I've been active in many Forums since 2008, and the information for registered members has always been publicly available. I remember only one instance where the owner decided to block guests from seeing the members list, however after a while he opened it again when he couldn't see the sense of blocking it. For starters there aren't many people who make a study of the information. And if they did, I doubt there are any benefits to be obtained other than some page clicks for post4vps. Also, I'm sure some of the Sponsors would be happy to be identified by guests as that's the purpose why they are using post4vps to promote their VPS business.

However @F7N you do have a right to privacy of your information and if you are worried I could make the following suggestions starting with the tools in your User CP where you can control the user information that is displayed in your forum profile. If this is not enough and you feel you need to hide your Forum identity from public viewing, you could always apply to post4vps to change your user name to something different and we could archive your posts for you (within reason of course).  If you want this, can you please let us know in the User & Staff Private Discussion forum.

For now there doesn't seem to be complaints from any other users and we will keep things as they are. If there are any users who do have a problem can you please create a thread in the User & Staff Private Discussion forum and we will try and help you as much as we can.
