I think this is a great way to encourage participation for certain kinds of forums. I'd like to include it in mine. It doesn't seem like we have a plugin available so can someone brief me on how to create it? I basically want a checkbox around my text area (when making a new post), which when checked would show the poster as anonymous.

Can someone help me out on how to go about it? I know briefly about hooks and methods but am not sure how to accomplish this.

Thank you.

A checkbox near the text area which when ticked will lead to the post/reply being anonymous. This is different from the guest functionality as only logged in users can use this function.

Do we have any update regarding such a plugin? Giving the option of anonymity to registered users will definitely promote involvement in the case of some forums.
