I doubt anyone cares about or looks at other people's profile pages much.
Writing down some suggestions of what you would like to see added might be an idea, as something as nebulous as "want more stuff" is probably hard to implement.

I do kind of miss being able to fill my profile with a lot of stupid stuff like my 'real name' and location.

The V1 Archive added a whole bunch of bloat (millions of posts) to the search feature and slowdown and we are working on improving search performance and turning it back on.

You know what, I'm the admin, and I get the same message you do. I'll add it to the to-do list to see if the permissions are wonky somewhere.

Fixed. Turns out, the Search must be enabled for this feature to work. We haven't improved the search efficiency yet so hopefully this doesn't cause performance issues.

Yep I've got a ticket created to track the issue but it's buried under a whole bunch of other tickets.

This has been fixed. For example, this page now works: https://forums.escapistmagazine.com...esting-link-in-op-april-3-2020.287017/page-12
Great, thanks!
Sorry to keep asking for more, but while we have you here could you raise (or remove) the limit of images you can embed per post? 3 is really restrictive, 10 would be more reasonable. The word count cap is a little low too. We didn't have a limit of either on v1 and it never caused any problems.

I've bumped the images up to 10 and post length to 50000 characters instead of 10000.

- Whatever, just wash your hands.
It looks like the profile pics are broken, aside from the ones without a chosen pic and just have the first letter of the name.
EDIT: Nevermind, apparently something weird was going on with my browser, restarting it fixed the issue and a few other weird ones.

Nevermind the above post. I created that account in 2009 and forgot until I tried to sign in with the wrong email. Would there be anyway to merge this account with the arkage_v1legacy account? I'd like to keep the name and picture, but also have the legacy tag. But otherwise one of them can be deleted. Thanks!
@egadmin found another issue with the archive merge. It looks like posts from certain banned users are misattributed to the OP of the thread. Here's an archive of a thread I made
web.archive.org
And here is the same thread on V2
forums.escapistmagazine.com
As you can see posts #7 and #18 in the V1 thread were not originally made by me. Also post #8 is missing from the V2 thread, but maybe that was intentional to leave out posts that got mod wrath? Will probably cause issues for readability, though.

Well that's not good. I've manually deleted these 2 posts but it appears to be a widespread issue regarding posts by banned users. I've added looking into this on my to-do list but it may be awhile before it gets corrected.@egadmin found another issue with the archive merge.
