There were two versions of it for 3.0 and neither of us bothered to port. I didn't do it because the interest simply isn't there for such a comprehensive effort. The one I did had permissions set at board, forum, usergroup, and individual user level and allowed as much control as you now have for people posting in general. It also allowed you to undo the anonymous aspect in case you changed your mind later.

Under 3.0 it was a nightmare to install because queries had to be adjusted. I'm sure it would be easier in 3.5 but it's just not worth the hours to migrate over if only 19 people are going to use the thing.

We used it for our moderators to be able to moderate anonymously, which gave them the freedom to be normal members with thoughts and opinions that they could express because they didn't represent 'the management' when they posted as themselves.
