It doesn't sound like it would be good for discussions.  What would it be useful for?

Shitposting, IMO.

I feel like we're nice enough people(if you'll allow me to include myself in that category, despite x and y) that we wouldn't be using it for that.

Not really, as the moderators and administrators would still be able to identify the members. But yeah it's not really needed on the forums.

And do what exactly? Do you think you would be called out less for shitposting?

I think it is. I think our profiles here represent ourselves after a while, and sometimes someone might need a break from that.

I'm not interested in it for shitposting. But thanks, abaris, I think I got the gist about your attitude towards me.

At least something came out of this thread.

Honestly, I don't care what your name is. I take the post for what it is instead of judging by who posted it. I may have had a bad first impression of you, but I have also sided with you in other posts. You don't need anonymity when what you say just makes sense.

A well earned attitude as far as I am concerned. So prove me wrong. No anonymous posting required.

People always assume I have bad intentions and it's always about me.

It's getting tiresome. Even you, a new person, thinks that.

Fuck that. Ok, it's a bad idea. I get it. No need to rub it in, everyone. Move on with your lives.




Jesus fuck.

EP, you created a thread about this. So naturally everyone is going to comment on it with what they think. While it's not the worst idea out there, it's not really needed either.

No, I just said that I didn't think that. I admitted that I agreed with some of your posts. I'll also judge the next thread that you make on its content and not by its author.
