I liked adding a silly location related to my fandom's canon to my location for a little extra profile flair, but it's understandable why they removed this for the people who actually write their location there.

  Indeed, it was quite fun to meet people from fantastic places such as Narnia, Hogwarts, Mordor, Qo'noS, Neverland, Melmac, Camelot, or Wyoming on this site. ;) But yeah, some people are shockingly easy with giving away personal information, be it their location, age (especially if they're minors), or either. We'll certainly continue stumbling upon details in comments, sure, but removing the fields altogether was probably the most efficient way to keep possible damage from getting done too easily.

    Definitely! I'm all for the change. Frivolity can be set aside for safety reasons, it's no big loss.
