All that's visible in the profile pages while not logged in is the most public information. Forum name, age & gender if you've entered them, website address if you've entered it, last login date, and not much else.

When did guests get to start posting?  A guest posted on the "comments/criticisms of the Order's webpage" thread today.  I don't mind that this person posted, I just didn't know guest could.

Yep, it's still read-only for guests. What happened was that he accidentally deleted his own account after posting, while trying to change his username, so that's why it shows as a guest (the account no longer exists). He's re-registered now.

I'm not sure exactly how the forum is configured, but it's possible some of them were search engine spiders pooling info.

I suspect some of them are. I think there's probably also some search-engine users that pass through while searching for something related to knights or armor.

That is odd. I see one of those on right now, from an IP in Romania. I've blocked it.

Good idea. I had a bad experience with a Romanian cyber criminal who spoofed someone's ebay account once.
