| ...You might want to consider not putting your birthdate up for anyone to see in your profile. This generally isn't a good idea.

| You could always put in blatant lies. Y'know, like 'Feptober 35, 2930'. People stop caring in a hurry.

So that's not Yuka Takeuchi in my user picture. I have a right to use a picture of a big-busted nurse instead!

That's a little difficult considering you put numbers to represent months and days.
But seriously, how is putting your birthday a bad idea? Then everyone knows how old you are? (OH NO THEY ARR GOIG TO GIVV ME A HRAD TIM BECUZ IEM ONLY 14! No, they're going to give you a hard time if you can't spell and you type in all caps.)
Does putting your birthday up mean a talented hacker could break into a government registration network and find out your real name and home town? Ooooh a talented hacker really cares about me.
What is the problem?

| He isn't saying.
Maybe HE'S the talented hacker you're speaking of.
I mean, he pointed out several security holes in the message board. That IS pretty suspect, you know. Makes you wonder why he was looking for them in the first place...

Assuming he's trying to hack us, which is dumb because we don't have anything worth hacking (It's not like we're developing Doom 3 or anything) and he finds all these little security holes . . . why would he report them?

Hey, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. >_>

Who knows, who cares. I never had a problem with it, as I just always either forgot about it or ignored it. The worst people can find out is that I'm 16, and that perhaps downloading and dealing P.S.R. over Yahoo! Messenger on a 56k is a somewhat suicidal idea at my age (We will not be getting into other brave forays into my downloading records).

So that's not Yuka Takeuchi in my user picture. I have a right to use a picture of a big-busted nurse instead!
