Just curious.  Why the change?

Hey all, wanted to let everyone know that we will be moving to an email-only based login around mid-December.  Please make sure you start using this method to log in now (it's enabled already).  We will be moving away from 'username' based log-ins.

For instance:  My username is "Mike" on the website.  I can log in using my username or I can use my assigned email address in the system right now.  In December, I will ONLY be able to log in using my email address.

You can check your current email address in your "account settings" (next to your name in the upper right).  Email addresses are NOT published to the public.

Thank you!

Mike"

Security.  Usernames are published in each post.  But email addresses are not.  So, by moving to an email login this eliminates 50% of the information that hackers can use to try to get in.  (other 50% is the password)
