I stayed anonymous for 10 years because my project got too much attention
Can you tell me what kind of project it was? Is that secret too?
It's open to users to gather information about other people
There is nothing wrong with wanting to stay humble about something that you've done. No one has to know it was done by you if you don't want them to.
I didn't say it's a bad thing. I just wanted to stay anonymous until the project ran on its own.
Well that is a benefit too. Either way, it is a pretty unique and cool situation to be anonymous.
