Will recalls fierce forum culture where traders would critique posts from the beginning, motivating him to stay anonymous.

Those forums were fierce, man. They were absolutely fierce, right? Like if you put up a post or you started a thread, whatever you were writing, people were reading from the beginning, right? They'd read your first post in the second. So they're starting at the beginning of the book and then kind of reading forward. And so if you were getting something wrong, were you saying something that didn't quite fit how the market worked or something, like those people would just come after you, like a gut windism. So, I mean, back then, I didn't kind of realize how popular my thread would be. In fact, I put together a couple of posts and I thought, oh, I do this anonymously, right?
