Privacy, please
I wasn't even aware that posting your full first and last name would be shown to every one that decided to check out your profile. But when I checked my own out - gahh! My full name was there!
I assumed that when putting the first and last name down, that it would be kept out of the publicly viewable profile. And when I tried to leave it blank, it required me to put down a first/last name, forcing me to put down a weird "anonymously anonymous"
I would like for it to be changed, either to not require for a user to put down a name, or to be able to hide it from view.
Privacy, please.

Go to the control panel and change it. I just put my initials. You can put anything in there, it doesn't have to be your name.
 ACK!

Maybe so, but it really bugs me that Apolyton would really be after you to require you to fill in that form. I mean, like the other forms? ICQ, AIM, Yahoo? They aren't required!
Just an option to be able to hide it...
(And it looks really weird when I go to the front page and it says "Welcome back, Anonymously Anonymous (Naiveplayer)!")

Just use Good for your first name and Bye for your last name.
That way you will get :Welcome back, Good Bye."
ACK!

As long as you keep the key to the safe around your neck, they'll never get to your mind.
ACK!

Exactly. I have my name as Skanky Burns, and it doesn't matter that it isn't my real name.

I come from back in the day... when we didn't have to fill in our names.
The greeting... Welcome back, "Fill in your name" (MrBaggins)
just warms my heart.

You have posted in this thread and no one has stated the obvious:
BLAME SKANKY!!!!
ACK!

I also am sick of this intrusion into our personal lives. It is the first step down the slipery path to when you require us to give a vial of blood for our health information.
Apolyton must be stopped now!

"Naiveplayer" posting a thread on the community forum asking for more privacy?
I'm not sure I can keep a straight face.

*sigh*
Who gives a damn what your name is or what you have in those fields? Just enter your real name or something else. If you want to abstain, use hyphens which is the default in those fields when registering.

I was thinking about that too, so maybe he is a DL after all. 
/me dances the DL dance.

Even with his posting here, I don't think anybody gives a rat's ass about him.

perhaps i need to put a disclaimer in the registration form: just because two fields are called name and surname, doesnt mean that we'll hunt you down if you put anything else in there!
that's why we have the hyphens as the default values...
