Hmm I get your point but that is inevitable. I'm okay with full anonymity but recognizing people from their usernames gives credibility to what they're saying.
I used to dislike people who used names on anon sites too but when I started getting into sites that use geoloc to identify users, it became more human for me. I could identify users and form connection.
I know most people here won't agree with this and yeah people would be able to deanonymize you by tracking every piece of info you share about yourself.

After so long using anonymous forums, I've decided it's unreasonable to share most work without some consistent identity. This format is usually fine for discussions, but larger work is rarely ever mentioned anonymously, and why would it be mentioned without an identity? It's almost entirely unreasonable to collaborate on something large with no identities whatsoever. The closest example of which I can currently think is Bitcoin, which was pseudonymous. Even a discussion isn't impervious to the call of accomplishments to reinforce an opinion, and what better way to do this than by linking to work? Explain to me how an anonymous forum about programming can reasonably discuss programming beyond small fragments without some participants eventually becoming recognizable.
At least I host everything myself, rather than use Github.
