Would you prefer to have your username on NP be all one word or have an underscore as a space if it's two words?

For example: spikesbarmie or spikes_barmie

cradetalvos or crade_talvos

pokemonmaster or pokemon_master

 

Just curious what the general opinion is.

    I know most people don't like underscores, but I find a UN to be easier to read with them but it sort of depends on the UN. With the two you gave as examples, I really don't like them without underscores, with other UN's it's ok sometimes if they don't have an underscore.

    Bit of a weird question... but for me, I reckon underscores, for the readability.

     

    Unless one's name is something like 'susanalbumparty', where the underscores would ruin the double entendre. :p

    yeah, the lack of capitals in UNs makes it hard.

    analbumparty :lol2: (did I get the double entendre right there?). That's a good way to get around the username rules TNT has. I should start making shell accounts with names like that.

    I don't have underscores on any of my accounts. It's not a big deal for me really, but on my main I'd prefer one word and no underscores.

    Nope. I hate underscores and numbers.

    I hate the fact that I have numbers on mine. Keeping my eye on an account that has no numbers either.

     

    Anyone know when a purge will take place?  :p

    I'm not a huge fan of underscores in UNs.  It makes the name look cheesy to me.

    I don't really care as long as there are not too many numbers in the UN.

    I'm new here, but like... no way, right? That was either a joke or an example?

    I had an underscore in my first acct, not really by choice. But I prefer w/o for sure. I don't think I've ever seen a UN with an underscore that I was like "ooh I like that" xD
