make an account, or don't make an account
this is a stupid idea and it's bad for the community
Offline
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
Offline
I strongly disagree-- this is *shudder* THOUGHT POLICING
what's next? WHAT"S NEXT???

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".

or you know just register an account

do you need help registering? I'm being serious

Henry
you did and I appreciate it.

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.

I decided to register, not becuz of any potential abuse of info but becuz it occurred to me anyone could log in and alter my posts (like the illiterate who threw in the cowward down below)
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'
Henry
Were you still logged in under the other account when you tried to register?

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.

fyi: before claimin' my new account (thanks again, C) I cleared my cache, did a hard reset of this old pad, and tried registerin' again...still a no-go

"We're sorry, you are not currently eligible to register." = increase the year on the default DOB

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

increment, decrement, what's the difference? lol
