#3 Just one warning: Once you use it, it's written to your cookie. You become the nic, and the nic becomes you.

It's all very Zen.

#30 I give it another 30 minutes before someone comes along to tell us that "Pic-a-Nic" is racist.

While you're fixing things, is it possible to make it so that the website (when entered) shows up linked to the name? I gave up putting my blog in the website space because it looked ugly.

#31 Seewhutahmean? With a long nic and a long URL it can also mess up the page width.

#38 I can't speak for anyone else but, with my porous memory, I can guarantee I won't recognize anyone by their new nic. I lost track of several people I was fond of when they changed to whatever Fred's previous cool anonymizer gave them. Even though for a while they parenthesized their former name.

Hi, Mike Sylwester! Who had you been hanging out anonymously as?
