Re: Something that other forums have....

With a little script, it would not take long to get a full list of the members of this forum. And you don't need to be logged in!

Re: Something that other forums have....

Personably I wouldn't object - becuase I took care to use a user name that is not my login - ( very bad idea to do so I would suggest )
and doesn't reveal anything else really.
I'm on other forums that do have visible list and it is useful sometimes - you can see when people have last been online and if someone goes quite you can check they are ok.

It's probably not that hard to find someone on here without a list though.

I too have found member lists useful on other forums, and I think I've even wished once or twice that one was available here, although I can't actually remember why I have wanted/needed such a list.
