I see you've done a lot of work Dr. Bob, but my main concern has still not been addressed. This is what is forcing me to leave.
The link you provided as an example
http://twitter.com/psycho_babel
still shows my name on a particular tweet, once this particular tweet is clicked on, a psychobabble thread pops up with my name on it.
I don't want my name appearing on any tweets or links.
If anyone responds to a post which then gets twittered, their name will still appear on the related thread.
This is why people are leaving and not responding to any posts because if that post gets twittered they will appear on that thread that could end up anywhere in the world.
Sure the buttons have disappeared from my page after changing my settings but it still doesn't stop me from appearing if I respond to a post that someone tweets off the boards.
I feel like I have been lolled into a false sense of security, it hasn't fixed the problem at all and people will continue to leave in droves.
I feel like you don't understand the implications of what you are doing and how the technology behind it actually works. I also think this site has been seriously compromised and is no long safe.
I just don't understand how you can feel comfortable with the knowledge that our posts can end up anywhere and fellow babblers that do understand how this works have stopped replying to all posts.
This has nothing to do with them and us mentality, it comes down to basic privacy and the trust we put in you, which has been grossly breached.
