Back in the day, when Arti and I joined the wiki (that was YONKS ago, man) they weren't given the politically correct name of 'A Wikia contributor' - instead they were just called 'Anonymous User' and so those of us who were around back then fell into the habit of calling them Anons. It still makes sense, because they are anonymous, but it makes less sense now that they're called Wiki contributors. xD
