I don't mind being a Category Guru. I would love it
The portfolio things would be less problems. Not so much problems to run into with work, repetitive names (how many "sakura_123" "sakura-123" and "sakuro 123" are there out there?) I don't think many people care about the yourname.theotaku.com thing. It's just not a thing you look at a lot.

This is why I don't like using subdirectories for user names. There's just too many restrictions on what characters you can use in them, compared to almost none for regular directories if you use the proper URL codes.
I vote for the first option, i don't mind losing the dash in my username and would much prefer to have things working 100% again on IE! I'd be interested in the post as well maybe as back up for Sabrina!
I quit using IE so I no longer have that issue. ^_^ Firefox for the win!
I think we need someone on the team whose goal it is every day is to go to the "Other" sections and compile a list of all the categories that come in for them and then every week send me an updated list.
Who would be interested here?
I'm good at that kind of stuff, being organized that is, so I'd be willing to help out with gathering information. ^_^ Especially since sending a list once a week is very doable.

When isn't Internet Explorer being obnoxious? :p
Anyway, whatever works best and makes the most people happy... I'll just stick to using Firefox myself.

Hmmm... seems that it won't affect me so I say go with the solution that is the least amount of fuss for you.
As for the other... I'm sure you'll find someone. :p

One of the reasons I really like theO is the fact that we can have spaces in our usernames! I hate the stupid little hyphens and underscores.

Hnnn...
That is a problem. Though I do like the new yourname.theotaku thing, it may be for the best if we got back to the original thing.
People aren't going to like the dashes... :P

I'd love to do something like that for the team. :)
I've always wanted to help out somehow.

Do whatever works the best. :p Obviously I am not affected by it and I stick to FireFox so I rarely have issues.
As for the other... good luck finding someone, though I'm sure you will.

I say go back to /portfolio/name.

First option sounds good to me. And cool putting the myotaku link up.

Aside from mandating a worldwide switch to FireFox? *shot*
Blarg. Wish I could be of help.

I vote for redirecting the links since I'm not a fan of dashes in my username.
