No, that's not the list I was referring to.  That list has been there since the inception of AA, and has always been publicly available.

Now are you trying to start a home coming argument with me. ;)


I noticed that you hadn't been posting, but you've been gone?  Where'd ya go, bro?

Oh come on guys.  I donated fifty bucks for cold burn, heh, in a way.  Well, I couldn't make it.  Evil Knievel adventure took me out of commission.  Can't ya make me a member (but without putting me on the list)?!!!  You know I'm Arizona Airsoft at heart.  Even though I'm a few hundred miles away.

Ahh, I stand corrected.  Why is it public?  If some members are concerned about their names being on the internet then why have a public list containing them?

ROFLMAO!  Why was this a non-issue for over 4 years, and all of a sudden it's a huge "security/privacy concern"?!  I mean, there was even a lot of pressure by other forum members (in the old forums) to enter all your legit info into your forum profile so everyone could see.  If anything, things have been IMPROVED in the sense of privacy.

Sorry, I just find this "all of a sudden" stuff amusing.   #-o

I personally don't think it is a big deal at all.  I don't even believe that having a real name on the internet is that much of a security concern.  I was just wondering why one list would be public and one would be private if they both contain real names.  Unless they contain substantially different data then it defeats the purpose (to an extent) of making one private.  I guess I should just trust that it was done this way for a reason.

The private one contains all the info that users are required to provide when they join AA and pay their lifetime membership fee.

That's why us old school Megaforce troopers gave our MF Alias!

Only total n00bs have their real name on the AA roster.

Paco's right though.  Old news.

So you think people shouldn't have a problem with their names, DOB, and town info being made available publicly as a result of these AA site profiles?

If you read my post lead, you would see that I find it humorous that this hasn't been an issue for over 4 years when even MORE info was available because people had the option to put MORE personal info into their old profiles than they do now.  ALl of a sudden, it is.    :-s

Amusingly enough my name doesn't bring up anything about me. My handle (ChayoteMu) does though.

That actual net term for that is "Ego Surfing" but he's right, I checked mine and nothing... besides you can get information from the county recorders office that has a lot more detail than what you list in your BIO
