Re: Real names?
I think it's a dangerous idea on an open forum. As it is, here we give out where we live, the type of pets we have, what cars we drive, our present and former professions. If we add our full names to the mix, we're leaving ourselves open to identity theft.
I would be hesitant to join a forum, even a "closed" one, that would require full names. It may make people more "real" but it just gives too much information to a hacker.
