How about polling the MSU database and just having it sub in our first and last names?  Easy enough, especially since the records are all available through LDAP.

I have a concern about how the forums are displaying the email address of a person instead of a username. On public forums this could be an email harvesting cornucopia.

For instance:

http://forums.msu.edu/memberlist.php

That link is viewable without logging in and is essentially a list of email address for potential spammers.

Are there any plans to allow people to display a nickname in lieu of their email address, for those of us that are concerned?

Some forums will permit read-only access without logging in.  Those are
probably going to be the only ones it'll work for.

Wonder how that will work since you need to login for access to the forums.
