I stumbled over a neat system I found when link hopping from TheriThere which looks like a great idea for us to add to this site as it seems a handful of other, otherkin and therian sites are also using it, and best of all it's compatible with PHPBB which I think this forum is using.

The system is called OpenID, and what it is, is a system in which you have a roaming user ID that you can use on multiple websites, which sounds great to me because, for example we can prove it's us when we go to other sites. I noticed Live Journal also uses it, which a lot of otherkin seem to use. I think it'd be great if I can prove the 'Dafydd Edward Dragon' in a bunch of sites I go it are all actually me, and no someone trying to mimic my name.

If interested in installing OpenID into the forum, I found the info at: http://openid.net/ 
For direct link for PHPBB-OpenID component, it's at: http://phpbbopenid.com/

Does this sound like a good idea to install into the site? As well ask sister sites? Being able to cross-identify otherkin I think would be a great idea, I wish there were other universal ID system like this.

..and another point is most of us already have an OpenID to prove who we are if you add this system: http://openid.net/get/

Cool! Then we can see how it works when you apply that, then?

No.  Completely optional.  Logging in will be just the same as it is now unless you decide to tie your openID into it.

I could see if they have it over on the Everything Dragon forums, in that case I will use it.
