members list

Moving to the Service & Support forum, but I'll answer the question too:

Fear of spammers harvesting the members' email addresses from the list. I'm not sure if that was actually happening or not, but a lot of people were afraid it was happening or might happen in the future, so we had to take it down.

Interesting... Whether justifiable fear or minor paranoia, appreciate y'all looking out for us. You do good work!
 
maybe this is a coincedence but during my brief banning vacation from BF..my spam email also dropped from 30 spam emails a day to less than 5. and after reinstatement..right back to 30+ spam emails a day.
 
I can't see how that could be anything but a coincidence. I don't suppose any of us want to repeat the experiment....
 
Seriously, spammers can't get your address from Bladeforums and even if they somehow did they certainly wouldn't stop spamming you just because you didn't post.
