    Maybe just you. This particular section is a place where people come to discuss matters which are often very personal in nature. Many people do not want their online identity connected with the subject matter of their threads.

    Perfectly legitimate.

    I only go Annon if I don't want family or friends coming across it. But I mostly just stay showed.

    Yeah I get it now, I didn't know the option was there to go anonymous. I can understand why some things you'd want to discuss anonymously. I just thought people were making posts without registering or something

    Obviously so people can't work out who's got a bent willy. The opposite logic to going on Embarrassing Bodies and showing everyone.
