In the registration you are asked for a KGS handle.

The thing is that I use two handles on KGS: calm and RabidKyus.

I also have accounts on Wbaduk/CyberOro and igs ( though I don't play on those ) which
I would want to include in my info.

I suggest that the site be modified in two ways: accounts be stored with server names, and each person has a main account and multiple alternate accounts.

Thank you.

I think the purpose of the KGS handle was to help people find each other for the L19 Tournament that is ongoing. That being said, and despite the fact that I do not use anything but KGS, I see no problem with allowing fields from multiple Go servers, and for multiple accounts as well. For now, though, you could just use your signature space to show them.

It's actually easy to add more of these. What servers are popular enough to make it worthwhile? IGS, WBaduk, Tygem, OGS and DGS come to mind; I don't know if we need to add all of them. We could also add a catch-all for other servers (e.g. you could enter "IGS: foo, DGS: bar, Tygem: baz"

I've modified the KGS one to allow for a bit more space so you could enter more than one handle (e.g. you could enter "calm, RabidKyus" in the box now).
