It means instead of having her profile deleted (and thus the forum loses all her contributions, posts and threads), she graciously allowed her account to be anonymized …which leaves all her posts and threads, but changes her profile name to an anonymous one. Her email is removed and she can no longer access that account. It helps continuity for threads and posts.
@anon3131847 , Jan if you’re online at all, how about a check in?
I saw him a couple of days ago in a thread that got deleted.
It said to welcome first time poster by his name.
Hes still around. *waves hello to Crazy Dutchie *
I have not gamed in nearly two years Jan! 
I don’t believe I’ve seen @rain666? Did he change his name, or was it even 666 at the end? I’m not sure but hope he is well
((( @Girlinterrupted ))) I hate to even think of you hurting that bad… glad that miracle saved you. Glad also that you know you can be open here. The support is here for you. Hopefully never will there be a next time, although some times everything can get real hard, and, thankfully you did fight the good fight. Support is here for you, always. There is a meditation thread that might have some tools or techniques, videos, suggestions, etcetera, in there to help you with sleep. I am so glad you are okay, know that you are cared for and that you were missed.
@anon53116147, he is here, not exactly sure his name
I just saw he started a tread about feeling himself a imposter at work, so he’s around!
I miss @BeckerAndree
How are you doing? I liked your posts in the gratitude thread and miss them 

Lol thanks man
I had my account anonymized as I had grown very distant from here and decided to close this chapter of my life.
But I kept lurking and saw a post with a very political title and decided to make an account to flag it as to avoid huge discussions.
So I think I’m back. Not sure how long I’ll stay. But life has been great, yet also very overwhelming.
Damn, that’s awesome ![]()
You don’t have to have the activity level that you did when first starting. Honestly, back in 2018 and 2019 I was on here for maybe 4+ hours a day. Now, I check in on week days for 20 minutes or so. This forum is a tool, just like any other recovery program. It doesn’t have to be a huge commitment though, and absolutely should not become an addiction (I feel like I at one point was close to that).
Hé @anon35096624 how are you doing these days? Miss you and your sparkling sunshine tread 
@TMmarie Tai!!! Hey lady

Hey everyone, been a while. Missed ya. A lot of feelings flooded back when I logged in here.
Still sober. Life is still hard, and that’s okay. Still working on bettering my life and discovering what that looks like.
