Bit of a nitpick but how many users actually use a "Yahoo Messenger" or an "AIM Address" or an "MSN Messenger"? These might have proven more useful before the advent of SAX but with SAX/IRC/Discord I think having a TI-Planet ID, GitHub User, MyCalcs ID, and a YouTube lD would be far more useful than the current connection selection.
Even better, just have the user be able to add custom links, or just create more of them that would cover more use cases. Some ideas that come immediately to mind are:
-Github
-TI-Planet
-TI-Calc (scratch that, it's apparently already there)
-Omnimaga
-TIBD
-YouTube
-Twitch
-Steam/X-Box/PlayStation profile
-MySpace, like seriously it's 2021
I'm not sure how this is set up or how difficult it would be to add more things, but it definitely is a good idea, especially for people who could be seeking source code or more information from/about a user.

I think this would be great! I agree with the ones specified by Epsilon, but MyCalcs is also very important.
Strongly agreed on at least Github and Youtube. Some of the rest seem too specific to be relevant for this list (e.g. TIBD), and a few (sorry, Omnimaga ) are sufficiently inactive as to be not good candidates to add. I'd also say Twitter should probably be added.

Wait, is this me finding out MySpace didn't die?
