does anyone else have problems with our names and addresses showing up on our profiles over at drafthillary.com?

I would have a problem if my address showed up. Where did you see yours? I just checked my profile, and all that's shown is my city, no state. There are several cities with the same name as mine, but in different states. I didn't see my name anywhere.

Under the profile page, it has your complete name, your city, state, and zip code. I'm going to see if I can edit my profile to just my user name with no last name, I'll let you know.

Update: I now have my first name as jdona, and last name "notforpublicdisplay". Reddirt, I know your first and last name, age, gender and city/state. I just do not think that is safe in this particular world.

Good grief! Why would they allow all that info to be public?? I'll edit mine too.

I edited mine as well.

I see that dakinkat deleted her account at drafthillary.com. I emailed her about her profile. I've also emailed the webmaster, to no avail. If anyone knows how to get in touch with these people, do so, or this effort will fail before it gets off the ground

Guys, I've got a lot of concerns about drafthillary.com. I am going now to delete my whole account. I posted something on the blog yesterday re: the public profiles, I checked back yesterday evening to see if admin had responded, the post was there, but today there is no sign of it. They took it down, and I've no idea why. They also have not responded to my email. I have a bad, bad feeling here, and I'm not taking any risk.

I tried looking up the Founders of the Movement listed on the Draft Hillary site and came up with nothing.

Could not find them in the donations check. More specifically, neither has donated to Hillary in 2008.

I came across something worth reading on Riverdaughter.

Since none of the key people I know associated with Hillary's candidacy in 2008 approached me about it, I have been a bit extra cautious and have NOT registered.

That's a little bizarre isn't it Sanders? I read the article from Dakinikat on this website. She had actually registered until I emailed her about the profiles, then she deleted her account yesterday. I see a whole lot of people there that were big in the 2008 PUMA movement, Cynthia Russio, Will Bower, the person that does Daily Puma, etc. I really wish they would respond to this thing about the profiles. Being unresponsive doesn't sit well with me, and deleting my post about it bothers me even more. This is getting a little bit too creepy.

Absolutely is very bizarre.

There is also the possibility that it is a simple mistake that they are airing private info.. and we dont know anything much about the two founders... but two people from out of the blue taking lead in drafting Hillary WITHOUT ALIGNING THEMSELVES with many who have worked hard for Hillary in 2008 -- that is a bit odd to say the least. Alignment and congregation are important in politics.

One thing I noticed is that they make the Avatar of the members logged in visible to all -- but without logging in, nothing much is visible to anyone.. So, there is a strong encouragement for people to sign up and become members. WHY? Why not allow people to read the forum without becoming members? Something is not so in the up and up... I feel... I really do not favor members-only forums.

A lot of those known people who you see there may have joined just like you... and may be unaware of what you have discovered.

I joined last week, and edited all my info out right away, but to be honest, the format of the site itself didn't really encourage me to come back. Maybe I'll take a look again.

It seems like the website owners know that some people try and troll Hillary forums, so hopefully they will take the right steps to keep some people from trying to troll their website. I agree that they shouldn't be asking for real name, address etc, in the first place.
