Summary is: to cut down on trolling and 'improve the social environment', if you post on any Blizzard forums after a certain date it'll be using your real name - that is, the name you've got tied to your WoW account or whatever for billing purposes. Posts earlier than that date will not be retroactively changed.

The WoW forums version of that topic has, as I write, 19,374 posts, not to mention the huge flood of additional topics. I think that speaks for itself.
