Why are the number of downloads I've done displayed?

Why is this interesting to others? Though not really significant, it feels like a bit of an invasion of privacy.

Some modification must have stuck it there, I don't know how it could be an invasion of privacy since you are doing it on a public internet site and no one knows what you've downloaded, could be race videos, could be order guides, etc.

Did you get past the first word, or did my egomania drive you away?

Is it possible to give us some options on what is displayed and what isn't? I love this place but it feels pretty damned cluttered compared to most of the other boards I visit.

I think people need to sit tight and read that notification they get every time they log on that the site is undergoing some rework and that we'll notify everyone when it is completed...
