Because of the comments posted by users recently, in thirty days from today (August 20) your real name will have to appear in either your screenname (for New Users)or in your post signature. This is also being done because of the huge amount of spam requests we get every day for forum approval.
The United Four Wheel Drive Associations Forum has required from their beginings that you could only use your real name as a screenname. Unfortunately that horse has already left the barn, and we can't go back.
Example: Jane_Doe or even Jane_Doe88YJ is ok. If you already have a sceenname then your post signature or personal text (ex. mine to the left says PA Jeeps-President which is my personal text and my post signature is Wayne Fish) will have to contain your real name. If it's not done by the deadline your screenname will be deleted. You will then have to re-register on the forum and start over. If I find out that you used a fictious name you will be banned. If you think this violates your right to anonymity, well, you would be right. Wayne
