I can't even keep track of my own threads, nevermind a few different username's threads.

Always found it a bit baffling as to how people, or why people would do that.

It seems dishonest and sneaky to me.

I have a feeling there are quite a few people posting under multiple usernames.

yeah, it's wishy-washy. plus, I just don't "get it", really... what is the motivation... internet identity crisis??? x.x iic? ~is there such a disorder??? trolls do it to get around administration, I would think... but why anyone else goes through names, I've failed to grasp... seems like a waste of time, and it leads to confusion and more time wasting for others... lol what are the benefits...? are there benefits???

(this is more rhetorical (me pondering aloud/a'type(???lol) than actually looking for the answers, sorry)

In case anyone else is wondering:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_%28Internet%29

I wish I had the patience to describe one sock puppet master who had several personas and it eventually became hilarious to me, especially as it came to light that it was all from the same computer and thus IP address which got especially hilarious when he tried to explain how the really bizarre people including a Japanese cop, teenage girl stripper in America, moralizing Catholic who thought any sexuality in a movie was a reason to condemn it, and more were all living together and posting the same thing as each other, often forgetting which persona was which so the moralizing Catholic would ask which were the best booty shorts or the cop talking about how guys sexually harassed him all the time while he was working. Others couldn't stand him and he was banned, and once he realized he couldn't get around the IP (at least not without going to the library which would severely limit his time, I suspect he was physically & mentally disabled on some kind of disability). I don't even think he was a troll, I just think he was a lonely guy in bad need of some professional help.

I did see meatpuppet thrown around but not in internet context at that time~! haha

I'd have to agree with you, there are many such people who (at least most of society) would see as loners or lonely who will use multiple handles+identities to interact with others.

lol the guy you mention reminds me of that saying, (I think it goes something like...)
"liars must have good memories"
~something like that! haha

it's still not right in my eyes, to treat the forum (any forum), like ones own personal RPG... there are places for that. ne??

(note - I do get the valid reasons someone may have to or need to create a new handle, such as when the registry was wiped out and everyone here had to don new names... or having a burdensome one, or maybe not realizing there was an "inappropriate" inference related/borne to the name... somehow... that makes sense, clearly. lol there would/should be exceptions... but for personal amusement... I'm not so sure.)

that all said, I don't think there's too much harm coming from those who have (recently), but at the same time... respecting the rules... some things aren't meant to be compromised... I get that too. lol ~tres Capricorn~ /sigh

I rattled on again!!! sorry.

Is this an issue? Ok so my GK is getting updated. Idk. But is answering old posts with old user name wrong? I did that initially when i had changed mine. It i.e. the system could not delete the old one and wouldn't accept the old email id for the new one. So new email id everytime one has to have a new id for some reason or the other? Well good you came up with this because i didn't know that it was unethical. Ofcourse i have long stopped using the old one as the threads are hardly commented upon now. But may be there are several posters who are equally ignorant of this fact.
