Hi Agos, We can change your name from "Agostinho Silva" to "Agos Silva", if you like so. However we can not just remove the last part of your name, because we should stay fair in respect to other people. The main reason, why everybody is asked to have both names, is that this forum is connected to the mailing list. Forum came almost 10 years after the mailing list, so the most community members were/are concentrated around the mailing list. The main contributors and authors of OSG are also prefer to use mailing list except of the forum.
Usually the communication in the mailing list is done through mail clients, which are set up to put realname in the from header. So the community is used to know both names of a person who is acting on the list. Forum introduced some kind of anonymity (nicknames except of real names) which was not that well accepted in the community. Hence we decided to force every forum user to follow the same netiquette rules as established over the last years during the mailing list age. I hope you and other people will understand that. best regards Art ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=22525#22525 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
