If you aren’t a registered member on SKMB, or aren’t signed in, you can’t see a members profile in this website. You get an error message that states "You have insufficient privileges to view this community member's information."

Yet if I do an internet search and google the members name and stephenking (google search example: dio’bolic stephenking) the first result gets you to members profile page on the stephenking.com website, and anyone can view the Profile Posts, Recent Activity, Postings, and Information. If a members profile is available on the internet for all to see, why have it restricted in the website? Or is this something that shouldn’t be happening?

I set my privacy so that only members here can see my profile.....

But! What about your fan base!
Anyone else flattered at the possibility that there might exist people in far-flung areas of the globe that are lingering on your every word? Someone other than the boys in the basement at the NSA? And girls...don't forget the girls!
I imagine groups from an assortment of countries, all following you because your own NSA is following you.
Does the NSA have a membership page?
Who's following the NSA?
