No, I do not. I've known another AP come out of hiding and the result wasn't pretty.
Numerous potential downsides, mostly social issues. Suddenly nobody wanted to be around that 'degenerate gambler' as everybody was expecting him to hound his friends for loans.
Funny thing; he revealed that hes been APing for 3+ years and has been the most cashed-up one in his social group. I guess logic is not his social group's strongest suit.
Also thanks to the rumor-mongering of his so-called 'friends', the ladies started avoiding him like the plague. (Except 1 or 2 observant gold-diggers.)
The only upside I can think of is bragging rights, hardly worth all of the above downsides.
Nope, I'll be fine in the shadows.
