Why do people still go anonymous on Yahoo when they're closing this place down?

Update:

7 more days. 

Update 2:

But what's the point? No one knows who anyone is even with the alias names revealed.

    Because while this site will die, idiocy never does.

    It could be a number of reasons:

    1. They want to keep their ID's a secret because they don't want people knowing who they are. Maybe they don't trust certain people.

    2. They don't feel comfortable making their ID's public.

    3. They are probably asking a lot of personal questions and don't want to be embarrassed.

    4. They want to avoid being targeted by trolls.

    Because they do not want other users to know who they are.
