Why is there a Membership list anyway?
Just wondering what are the expected legitimate uses for the Membership list - thinking of disabling completely on my own forum.
-and added poll question |

You'd have to hide the profiles as well since it's easy enough to go through the userids and find the user names. And even if you did that, you could get the usernames of everyone who posted by reading the forum.

Is this a poll about whether vbulletin.org should have a membership list (if so, it is in the correct forum) or about whether any site should have a membership list available to guests/users/anyone (in which case, it is in the wrong forum)?

I know we can't avoid them making a list from posts - it just seems like making an ordered list available - so easy for everyone to access- makes little sense.
It was really meant for both Lynne |

Yeah, I see what you're saying, and I can't really think of a use for it (except to search for a user when you can't remember the name exactly). But I kind of doubt that it would stop these kinds of attacks.

One thing that's interesting to me is that I've never heard of this happening on other sites (although I don't claim to have that kind of knowledge of a lot of forums), and even though it happens here every few months I haven't seen a lot of evidence of accounts being hacked. |

The members list doesn't really serve a grand purpose most of the time. There are some limited cases for it being useful. As long as the admin/staff can find users, I don't think its all that great.
In vB2/3/4 it can be one of the most intensive functions of the software, esp when you have a large user base. |

..... and yet people complain thats its missing from vB5, so much so that we are adding it back.
As far as here is concerned, its only available to logged in members now. |
