Pick A Username
Pick A Username

Your Compsoc username is important. It has the following functions:

  • It allows you to log into our server and website
  • It is your email address:
    username@compsoc.nuigalway.ie
  • It is also the location of your webspace on the system:
    http://www.compsoc.nuigalway.ie/~username

Your username can consist of lower case letters, numbers and hyphens. Usernames are allocated on a first come first served basis. Many usernames will already have been allocated to other members or are reserved for system usage. The Compsoc Committee and Admin Team reserve the right to deny a username request.

Username Check

If you have thought of a suitable username then you can check to see if it is taken already here:

Just enter the username you want to check and click submit.

Notes

Remember that this system only gives an indication if a username is free. It may be reserved for other usage.

Also, bear in mind that if you intend to use the server for project/course work in future having a username such as 'pornking' or 'terroristbomber' isn't exactly perfect (and yes, people do have to get them changed for that reason).
