The member list is a page on our website which shows the list of attending and supporting members of the con. It shows only the badge name and optionally additional information such as email address or URL. This list is only visible to people who have logged into our website, so only to current or former members and not to search engines.
If you are logged into our website, you can see the member list here. (If you aren't logged in, you'll be redirected to the login page; once you log in, click on "Member List" at the top of the page.)
Under no circumstances will we ever publish your real name, not even to other con members. The only people who have access to anything other than your badge name and optional additional info are the concomm members who process registration and payment.
There is no way to opt out of having your badge name on the member list. I hope that knowing that your real name is not in any way included makes this okay for you! Your badge name is how you will be identified at the con -- there is an actual badge with this name on it -- unless you choose in person to provide other names to the people you meet. Many people simply go by their fannish identities for the entirety of the con, which we think it a pretty awesome con feature!
We may consider additional payment methods for future cons. Given the time it takes to integrate and test automated payments, that's not something we could make available for this con, though. If you (or anyone else reading along here) are interested in registering for this year without using Paypal, please do send a check! And feel free to drop us an email or leave additional comments so that we can tell how much interest there is in these methods. Thanks for raising the suggestion here.
