Re: Suggestion to change the obsolete social media from account info
OP, good idea except for the Telegram, Discord, Skype and Instagram part. The research into actual ongoing usage (or the impossibility of such usage) of the various old popular IM networks is most useful. Unfortunately, I doubt that the forum will add, remove, or change the existing profile fields anytime soon. Too bad.

Now, observe that most of my focus here is on authentication of an identity, and not simply on providing a means of contact. A comparison of the communications security of PGP to that of ICQ, AIM, and MSN Messenger would be laughable. Placing a PGP fingerprint in ones profile is a statement of cryptographically strong identifying information, not merely a bit of contact info. That, indeed, is why I have kludged my PGP key fingerprint into my profile and displayed it in my forum signature, ever since I started actively posting.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom here, nullius!
Your ideas are great and I just hope theymos will read your post here. Maybe he will make a change based on your suggestion, though.
Besides that, I didn't know that in English exist also the saying "to not see the forrest for the trees". I was sure it is a Romanian saying. Apparently, it is not. We have this saying as well, translated ad literam.
Also, what AC2 copy did you lose? What do you mean by AC2? Assassins' Creed 2?
