And honestly, I'm surprised they aren't adding zip code or city to your forum avatar. I mean, if you are going for that whole social thing, why not add that info. I think facebook and all those other social networks do that. Why not single or looking for sex? Highschool? Favorite movie? Shoe size? All of this info is more useful in creating a social community and yet less dangerous than a persons full name. So are they just failing at privacy and actually creating a social community?

If you read the new tos/eula this past tuesday it gives you a heads up on the future.
