Restrict your profile and/or don't use real or relevant information. Nope, not concerned. I don't use this username anywhere else, don't have any personal info except a junk mail email address in the profile.

Don't care. I don't have my name in there. I do like that the name I use on my resume is not a name that would be useful for googling me, because I use my middle name for just about everything except my resume and official documents.

Isn't that the idea behind a public forum?

Accountability for what someone does on the internet, there is a novel idea.

I think the OP is a little slow.

And I don't care if people can see everything I've ever posted on the internet. I'm very careful about what I post. I post fully knowing that anything I say can come back to bite me, in the future.

I'm betting on no one important caring about the inane shit we discuss on here.

Adding disallow to robots.txt as well as requiring a login to view users profiles is what a lot of forums do.

I can see there is a low intelligence among the few in this thread by the previous comments.

Better than having every detail of my life on Facebook or Twitter. At least here it's been the same damn info for 4 years, unless you want to spend the time to research every single post (ha, I would feel sorry for the bastard who went and did that).

What about all the rich millionaires who look through ATOT everyday to hand out free money?

its a matter of personal privacy.

I would like to change my profile name to L0Ke418yOPunanI

 

[l0cke]

Cool, now I am getting PM spammed with out peoples personal info.

Mods, ban this sick filth.

Also, if you really wanted to find personal info on me, wouldn't heatware be the best place the check instead of some spam site?
