really not a hard problem, but what should happen when two people have the same name? (that could happen not so rarely, Hans Meier is a very popular name in germany for example....)

I believe NTLDR is going to help with this hack - I'm completely inexperienced when it comes to writing php. But anyway...you present a very good problem - dupe usernames. Since the site is limited to basically members of our Club, this shouldn't be too big of a problem. Those father/son's who do have the same names will need to enter a suffix like "Jr." or something. however, there is always a chance for error so a nice little error message would be good. Something stating "The Name(s) you entered are already registered. Have you registered before and forgot your password? If so, click here. If you haven't registered here before, please contact Rose in the Club office to complete registration" and maybe the account would go into a modded group or something...
