A bit of background, about a week or so ago Blizzard Entertainment decided that on their official Battle.net/Warcraft/Starcraft forums your real name would be tied to your account whenever you make a post, it wouldn't be retroactive it would just apply when they upgrade their board software in the future. After a few days they reversed the decision, apparently due to the negative reaction on the forums.
Anyway, thought it might be of interest to some here.
