Filling out your BIO information.
« on: February 02, 2005, 07:35:30 AM »
Why is it that so many of you do not put your names and ages in your BIO?  It helps the rest of us to know who we're talking to and gives us a little more insight other than just having a handle to deal with.  Please fill out your BIO's if you haven't done so already.

Harley  

Maybe it's just my law enforcement background talking, or even my normal state of paranoia.  But ain't it a little SKETCHY to post your name and DOB in an internet forum?

I'd put the toe of my boot in one of my kid's butts if they did that.

Not to mention that I know adults who have been thoroughly screwed over via idenity theft.

True, but a first name wouldn't hurt, and we can forgoe the dob and just post an age instead.  It's just nice to know who and what we're dealing with.

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

For that reason, I chose to leave out the person's name...  if they are an AA member, then we already have their name in a secure and private database.  I thought it would be more useful to have the age feature here since it wasn't the best idea to have both, as lead pointed out, for privacy reasons (since the profiles are public).  I do need to add a few more fields to the profiles though, for people to put in a little bio, message, guns, etc.  I hope to get to that soon, but I haven't had much room to breathe at work lately.

I hope you don't mean this one...

http://airsoftarizona.com/membership/am ... member.asp

I found it doing a Google Search of the exact phrase "Aaron Shoults" (my name).  It contains the real names and usernames of most members and is accessible even when I am not logged in (I double checked it with another computer).

i dont think that is the list. That is just a list of actual AA members. The list paco is talking about is the list of EVERYONE who posts on this board.

Yeah, that's the ONLY list that matters!  If you're not on that list, you're not cool.  If you not on that list, you are a KID!  That's all there is to it! 8)

I beg to differ (see bold sections below).

Quote from: "From the link I gave..."
The server is pulling a listing of current AirsoftArizona lifetime members sorted alphabetically by last name (give it a minute, there are a lot of members to pull from the database).  If you do not see your name in the list below, we do not have you on record as an AirsoftArizona member.
