Dont get me wrong, I dont dislike the guy. But, human cloning aside, I'd rather not be his 656th doppleganger. Is there any way of changing this to my real name?

You show as a jbiga in SETI if your SETI prefs are set to not display your user name. You can change your SETI display name, but our current SETI stats will not catch the name change. I used to fix that manually, but have stopped doing so since SETI is within weeks of going to the new codebase.

The new codebase offers an additional option we have not posted about before. I can set a custom name that will override the SETI display name. In our stats, you would show whatever name you wished, while keeping an anonymous name in the official stats.

Note: the new codebase is smart enough to follow name changes without manual intervention. Our existing history will be imported, same as on the other projects.
