Privacy

[King Zarathu]

K, I remember requesting this a long time ago, and I'm going to do it again. I have more people backing me up this time.

I hate the fact that people can just randomly look my name up on Google and find this place. I just had a moron on another forum look my name up and find this place. It sickens me.

Advantages:

• More privacy
• Forums will grow more effectively if people have to join
• LoveForum doesn't get hacked as soon as a vB security exploit comes out

Disadvantages:
None.

-----------
Do not lock the thread. I have the right to argue my point.

I agree as it can prove to be very benificial for the forum. You know with having "cool" people such as Tone and all leaving the forum, this place is just so "uncool" now.

LoveAdmin, Eurasian was being sarcastic about Tone. He agrees with me.

I agree with me, and that's what is important. Gigabitch and Vashti agree with me, even if they think they don't.

Everybody agrees with me.


LoveAdmin, you agree with me too. Just admit it. Make things private. Please.

Someone who shall remain nameless is making me post in this thread and say that I agree, but what I REALLY want is a spell-check system.

Kill yourself.

Actually, I'm a little weirded out by the fact that you can google "gigabitch" and the first thing that comes up is on one of my posts here on LF. I must admit that the appeal of posting on certain other forums is that there is a feeling of community and privacy, while here on LF it kind of feels like I'm posting on a billboard.

Zarathu --- It has begun.

I am not that worried about the privacy thing with my nick as the first thing Google shows is a city name Jurupa (I am not joking either). But I also take steps to make sure my real name and stuff are hidden and are private as well.

But in some ways I do agree with Z that the forums should be made private and you have to register to see the posts. Ya it may make people not want to join, but there other forums that do this as well. Heck there are ones you have to pay to gain access to even. And some you have to pay a membership fee.

I also agree with Giga about the community thing as well. And with outsiders that can look in easly and do profiles on us (its not that hard actually), it can put us in danger.

[vashti]

I went through 10 google pages and couldn't find myself. This is obviously why I am not as concerned as skaterboy.

Got it.

I also agree with Giga about the community thing as well.

And therefore you agree with me, and therefore you are right.

WTF? Why is my SN the first thing that pops up, followed by some computer geek stuff, and then fourteen pages of Dutch porn?

[vashti]

My screen name is biblical, so I think most of the sites for my name were midrash, and a couple of artists, too.

Dutch porn? Dam that must suck, oh wait.............

[TDurden]

I agree about the privacy thing. It's not a good thing that it's relatively simple to find your name in google on this place considering a lot of what is posted isn't meant for certain people to read.

SEE LoveAdmin?! I'm not the only one who agrees with me!
