You may have heard about the , coming this Spring. Among the many great new features coming with this launch is a single login account and user profile across eteamz and Active.com. This is a perfect opportunity for us to roll out a new feature that has been requested by many of you: unique member nicknames. Your nickname, or display name, is how you will be known in the eteamz and Active.com communities, and is shown along with all your message board posts and your user profile.
This change is coming very soon for eteamz members, and rather than choose nicknames for everyone, we wanted to give you a chance to stake your claim to your own unique nickname. Most of you probably already have a unique nickname, so this will be easy for you. All you need to do is go to and update your profile with the nickname you???ve already chosen. If someone else beat you to it, or if the nickname you have doesn???t work (only letters, numbers and the underscore (???_???) are allowed), you can choose a new nickname.
After Thursday, March 15, 2007, any eteamz member that has not selected a new, unique nickname will have one assigned. We???ll try our best to make it similar to your current nickname, but we may have to do some special tricks to make it unique among our more than 3 million active members. The sooner you get to it, the better chance you have of being the only ???Mike??? or ???Coach??? on eteamz. And if you don???t feel like doing this for yourself, then please consider doing it for the eteamz customer support staff, cause they???re going to have to go through all the leftover accounts by hand, and they???ll get no dessert until they???re done!
