In order to participate in the 8a forum you have to use a real name.    I have sent Daniel an email asking him why? I guess it is just a bug or so. 
a brainbug ??

he prob. got to many points
Maybe he got bored to compete against other climbers with points based on opinion. Maybe he just likes to compete agaist rock and himself... Allso -it saves time for recovery too if you donยดt have to upload that amount of ascents each day. He does "sending" for a living you know. -Anssi Laatikainen
"In order to participate in the 8a forum you have to use a real name." Then, three responses, two of which come from, "Blobsnark" and "BaGsiE". Why have such a rule if it isn't enforced, Jens? 
@ mike: you can set a forum alias in your settings ;)
I did not give 8a my real last name. Honestly I don't trust a site run by three guys with a lot on their hands not to go out of business and sell my name and email, or simply get hacked. As long as I am not impersonating someone else, I can't imagine why it matters. Delete offensive posts based on their content, not based on this fictitious "no anonymity" element.

For the topic of where are the ascents of Daniel. A site worth checking out www.27crags.com and for more. Here is Daniel's ticklist  http://27crags.com/climbers/dawoods89/ascents Don't know the reason to deactivation either...
probably he was just annoyed with how ridiculous this page has become...see discussions, the endless "grades are not important" talk while at the same time all jens seems to be dedicated to his grading and related topics...and so forth...iยดm seriously pondering making the move to 27crags. as well...

I see P. Robinson has gone too... maybe its the lack of slash grades?

Well  don`t you think that can be related with Ondra`s dedication to bouldering?
well, i donยดt think thatยดs the case...rather the direction things have been taking here...just check what daniel has done in the V15/8C range and compare this to what adam has done...case (for now) closed...
