# Hmm...
Do you have a second account?

Mini poll bar

Edit: I'm genuinely quite surprised by this so far, I got the impression that most people had a second account, whether used for trolling-type stuff or simply just security.

# I have 3.
One is the first account I signed up with and forgot the login details, the 2nd is this one and the third was because I was approaching 20,000 posts and wasn't drunk enough to get my tackle out :D

# I really don't like all the spoof account and second account malarky

It's like a disposable account that can be used to do all sorts of things you'd normally not do, in fear of being banned.
A license to act like an asshole.

# Back in the day I had to make a second account because this one got messed up
If you changed your name to have an apostrophe it became unable for you to change it back or stay logged in.

In my profile there's a link to what I did in that month off from this profile. I got my first few front pages among other things.

# oh, harsh
I've had pretty positive responses on the whole in my time here, but a while ago I considered setting up a second account as a social experiment, because around that time I was getting loads of grief about 'well women get fawned over ON THE INTERNET and you get people being nice because you posted 'naked' pictures of yourself'.
To be honest I can see that you get treated with less leeway as a noob, and there is a certain amount of non-serious pandering, but I was very curious to find out once and for all if a 'male' newbie, who has read the FAQ and only makes small mistakes, rectified and apologised for, really would get treated that differently to my experiences.

Edit: Sorry, the link there was that I was curious if I'd get a front page if I was using a different username, and I'd be pretty gutted really.

# noobs get away with a lot
as long as they put *some* sort of effort.

However, reposting someone else's work, thats a beating.

# Back then everyone was a noob really.
There had been no b3ta bashes so other than some Londonites you just went on by what you saw and liked. I hadn't done that much worthy of a front page until then anyway, but it was nice to fill up the 10 FP's then retire the account. Just as an example - 1 FP was of a streaming webcam of a pub the night of the first mini b3ta bash (not of the pub the b3tans were at though) :)

It is interesting actually, since my other account was Ann Onnymouse. I didn't think about it but some people must have thought I was female with that name. To me it was just a play on words, but maybe it affected some people's view.

I'll admit I treat men and women differently in real life, not exaggeratedly different and not always deliberately, but not the same. On b3ta/the net I just go by what I see, there's no way of knowing either way most of the time anyway.

# I have a spare account but I don't use it for trolling...
I only use it to keep hold of my username if I'm changing my main account name for some whimsical purpose...

Also - que?

# Oof, sorry mate
That's my odd humour, in no way to be taken seriously. It's something I've said for years, and me and the missus are always saying to each other if the other makes a good point we can't be bothered to argue.
I think I may have got it from Monty Python, but the truth of that is lost to the mysts of time :)

# I don't know much about duplicity
Don't know much phenomenology.
Don't know much about derisive looks.
Don't know much about conspiracy nuts.
But I do know they're watching you.
And I know that 'cause i'm watching too.
Oh what a wonderful conspiracy.
