Couple of things - one is proper Monkey Den material, I guess and the other is minor H/A that doesn't really merit it's own thread.
If I have me email address shown (so that it is a link button at the bottom of my posts), is it safe? As in, I know if you post your email address that they quite often get picked up in auto-searches and then added to spam lists, but will it get spotted if it is in one of these links?
Also, AIM address...I'm new to AIM so I was wondering if this is just my AIM username or if it is something else? The address bit has me confused.
The AIM one is H/A, but I felt silly making two threads about fairly minor questions. Thanks for answering it.
I figure that the email thing realtes to how the forum works so Alpha's probably going to be the person most likely to know the answer. Although I fully expect Senoir to give his.
Feh, it's not like it's pushing anything important off the front page of the Monkey Den right now.
yeah, if a bot was sent to scrape the PA forum pages.
Then again, they might not, not sure how well bots can handle dynamic pages. Either way, most email addresses are figured out using dictionary words and just name generators until they get you, or buy a list from your ISP.
Your IM handles and emails are not visible to anyone unless they're logged in as a user. This was instituted a while ago after we had a few users get weird IM bot-spam.
Ecoterrorism is actually the single largest terrorist threat at the moment. They don't usually kill people, but they blow up or set on fire very expensive things.

I don't know about the auto search/email adress thing, but the AIM one is your AIM screen name.

spammers are very, very cheap.
That wraps up that mystery.
