Efforts To Keep Usernames Confidential

Post by admin »

Our brilliant Tech Wizard, Gil, has been working overtime in coming up with a way to keep members names away from being seen outside of the RRF.

To see what non-members see, try logging off and then viewing the RRF. The search engines will still have information from the past, naturally, but at least no new information should be seen in association with real names with this new setup.

I want to thank Gil for this effort.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Hey, thanks, guys. That's a nice touch. :D

I notice that real names, when part of a thread title (ie, some birthday threads) will appear in a oogle search. Just FYI :)

This was something I wanted to see most, privatizing the names here. Very good!

[Gretsch riff]
There's a woman who lives a life of danger
To those outside the RRF, she's a stranger....
Oh every note she picks
Are played on her old Ricks
Odds are she can write a song or two.

Chorus:
Secret Agent gal
Secret Agent gal
They've given her a number,
On the Rick Resources board [/Gretsch riff]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Sometimes I just really amuse myself.

Or the legendary banned lyrics:

"... Whene'er her nose she picks,
She has to clean her ricks,
Odds are she'll be running out of Zymol ...
