> Hi,

> We are currently writing a script in PHP that allows a user to register
his

> Our problem is the following: what can the script do if the requested
> nickname is already in use?

> Therefore, I wanted to know your ideas on how to work around this problem.
> At the moment, we're thinking about trying to modify services to allow a
> certain user to register nicknames without needing to take them first.

possible
