We appreciate those suggestions; well, we will consider that.
We have a couple of concerns, namely that folks wouldn't be encouraged to join if they had to first sign up to even see/read the boards. We realize that is how some other parenting boards operate, but that always turned us off.
Not sure if we even changed the boards that the privacy issues wouldn't come back again. If someone wants to get to the boards and pour over personal info, all they have to do is register. Sign up for a hotmail address and you're in.
Perhaps a more positive idea: we could have a Privacy 101 thread in the newbie forum. Suggestions to not use your email address as a user name, etc. Any ideas?
Thanks again for the ideas!
