Custom Anonymous Names? (94)

It was mentioned in the IRC meeting that the default names should more obviously reflect that the poster is anonymous.

In particular, "THRILLHO" is kind of esoteric, being a reference to a Simpsons episode, apparently. I think "NAME OVER", as suggested in >>1 might be a better idea. Almost anyone who wants to talk about games will get the joke.

Also, I think that "/sbin/nologin" might work a little better for the Programming board (than the current "#!/usr/bin/anon").

Alternatively, all the default names could just be "Anonymous." Someone suggested that, and it certainly does get the point across. But I don't think it would be popular. It loses so much of the flavor.
