alternate nickname

It would be nice if Apex would use an alternate nickname if the original was already taken.

Unfortunately such feature won't work in practice, not on NMDC hubs anyways (in ADC there might be a way but I haven't really spared much thought to this).

Before someone goes and says that there is "ValidateDenide" (might have spelled it incorrectly, but can't be bothered checking), that is correct but many NMDC hubs use other means to give user this error so we can't reliably detect when nick is taken (or detect almost any other specific error for that matter).

a solution to this problem add the hub to ur favorites and set a different nick in properties apex wil connect to that hub with ur alternate nick.
