URL Name

Ok, I somehow get a little nervous if someone askes me for my a-m-v.org profile and how they can find it, since you can't really tell people your ID or the url:

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... _id=118825

So I would suggest to do it like deviantART does it just using the users name for the url; for example

http://wordsoffarewell.deviantart.com/

for amv that'd be http://warheart.animemusicvideos.org/

I don't know anthing about programming or how stuff like this works but I think this might be a good idea; also for people who link to the profile on other pages since you already recognize the name in the link and moreover it's way easier to memorize for people and it just seems way more organized. So if it does not take to much effort to change, you might want to look into it.

Hey, sounds practical and basic enough to work. I agree with the suggestion, would totally support it. I presume it wouldn't be that hard to program in either.

Maybe not my top wish for the site, but hey, if any of the code monkeys can give this a shot, it'd be total

Ok, some people in the IRC did discuss this matter a bit and it came out that the database might have some problems with it and that the ...

... variant would be easier to programm. I think it's a good alternative if the original idea would turn out to be to hard to transpose.
