All you need to do is type in one of our screenames into a search engine, and the results are filled with lots of links leading here.

...Well that would explain the random 'guests' that keep popping up.

It might be ok that they can only find us. They know if they post it can be deleted and they can be banned.

On ezboard or yuku, there is a feature that you can only view if you are registered. Do they offer that here?

Really, that easy? I can be searched for on the net???! Freaky! I can't even find the link from the main WINM site! I had to add this link into my favourites because I kept forgetting it and having to go to my imdb messages to click from my invite there

I understand Anakin's concern, if she doesn't want the website to be hunted by trolls!

And, above all, make sure that your e-mail address is not searchable, otherwise you may receive a lot of spam and stuff like this.

Yeah, I can change the settings such that only registered members can view the boards, but it'll be harder to get new people that way.

...I think I've solved the mystery of all the guests, and now I feel stupid.

Should I remove it?

On the other hand, maybe not. Looks like it's hard enough to find for most people who set out specifically looking for a forum link from WINM, because they won't bother to go read everything. Meanwhile all the pictures are on those two threads and it's too troublesome to shift everything onto the site.

Ah well. If people come and cause trouble I'll ban 'em. At least they might see from our discussions that we really are innocent after all.
