So that when the EmailSyphons come they don't pick up your email addresses and add them to their spam database, but they are still readable to humans who want to geniunly use them.

Your profile page is dynamic so your email can't be harvested.

I've had my email in my forum profile for about 2yrs and received no spam.

Ys it can be spidered! What makes you think that it can't pick up the profile page from the link by each users post?
