Does anybody else see the humor in being anonymous when you are already anonymous on the rest of the forums?
Now we have anonymity from our anonymous selves. If this trend keeps up I may forget who I really am!

Some of us have online personas that we have spent years carefully cultivating. The anonymity of the anonymous forum serves a purpose for us then.

And some of us have become infamous and dastardly, and so receive much needed refuge here.

Q: Why did you decide to use perfect anonymity, not even requiring a user name? A: Because delivering news without taking any risk is very important to us. There is a lot of information disclosure or secret news gathered on Channel 2. Few people would post that kind of information by taking a risk. Moreover, people can only truly discuss something when they don't know each other. If there is a user ID attached to a user, a discussion tends to become a criticizing game. On the other hand, under the anonymous system, even though your opinion/information is criticized, you don't know with whom to be upset. Also with a user ID, those who participate in the site for a long time tend to have authority, and it becomes difficult for a user to disagree with them. Under a perfectly anonymous system, you can say, "it's boring," if it is actually boring. All information is treated equally; only an accurate argument will work.
