Something that other forums have....

[#1]

and PN's community forum apparently does not have, is a list of members. is there a reason for the lack, as on other sites I for one have found it useful.

[#2]

would be a very long list over 10 000 at this moment

[#3]

an what would be the reason for such a list be?.
hope we get an opt in box to tick

[#4]

Not as long as some! I know one that has 22645 pages capable of holding up to 10 board names.
You don't need any opt in boxes: you don't click  on the link button, as in this http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/ example.

Could you explain why you would find it useful please - I'm aware of the facility on other forums and have never had an issue with it not being available on here.

We do have a list.
You just can't see it.

Isn't this something to do with the Data Protection Act?

Objection

I know that other forums do have this feature - but I for one have never found a positive use for it? 
I would vote against making the feature available.

I believe that one of the main reasons why this shouldn't be available is that, unlike Digital Spy where the usernames are just that, a lot of posters on here use their Plusnet account name as a username and that certainly shouldn't be generally available as a list

@lucerne What information would you expect to see in this list?
Just Googled this thread title and inevitably it's at the top of the list.

i thought that would be censored my self
my feelin is this if its not all ready come across is that a list of are usernames may or maynot be grabed by some one for personal gain.
yeah maybe a slim chance of this happening an i maybe over reacting abit about it but i just dont see a resonable benifit for having a  list of 10,000 odd usernames  in conjuction with this small risk

[#14]

If the list were to be unlocked it would have to be opt in to have your name appear on the list. I'd bet less than 1% of the members of these forums would do so. The whole thing a pretty pointless diversion of effort when there are plenty of other far more important issues to which we would like resources allocated by Plusnet!

[#15]

Agreed (wot jelv said).
