Cantousent Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have an alt. Hell, I have two, but only one alt that posts. Rather than continue to derail the geeky/evil thread, I'll simply make a new thread. What do you think and why? If someone doesn't abuse his alternate account, why is it such a bad thing? If someone misbehaves, won't that become apparent very quickly? Why would you have an alternate account, for those of you who say yes? The fact is, alt accounts are a controversial subject on message boards.

Carnage Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 But aint most alt accounts just for a bit of fun? And aint they normaly done by the more senior members of the board can the post should not be taken to serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Some of the Alts are funny. I don't have one, nor do I plan on getting one. I can see how a person might want to break out of their mold/personality and post as another member. Leonard J. Crabs still makes me giggle. All I know is Commisar likes to talk war stuff and Endar will talk about anything . Whats so bad about that. Now when we find Jodos' alt, however... Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Darkside Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 There's no problem I don't think, as long as they're not abused. Heck I have one, though it's only got three posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, Alt accounts are dumb, I like to know who I'm talking to. Alt accounts are to a forum with not enough to talk about what genetic defects are to inbreeding.

mkreku Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Seriously, Alt accounts are dumb, I like to know who I'm talking to. And what makes you think you know one of the alts, but not the other..? In reality, you don't know who you're talking to, no matter what name the person takes on a message board on the internet, alt or not. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Cantousent Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Okay, that's not true in my case, Kumquat. I don't change my style one bit between my two accounts. I have a specific reason for the two accounts.

Volourn Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Alternate accounts are for cowards. It's a way to troll, and not take responsible for it. It's to cause trouble, and say it wans't me; it was that guy. I say if you are gonna be a jerk like me at least be upfront about it. Stop pretending.
