I just have this simple question. Is this membership provider intended
for usage only in small websites?
Let's say, if you plan a big ecommerce software, which would require
you to add many additional fields to the users and some other stuff
that is not in the out-of-the-box membership provider, would you still
using it as basis ? or would you write your own membership system right
from scratch ?
 
I've recently examind it for large-scale systems and it's very flexible. One
of the things to keep in mind though, a lot of the information could be done
with the personalization system instead of adding to the membership
structure. For instance, address is a personal value and can be used in the
personalization as opposed to adding fields to the membership store.
 
if you modify from base example or write from scratch it's still "your code" so, no difference
