Huttu. This even beats your ranking in St. E's cup. You may not be the
fastest guy around, but you're up there with being one of the most
famous.
Congratulations!

BTW, a GPLrank admin raised privacy concerns on Top 25 buddies and
the "whose buddy list am I on" parts of the site. What's the opinion
of the forum?

But if privacy is a issue for some people, is it possible with a
checkbox in the profile where you can check it if you don't want to
appear on those two lists ? To minimize the mess if you make such
thing, it could be defaulted to "Yeah, I'm not afraid of my name used
in public", and people who are could turn it off.
Just my thought.
Again, thanks a lot for the effort Uwe!

The only privacy concern I have with GPLRank is that anyone (including spammers)
can create an account and then search the database to get your email address
(seems to me submitting your email address wasn't optional and it was stated that
it wouldn't be used except for admin purposes).

I didn't even notice them until you said anything (and I did stop by yesterday
:-).
I don't see any problem with the Top 25 -- I knew Alison and Randy would be up
there. The "Whose Buddy List am I on" part is fine too. It allows you to see who
is trying to pass you :-D
I don't see it as a problem, you and your team have done a fantastic job!

Yep Ken,
I agree 100%. this is why I introduced a hard limit on the search
function, although I agree that adding a button like "don't show my
mail address" would be better. I thought it would be nice to be able
to communicate with other gplrank users in an easy manner, but of
course as always in life there is a downside. You can always change
your mail address to some spambox if you don't want to receive mail,
however some admin functions send mail to the users mail address
when we wipe times and such.
Cheers,
Uwe

BTW I do think GPLRank is great. Thanks for all the work you and the others put into
the site.
