Do you have an active alternate account?
 
It's a little too late for me to go into great detail about this question. Besides, its very self explanatory.

1. Do you have an alternate account?
2. If so, do you use it? Or do you just lurk the forums?

Snooki February 13th, 2010 9:56 PM

No, I don't see the point of a second account.

Ho-Oh February 13th, 2010 9:58 PM

Aww Nick, your tl;drs are so much fun :(

I have 17 or so alternate accounts (why that amount? don't ask); though none I'm active on. I only use them to post in certain threads occasionally if a question relates to its username - or just for fun.

Sammi February 13th, 2010 9:59 PM

I have an another account, but it's pretty inactive. I made it to change my name back in 2005 when there weren't name changes. Last time I used it was for a, um, special conversation with a certain member.

I only use it when I want to lurk but want to stay logged onto an account, and that's such a rarity, that it's usually months between me logging onto it.

Timbjerr February 13th, 2010 10:15 PM

Technically speaking, Timbjerr is my alt account, but since I've more or less abandoned my original account, I'd count this my main and my old account my alt. :P

I only use my original account for the lulz in OT nowadays or to contribute to my insanity by VM'ing myself. XD

TwilightBlade February 13th, 2010 10:15 PM

My alt died a while ago. Once I remember the password, I will use it to hide from nubs. :(

I just view PC as a guest to lurk or cloak myself as invisible to stalk.

jigglyppuff8 February 13th, 2010 10:16 PM

My alt is my supporter account, so I use it for blogging. Outside of that and the occasional complaining about how stuff looks in IE, not really.

Uecil February 13th, 2010 10:20 PM

i have never thought about it, i just think that it'll be difficult managing 2 accounts =/

Jack O'Neill February 13th, 2010 11:01 PM

There actually used to be a time when maintaining alternate accounts was illegal. Even though it's tolerated nowadays, I never did see the point of it to begin with.

Synaesthesia February 13th, 2010 11:45 PM

No I dont have any. I dont really see the point why would you get one?

curiousnathan February 14th, 2010 12:20 AM

I do indeed have an alternate account.
My old one, was originally going to be my only one but I got into to much trouble. I didn't mean to get into trouble, I was new then anyway.
This account is the offcial account and I try not to recieve any infractions.
I have 2 which will expire in 2 weeks time. They are my first infraction points in a year! Like the whole of 2009.
My other account is inactive I never go on it. Never.

Binary February 14th, 2010 12:27 AM

Nope, I don't see any reason for it.
I wonder why people make alternate accounts.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ February 14th, 2010 2:42 AM

Nope, but it's an intriguing concept... I may create an alt account if I get sick of my current username (due to the name change removal and the fact I'm not sick of my username yet to want to change it).

Halcyon February 14th, 2010 3:59 AM

Nope, I have an alternate account and it is dead for idk one year or something? XD

mondays suck February 14th, 2010 4:36 AM

I had another account some months before this one, but I didn't use it that much and forgot my user details, so I created this one.

Lady Gaga February 14th, 2010 6:16 AM

Ya, I have one, but I never used it. It was just a name holder if I ever wanted a change, but other then that, I really don't see the point of two accounts. Its confusing, and is just really pointless, unless there is a really good reason for having one.

poopnoodle February 14th, 2010 6:22 AM

I created one in order to reserve a username, but when I finished making it I was like why did that just happen it's going to be a hassle to switch out my usernames. I guess if I get super active over the years I'll use the alt to lurk a bit.

Jordan February 14th, 2010 6:25 AM

1. Do you have an alternate account? I have four alternate accounts. If you want to know which ones are those, look in the signature, it'll say the five names of my accounts (including this one, whose name will be changed to Jordan permanently soon).
2. If so, do you use it? Or do you just lurk the forums? All four accounts are actively used. I use them for the purpose of having different themes, signature styles, usergroups, and forum skins. Three of them were also used as name placeholders, but that's no longer a purpose because changing names is now no longer an option. I post using alts quite a bit in sections outside of OT because I want my post count to stay relatively low on my main account (this one). The reason? ....I don't know myself. I guess I just want a small post count? XD

alisaie February 14th, 2010 6:26 AM

I have two alt accounts. One of them manage a club so I usually log onto that one when I want to post in said club, and then I perhaps wander about with it.

Then I have another one that I haven't touched in a few days/week or so.

The main reason I have them is for a theme that isn't Red dumb, I know. But I must have my Red on this account forever and ever~ ♥. They made kick into more use once I read a certain post count though. Post Count 1010, hehe~

Ayselipera February 14th, 2010 8:13 AM

Yes I do have a second account because I was thinking of changing my username and I wanted to see if I liked the way my new name would look.

No I don't use it at all. I guess it's nice to have around just in case, but I think it's a waste of space. I rather be able to delete it.

Legobricks February 14th, 2010 8:35 AM

I don't. Now I would say I don't understand why, but'd occured to me that it's somewhat the same as having two coats or two pairs of shoes or something.

BHwolfgang February 14th, 2010 12:21 PM

I never see the point of having an alternative account when one could do everything on his or her main account. That being said, I'll probably never make one in my lifetime, unless if something dire happens that would change my mind.

Eh, only time can tell...

mikey February 14th, 2010 12:31 PM

Nope, I only have this account.
I don't see the point in having two.

Honest February 14th, 2010 12:49 PM

1. Do you have an alternate account?
Yep. It's Bloodex. :P

2. If so, do you use it? Or do you just lurk the forums?
I don't really use it only has 1 post but I do like to sign on on it a few times, like when I want the VMs in my actual account to clog up. :P

Eurydice February 14th, 2010 1:44 PM

nope...i dont really see the point in them
