We are all (pretty much anyway) rich. Compared that is, to a good percentage of the worlds population.

Are our individual IP addresses listed as users of cyc;echat... how secure is the site? Should I be worried?

The site doesn't use SSL, and it is very possible that Shaun or a third party application logs the IP address of users and/or visitors... however this is such common practice now that it doesn't really matter.

IP address can barely be classified as PPI (Personally Identifiable Information), especially considering the majority are dynamic and therefore change on a regular basis.

In terms of a lack of SSL, this means that any data sent between you and the servers is not encrypted, but considering nothing confidential such as bank account details is distributed, again there isn't a particular reason for it to be used.

So no, there isn't any reason to worry.
