About half of regular Fornits posters post nameless. This hardly makes them guests. "Guest" also implies welcomeness, which is laughable.
"Anonymous" also signifies solidarity with the larger Anonymous of the rest of the Internet's dark side.

What's wrong with "Anonymous?" It's warm, dark, friendly, carries the friendly cloak of protection that the forest lends...
:lol:

A Guest, in my view, is more a transient or fellow who we should welcome and show hospitality towards but it is also someone who isn’t going to be here very long.. just passing thru
I always see Anonymous as a person who is bearded or incognito…a pseudo person who isn’t going away and wants not to be known, secretive.
I also always thought it might be nice to give the anon or guest a drop down option to identify themselves a little more than just a generic title (anon or guest) and allow them to choose, depending on mood or personal choice…maybe along the lines of a few avatars which would better identify who they wanted to be that day… angry, happy, sad …. Or how they intended to respond.. Aggressive, passive.. and still keep their anonymous status.
This may help the people responding to the post to have an idea of the persons mood also. I have often misdiagnosed the intent of posters feelings only to regret my response.
This gaining of a more personal posting may help to transition them into getting a permanent login name also.
I think Anon is a more accurate descritpion of most of the posters.

You must be straight up out of your mind. Or is it just self loathing? Remember when I tied together some hundreds of your anon posts? It was funny as hell, really. Poor Reagan Youth! If that tweaker weren't paranoid enough, I had to go and swap record id for user id and turned him into the cat in the hat. Would have been so much more apt a title for you, really.
Anyway, how about 'undisclosed'?

Hmmm... little strange. Maybe I have selective memory......I think you are talking about me, but not sure what all that means.
Anyway... undisclosed is more secretive than "Anon" and kinda sucks... how about "unexposed" which has a more cloaked feel to it... or a more generic "Blind post" which contains more of an intent to stay hidden.

I think it's less prejudicial. And I think that's why you don't like it. Maybe Wormtongue would have been better.

Who gives a shit why TheWho likes it or doesn't like it?

Anonymous is better, but I could really give a fuck what ya'll call it. This thread is 'anally tainted' at best. Get a life.....

Nice word filter for "Guest" => "A voice from nowhere." :rofl:

Wee! Now Fornits is schizophrenic.
Actually, this one suits me even better.

Does that mean I'm not crazy?
SNAP Ginger... That's too funny, up there!!

Perhaps there something more concise that could possibly convey the idea of "a voice from nowhere"..?

Sorry, I'm high.. but you know, "a voice from nowhere" is kinda long..

Anonymous was fine, imo.

it's not like you actually have to type it each time!
how lazy can you be? sorry: forgot you are buzzed...
I like the fact that 'guest' implies a welcome invitee, temporary visitor. With your 'guest' appearance come the responsibilities of 'the rules'. Stuff like;
don't wear out your welcome;
treat 'it' like 'it's' your own;
leave 'it' the way you found 'it';
your basic courtesys, ya know? it might be too much assumption on my part that most people have those basic -true-north-compass-headings.
(I had to purchase out of pocket -seems mine got damaged in delivery- just lucky I noticed it even :wink:)
don't post things You wouldn't want INTERNATIONALLY published, w/YOUR face next to it :wave: :exclaim: :rofl:

I agree.

What if random names were generated for "guests" to encourage them to log in? Names like scrot-boy, ass-plunger, geekish virgin, or chicken shit.
-
Great idea! :P
-
Why not force anonymous postings, except for private messages, to discourage ego tripping and prevent personal flamewars?
-
Great idea! :P
+1! :rofl:

Great idea! :P

+2! :rofl: ::bwahaha::

Along the lines of what Zen stated….Why not assign a random name to each IP that sticks and is used for all anon postings.
Example :
When a person goes to post as an anon:
You would ask:
“If “login nameâ€

Lucky souls assigned the "Scrot-Boy" moniker might do well to familiarize themselves with details from the tale of Scrotum Self Repair (http://http://sounds1.neilrogers.com/sounds/nn1996/07.mp3).

Urus, you have a unique way of getting your point across, thank you for that link… because of you I compulsively had to go down stairs and inspected my staple gun and put the remaining staples in alcohol (to insure they are sterilized). I wont be able to enter a machine shop during lunch time ever again.
I vote to remove “Scrot-boyâ€
