For me, sacrificing some privacy is worth it to be in a community with users who I know are real people. If that's not something that is important to you then that's fine.

In my case, right now it's very easy for you to figure out my real name by just googling my nickname. Registering on a website like the one I am implementing won't sacrifice much more of my privacy.
