Also I'm debating whether to have that nifty 'person's name in the member list links to their membership form' because it's handy and makes the membership form actually useful, but also means that everyone's gonna have to repost their old form or fill out a new one because there's no way I can summon up the effort to dig through 1200 pages worth of thread for them. Of course, I'm pretty sure just googling "site:giantitp.com "WATCHTOWER membership form"" could work as well but most of those forms are going to be old style forms which are not as useful as the new ones.

Or I could just link to character pages but I don't think every member has a character page.

Because as it is the Member's List is just a bunch of names which isn't terribly useful or informative unless you know the character already in which case it isn't terribly useful or informative.
