Well I like the idea. People are forever pronouncing my name in weird ways.

Yeah, I'd like to clear up the confusion in pronouncing mine too.
But seriously, that is totally an off the wall, wacked out, crazy, and entirely sensible idea. I often (especially in irc) don't properly read names to pronounce them and just sort of sound them in my head as a sort of mumbled thing that somewhat fits the letters. I'd imagine it wouldn't be the easiest thing to tack on, but I'd say people like SpaceBass would like the confusion of their nicks to be cleared up.

p.s. Wow, I just noticed in the preview the similarities between the colour in the bass and the colour scheme of the forum. Coincidence??

Giskard

I like your idea Rogi ("Ro-gee", right? Razz

), mostly because I have some experience with what you describe... (it's funny when you have three groups of people saying "what do you mean 'how would I pronounce Giskard?' There's only one way to pronounce it, isn't there?" and then have all three groups have a different way Wink

)

It would pose a moderation issue though... you'd have to check what people upload to make sure it's not profanity or yelling or turn-your-volume-up-then-scream kinda stuff Neutral

I am having somewhat-horrid flashbacks to learning Linklater voice techniques in college by tossing around hand-made stuffed phonemes whilst speaking the sound they represented.

Bumpity.
Can anyone think of an unobtrusive way to integrate one of the three examples located HERE into the existing profile real estate?
