I think that kind of personal interaction is disqualified here, unless at a very
modest level. The reason probably is, that this would clutter an attempt to make
this a serious forum for computer chess. In principle that's okay if you want to
make sure that "serious people" don't run away, but I don't think a little
conversation about other topics, now and again, would hurt anyone. That has
happened, but not often enough.

When you think of the silly arguments conducted regularly by serious members as
well, then kind personal interaction is preferable. The sisterforum GCF is more
suitable for that kind of endeavours, since there's no moderation. At least not
by any physical being known to me.

Regarding truthfulness of identity. I believe that all members, no matter when
they joined, should use their real names. There are no menacing threats to those
that do AFAIK. It is a bit silly IMHO to assume that you're important enough to
be harassed.

There's even a small message board for the chatty visitors. And a guestbook.

Best wishes...
