Well, I was going to sign up, but then I came across this little snicket of information in the ToS:

3. JOYMAX can use the personal information that is provided by the user during the application to use the service for service operation and other business marketing, PR, and advertisement of JOYMAX.

Thanks, but no thanks. Using my personal information for profit is pretty much the exact reason I stopped going to GameFAQs.

To be slightly fair, there was also this:

However, if the user clearly refuses to allow his/her personal information to be used, JOYMAX cannot use the user's personal information.

However, I saw no option to not allow them to use personal data for profit. If someone else sees it, let me know and I'll think about signing up. However, I'm guessing that it just refers to this:

2. The user shall give consent to share the user's personal information such as ID and contact number with JOYMAX for satisfactory service operation through the application to use the service as prescribed in paragraph 1. However, information to be shared at the application to use the service must be the user's actual information. If not, the user will not receive legal protection.

Which is basically saying they want us to enter our real names, and have a workaround if we don't. Doesn't say anything about their collecting personal information from our computers, which is what they use to make money.

I skimmed through the rest of the ToS but a lot of it was just more of the same.
