The thing is... what makes for a better user experience... being able to choose their own login after three different attempts or being assigned a login that they can use right away to sign in?

I've always wondered... at what point do you piss off a surfer by making it difficult for them to choose a login? You guys should see some of the stats. It's dumbfounding. Surfers will error out the join form 2, 3, 4 times before it actually works... if it ever does. By that point, a lot of guys just leave. I don't blame them.
