Greg & Patrick.....I have the leftover Directories.....would be glad to get one to you. I can drop one in the mail....just let me know if you're interested.
I like the idea of restricting access/membership to actual graduates of CHS, particularly with regard to the address list. I am not the computer expert so I don't know if this is even a possibility or pehaps this has already been done and I am not aware of it.Greg Ward wrote:So, I'm thinking we need to somehow restrict access to this address list to our membership, which also means we have to vet who can be a member! doh! Uh, if you aint in the yearbook . . . For what its worth, I like the idea too. I'm not tryin to rain on your parade, just trying to think it through.
Not to minimize your concerns, Brenda, but I think anyone who wanted to do anything you described could do so now.Brenda Robinson Jenkins wrote:I like the idea of restricting access/membership to actual graduates of CHS, particularly with regard to the address list.

I have added concerns with the pictures of our kids being posted in conjunction with the address list - Pedophiles could actually register as a member and see the picture of a particular kid that catches his/her fancy, for lack of a better word, and have an address to find the kid. There are some registered users now that I have no clue who they are by the way they registered their name - if they make a post, I usually then know who they are. But some of those users have not posted.
Of course, I am in the phone book too like Phil said so I wouldn't be that hard to find. But most pedophiles don't know by looking at my name and address in the phone book that I have children. And I am sure there are all kinds of things they could find out about me by using internet searches.
Perhaps I am over thinking this or maybe you have already taken care of this, just wanted to put my thoughts out there.
Yeah - Shane - I realized that as I was typing my concerns that I thought about that a little too late as I had already posted pictures of my kids a month ago and identified my kids by name, age etc. on the site. I guess I was so excited about the site, I didn't stop to really think about other issues when I put all that information "out there", so the "damage" has already been done in my case. Then when discussions about the future of the site came up, that thought came to mind.shane wrote:Not to minimize your concerns, Brenda, but I think anyone who wanted to do anything you described could do so now.
That said, I'd like to see first and last name required to register, so you would know who's there. I realize anyone could put in a false name, but someone wouldn't be able to just put in any name they pulled out of the air. Despite the fact that I've always considered our class to be anyone who started CHS in 1983 and we've allowed those from other classes to join, we do have a finite membership.
Gimme, gimme. Uhh, I mean, yes please.

Is my address in that list or do I need to post it here for the world to see?
