Hi boonebgorges
Thanks for the explanation. I suppose the reason why I think along those
lines is I feel usernames in the context of an online comminity are more
than just a means to authenticate. Why do we have usernames at all when
authentication can be done via an email address or even a numerical ID? I
think the @-mentions feature and having usernames in the URL are powerful
features of BP - features that aren't necessarily critical to WordPress if
you consider WP to be a CMS or blogging tool and not a platform to build
an online community.
