didn't! I'm freaking tired of this genderbending BS everyone does behind my back, next thing I turn a corner, and BAM, Leeza is a guy or something! What do we want, pink names what we want!

    Or maybe it's me. Who thought Roogle was a girl?

    An admin could just edit the gender field into the postbit, that'd work. It'd be convenient, too.

    I usually know which sex people are.. or I just don't really care I didn't know if Roogle was a girl or guy, and I didn't really care earlier. I've never thought he was a girl before though.. He was just there Like other people at EoFF. I've known for quite some time that he is a guy though ;o

    I chose not to vote ;o

    Doesn't work for those of us that don't use male or female in that field

    Or those who lie about their genders, like me. well, we have the sex field hacked into the postbit on FG and most people end up putting 'witty' comments like "now plz" or something in their instead of their actual gender. hell, I'm guilty of that :o

    still, it'd be a bit convenient

    Then make the field so that it can contain only 1 letter. That way people wont be able to make jokes about it.

    Unless your gender is 'E'.

    Although I don't know if it's a joke.

    We used to have a hack that did just that when Acmlm was doing all that kind of stuff. When we finally removed it after people complained about loadtimes, everyone noticed the sudden increase of speed in the place. So basically, giong with the "Don't knock it 'til you've tried it" strategy on this one, we tried it and now we can knock it.

    *knocks it* Or something.

    Yeah, it's not worth it. Use the profile page, Nait. It's not the hardest thing to do.

    I know Levia's a guy 'cause he sent me his photos for the album and I looked at them and there was a guy in them and I was like "Oh."

    I like the pink/blue names, but I think I agree with BoB. If people really push for it then I can be swayed, but for now I'm gonna go with no.

    The way I see it, if you care that much about figuring out what gender a certain person is, just ask. There shouldn't be any need to change the board in some way when there's always the power of inquisition.

    I just assume everybody here is male until it's proven to me otherwise. That way, when you have to say who your favourite female member here is, you wont be made to look the fool when you accidently say a male like Raistlin, BoB or ShlupQuack.
