I remember hearing about them, never bothered with them though because the arcade machines said that winners don't use drugs.

I mean, that really just depends whether or not you really care what others think about your screen name and its "reputation." I guess it also depends on if you identify with your screen name or believe yourself to have some claim to ownership over it.
