You can take the URL wish out of your sig now
Yes I could, unless of course the user can SET HIS OWN url which is possibly different than the username (just like myspace).
I like the username = url much more. the site I'll be using it on is very cut throat and people would try and register other people's names....however, it does make user names with spaces a little harder.

I can see that for sure. Once they get to a certain size that would become an issue.

Bugger!
I never thought of usernames with spaces in them. 
Is there any way to prevent people from registering new accounts with usernames that include spaces?

I've typed the usernames into their urls on my site and it automatically puts a % in the space and it works. but I'm not sure if that would work on all systems...

It does work but urls of the form...
www.mysite.com/user name or
www.mysite.com/user%20name
are not best practice.
People will forget the space in the first example and the second one is just pish.
