Ian - allow me to be right up front.
First - "Search Bots" can not log into the forum - what THEY see are "MrBojangles". Just like "Unregistered users" - they "see" no real names if a screen name is used (as you do), nor is any information parsed to any web bots. Don't believe me? Try this....
Log OUT of this forum - and then take a look. What YOU see is what any Google, Go Daddy, MSN, Dig, - name that search bot - sees.... Yep - even the list of folks "On-Line" at that time isn't displayed....
If that is unacceptable - I'd suggest NOT visiting any existing website. The "personal data" isn't "here" in this forum - it's kept in your Cookie Data retained in your browser - not here. Your browser retains ALL the sites you visit, how often, how long you stay on that site, whatever... That's what Google, Amazon, and all the rest track you with.
I'd be more than happy to delete your account and make all your posts disappear - that's easy. But - I'd suggest the problem isn't here.
