    deactivate the Grandfather account

    make an account, or don't make an account

    this is a stupid idea and it's bad for the community

    you can't tell who is posting--
    sometimes they put a signature, sometimes they don't

    it's confusing as hell and serves no purpose

    I strongly disagree-- this is *shudder* THOUGHT POLICING

    what's next? WHAT"S NEXT???

    I’m a black gay guy and I can personally say that Obama did nothing for me, my life only changed a little bit and it was for the worse. Everything is so much better under Trump though. I feel respected – which I never do when democrats are involved.

    Grandfather has a good point

    I've known Grandfather for years,
    I worked with Grandfather in the Senate,
    you, Grandfather, are no Grandfather

    If that happens, they will simply go back to abusing the anonymous account.  At least this way you know you're not missing a friend who needs talking out of suicide by ignoring the account altogether which was my fear for "anonymous".

    also, I'm glad that you came over to the new site
    I appreciate hearing different points of view

    but I don't understand what the reason is for not creating an account, you're here. you're posting

    Because it is easier to see who is actually posting. It would take all of five minutes to set up a burner email account to associate with a unique Henry ID here if you are worried about misuse of the limited personal information attached to an account here, and that would be a courtesy to other members here.

    We're sorry, you are not currently eligible to register. is what I got for tryin'

    fix your site or leave off with the blather about registerin'

    Re: deactivate the Grandfather account

    I have created the account henry_quirk for you, currently it has the same temporary password you have been using elsewhere. Please change it as soon as you log in.

    Also, for anyone else interested, you do not actually need a valid email address to register an account, as there is no authentication. Put in "stubborn@screwyou.com" if you want, the system doesn't care.

    Decrease the year.  Increase the age.  Boardhost wants you to be at least 18.
