Well im totally gob smacked, internet privacy is not a dying thing at all, in fact we will all become more internet security conscience in the future not less. While this is going to be voluntary to give your real name, it isnt really, because if you dont then you will have your usage of boonex somehow limited.
Now lets get one thing clear here, its great if you are in business, with a business name, and maybe a business address to go with it,All your internet dealing are aimed at that, but most see more of us dont, and i for one go to great lengths to protect my privacy, even with a user name, i have tyke here, but for my other established sites, my user name isnt tyke, and i do that so if anybody gets a grievance with me, they cant google my username and come and get me outside my dolphin site, and it does happen (mentioning no names) and people having paddy fits.

This is going to sound awful, but im going to say it, for a company (boonex) to be playing around like this with peoples privacy isnt really nice, especially one that doesn't really have a working product its almost as if Boonex are trying to alienate its clients before it begins. D7 isnt that good, in fact its common knowledge (in private) that D7 is a big let down, and i for one will be sticking with 6.1.4, so this isnt a smart move..
