Remove the custom nickname function from the PDA's messenger app

It's annoyingly difficult to figure out who half of the people are on the in-game relay's DM list when they change their usernames to silly me-mes without any sort of unique identifier to keep track of who they actually are, and that's even if they remembered to connect to it in the first place. There's got to be a better way to go about this.

the nickname function will be superseded once the NT chat system is rewritten to go alongside persist computer accounts which is all coming as soon as i'm done helping set up things for KOTW

 

rest assured, i am aware that the current situation kinda blows ass all around

I disagree. The nickname system leads to a realistic outcome of people who distrust the corporation, like Dregs, not using their real names on the 'net and instead using an online persona to act through.

I'd hate to see it removed. Nickname system allows for the fun of anonymous posting, and was always the best part of the chat relays. I'd end up using the chat relays significantly less if the anonymity was removed.
