I have heard concerns about the required profile questions being to lengthy or intrusive.
On the Forum site (
https://frcongress.board-directory.net )
The only requirement to be a user is registration .
All that is required to be a user is a user name, valid email and a password to use on the forum site.
The profile is not mentioned at all during registration and is strictly an option for each user to use or not.
For those looking at the forum page, the links to register or log in are on the far right side of the menu bar.
Unfortunately the size and location of the items in the main menu are fixed.
This forum site is free and has many features for us to use, but has it's limitations because it is free.
It is funded directly by the ads. If the FRC wants more functions then other options will need to be explored.
