  40 &gt;<i>I know Andy has probably thought of this and it probably &quot;No use&quot; doing or
  41 </I>&gt;<i>is inneficient,
  42 </I>&gt;<i>
  43 </I>&gt;<i>But how about using rand()%1000 For guested nicks, cause i get too many nick
  44 </I>&gt;<i>collisions when services come back by people using Guest nicks already on
  45 </I>&gt;<i>the  server, services come back, try to guest someone to Guest1 and boom,
  46 </I>&gt;<i>nick collision.  I was just wondering about using ANY random number, instead
  47 </I>&gt;<i>of incrementing it from Guest1, This may help stop Nick Collisions and The
  48 </I>&gt;<i>same people getting the same nicks by about 99.999% (Windows 2000 Uptime
  49 </I>&gt;<i>report (The 5 9's))  :-)
