sleepymoogle13, tenkuu, and one other that I can't remember at the moment.

These were made before Dantom intentionally enforced capital letters to prevent people from making stupid names like "longsword":

The longsword logs in.

I have a proc I use in my new projects for those names called capproc(), it makes anything it's used on have the first letter capitilized:

mob/proc/capproc(T as text)
    return "[uppertext(copytext(T,1,2))][copytext(T,2,200)]"

You use the proc Nadrew just posted in the post you responded to.

Using the proc I just showed you.
mob/Login
    ..()
    src.name = capproc(src.key)

What stopped the programmers from changing things within the game? Who would not understand it was just a name within the forums?

Mainly the fact that people are dumber than you think. ;-P

Offhand, I can think of jobe (at least, he used to be lowercase) and my friend saraisam.

That doesn't strike me as a great approach. I use similar code, but where I take issue is right here:
copytext(T,2,200)

Why are you limiting all text that runs through this proc to 199 characters? You can make that 0 instead of 200, or leave out that argument altogether, and get the whole text string. If you want to limit specific pieces of text you can always limit it before passing it to capproc().

Because it was mainly used for my say verb so I limited the length on it.
