I found a thread in which the OP was Anonymous , that is , he was just a guest. How can someone start a new topic without logging in ?
The guests cannot even reply to threads. How is this possible?

When both the forum and Bitcoin was still very new, Theymos would sometimes honor requests to delete accounts and when he did this he would change the handle on all the posts they made to "anonymous"

The account that created that post most likely had his account deleted.
