Just for the next day or so, the board is set to allow both anonymous and registered users. This enables the avatars, private messaging and ability to play games. The cost is that anonymous posters are shown as "anonymous" and we lose the cute noms. Thought we would try and see how people like it, although the final decision may hinge on how well stinky cheese man scores in the hamburger game. (See other thread.)
If you want to help people out sign your anonymous posts with some kind of nom.
And remember that like every other message board in the world this one logs IP addresses, and we can see them whether you are anonymous or not.
