I am, thank you. Had a bit of a struggle with finding a job for a while but that has been dealt with.

>Sounds like you just don't like the anonymous format.
i have been enough time on these places (almost 3 years) to know the problems.

>Personally I like full anonymity
besides having some contradicting problems, i think it has its charm but...

>To me it seems to create a more coherent whole instead of dividing it into cliques and attentionwhores like 'cord.

Division is just as likely, if not more likely, to happen in an anon environment. the sharty still had division problems (kuz and the jarty; doll and his board isolation policies + early removal of 5 board plan mentality + early attraction of migrants and change of sharty culture + red acting like a retard and doll not giving a crap; froot and his 50 board experiment + all the other crap he did etc.), which got worse and worse as time went by. it does not help the fact that a tiny vocal minority (either the mods themselves or a few laymen) can appear much larger than it is to the average joe shmoe and can enact sheep mentality strategies. 

Also "attentionwhores" still appear here and have appeared for a good while. They even successfully live rent free in people's heads. They can save the housing problem in many countries by showing us their tricks! You also have the "notsoattentionwhores" who everybody likes/has no problem with, because they make cool stuff. 

Basically IBs are handicapped cord servers and i think that strictly sticking to some features will continue to hurt us. There are other factors that play into creating a "coherent whole" and trying to not have identification (which will always exist and is presupposed when interacting with a community made of ||individuals||) is not one of them.
