(...) I am of the opinion that having your real name attached to your posts cuts down on the amount of trolling and silly flame wars. People are much more likely to get involved in flame wars if they can hide behind an alias. I think that is what (...) (15 years ago, 19-Feb-09, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

I'll admit this isn't one of my better ideas, but I'll throw it out there anyway... Just read an article that (URL) Ma.gnolia Goes Open Source, But Bookmarking is Dying>.

A quick tangent: for those of us who have been around the LEGO community for awhile now, having our real names out in public on LUGNET has helped me to associate names of builders to people I (...)

Hi all, recently we receive quite a number of requests from individual users to have their real names and/or profile pages removed from search engine result pages. We realize that some of you probably would rather not see their names on such pages (...) (16 years ago, 27-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
