I know (though it’s editable by going to your profile), but as ODH pointed out, Sport was once never an option, and even if someone ticks all the boxes then it indicates their interest in Sport equals whatever else they ticked.

Probably, but I don't use thecrag for ticking, though sometimes use it for beta on what routes are in an area.
PS, as an older participant that's been in the game a while I don't need technology to show me the major changes I've seen first hand in Australian climbing over time, and for the record, I think the bolting of routes has gotten out of hand to the point where convenience is valued more highly than skill or adventure.
