First of all op, I think this post is supposed to be in the beginners and help section. Now, the idea about being anonymous is a major feature of Bitcoin. This makes every user free from the risk of being exposed to the public as you know, not all country accept Bitcoin and no one would want to get into trouble with the higher authorities.Now as regards being anonymous on the forum, I do think it's a good idea.a lot of user has different reason about this though.but for the persons I have invited, I don't think I have given them my username. I only showed them how the forum works.
There's nothing to compete against here on Bitcointalk, we all want to learn more about Bitcoin and maybe get to the highest rank of which is the legendary member.
