So as a webmaster I am curious who has more than one username and account here? Webmasters and admin need at least two, and two different email addresses so that they can test the script from the user side. I am guessing that Jim and John have acquired many more than that over the years so that they can cruise around under the table with discussions. But I am very curious how many here have more than one as to assume different personalities as the situation requires in their agenda? I am one of those who has only owned one username on every board I have haunted and take my licks as that only one personality. How about you? Just curious. :)
All these years I thought you were Michael Rivero.....
Could employ a digital watermark in the page images or animations to act as a beacon. An individual marker for each username could be applied. A users device knows its actual address, regardless of fooling an intermediate server with a VPN.
newbie here, been a 10 year lurker and no intention of disrupting the greatest site ever created... only one...
Other boards other names.
I had one other name when I first joined. I never used it. This is my only name.
Just the one, share it with my wife, since 2000.
Just one. The same one since I stopped lurking in 1998.
Another question -- if you were to pick a new nick, what would it be? Should be fun answers... I might go for Jacques DeLurc.
That is actually a good curiosity. :)
I have personally only had two altogether in my life that I have used alternately on dozens of boards. So I had never really thought about what I should come up with if I needed a new one, one or the other has always worked so far. :)
Something I find myself doing is trying to figure out what the thought or source might have been for other’s usernames. “wonder where the heck they got that one?”. But sometimes there really is a lot of reflection of personality shared in a username, it’s almost like reading body language of a sort. :)
One and only one.
We can all see when an individual signed up. You signed up on Sep 14, 2016 just before the election as you have mentioned the possibility of others doing. If an individuals are disruptors here, that usually becomes obvious and they do not stay very long. It they try it multiple times the mods check their IPs and find them as you have done on your platforms in the past, VPNs notwithstanding.
And I joined because of all the mutual support for Trump I was reading on here and wanted to join the ranks in this support. And I have stayed since and not ducked off like a provocateur would do. But I came and read for many many years prior to actually joining. :)
My intentions were not against or to degrade the community, but just a simple reminder to help protect the community going into this election. And it woke up a bunch of folks on a Sunday night to create active participation on the board. Active Participation should be a #1 priority for every board, it creates traffic, and traffic is always good for a domain and community like this.
I always try to post something on Sunday that wakes folks up and creates active participation and traffic when I can. And still three days later it is being hit with replies, it apparently created some interest that brought users out of the wood works and onto the board. :)
If it offended you I apologize. It was not my intentions. My intentions were actually in support of the community and domain here. :)
