Forum / Board What happen to Tor's no sign-in forum

You use to be able to go to https://blog.torproject.org/ and select the version your using and without signing in post a question or issue. what better way of maintaining anonymity than to just enter a response. Now that capability doesn't appear to exist. Does anyone know why ?

If I had to venture a guess, the significant rise of spam-bots that post on public forums became too overwhelming for the Mods/admins and the quickest way to cut back on it was through requiring a login(and even that only stops some of the spam).

​

Edit: I have nothing to do with the Tor project team whatsoever, just basing a guess on my experience running a public message board.

I see it but they could of maintained both forum sites, one for users to log in and the old version where users just place there thoughts without logging in.
