Seems the links issue is the big one - perhaps if there was a link on the
Brickshelf mainpage to this page: http://www.lugnet.com/~1763/Brickshelf

Or even, if there were a statement on the site about how to opt yourself in -
for example, urging Users to explicitly use their full name in all Folder
Descriptions, so that a search for "hoffman" would lead to one of my folders.

Perhaps a statement that explains the COPPA situation, so that users could infer
the solution would be to provide their name in a folder, etc.

Or create a Username description (like for individual folders, but under the
main directory) - where a user could add their name if they would like.

Obviously, I dont know about legality in this issue - just throwing out ideas.
