It's ironic that a change no one has to embrace if they don't want to has attracted so much opposition. I think it's a good change, especially since it's optional. I've seen ugly changes forced on wikis that attracted less opposition. Honestly I don't recall a significant change in activity either way when we turned off anons. Vandals and incompetents edited a lot less though. There's also the fact that a serial troll showed up every couple months rather than every couple days after the change.
