:thankyou:

Well, since I've settled on using my real name as my moniker, I'd suggest that Tony completely delete all unused accounts, and make a rule that every member can only have one account.

I realize a lot of Dwellars won't like my suggestion (especially Jim), but I think this would not only benefit us (I mean me), but Tony as well by making it a bit easier to optimize his system.

I don't think your suggestion is a good idea. Also, I don't think your suggestion is easily workable, especially wrt verifying that each human can have only one account. Also, how would you determine what is an unused account? Would you make that assumption based on idle time between posts? What about lurkers who make posts only very infrequently?

Why are you so obsessed with user names, drax?

Seems to work for Ex Isle Forums.

Anyway, it's just a suggestion. The decision of whether or not to implement it is Tony's alone cuz he owns the board.

Then post there instead. Why are you so desperate to get your old accounts deleted anyway? Once you post something on the internet, it's there forever, no matter what. Someone has a copy somewhere. Perhaps you should research what happened to the last guy who "wanted to make things easier for Tony" :lol:

Why do you care?

Because removing posts disrupts thread histories.

Just 'cause you can't be trusted with multiple usernames we should all do without that option?

Close down my Pilau and Carrot Pilausson accounts and I will kill you. I will physically kill you.

What do you think will happen to posts if an account is removed?

If you just want to lock an account, type some gibberish into notepad, copy it, and paste it twice into the password change dialog. Make sure to tell your browser not to remember it. Then log out, and close notepad without saving.
