Title: Author - Anonymous
Post by: Daboy_Lyle on May 25, 2018, 02:14:10 PM

Why do I'm seeing post that the author is anonymous and it says it's only a quest?
I have lot of questions about that.
What is anonymous here on forum?
Why do they can post even they're just a guest?
How did they come?
I'm just curious.

Most probably the user has been deleted.

I think this is from the time when you could post even if you were not registered, that's why you see it as "anonymous". See the date, it's back from 2010. There were many changes since then.

Nope. That was not the case.
As Mdayonliner mentioned, certain users have had their profile deleted. That is why the authors are shown as anonymous.
