Giant Brother is my boyfriend and we share an internet network and also frequently share computers. A couple people have noted that we share IP addresses from time to time, so I figure I should make a note ehre just in case that issue comes up.

Due to a couple of issues, forgetting passwords and not having access to the email addresses, and wanting to change names (and not realizing there was a proper way to do it) I ended up with 3 different accounts. I have finally been able to log back into my original account (this one) and would like to have my other two accounts merged under this name. Thanks and sorry for the confusion. The two accounts are Pelor and Talking Donkey.

Please merge them and all posts under Xealot7. Thanks you.

Due to going to university, I may, at times, log in under an IP that's used by others.

I don't know if any of them inhabit this site, though.

I don't know if it's too late to be worried about this, but Stickthief is my younger brother. We often swap between computers. I personally haven't ever logged onto his account on my laptop but I don't know what he's done behind my back...

[Edit: Please don't merge, delete, or do something that interacts between the two accounts when you get to banning them. We share internet.]

Wow, never realised multiple accounts was frowned on - serves me right for not reading here enough.

I have the following accounts:

Gunbarrel


Would appreciate if a mod/admin could merge all under my Greyskull account. Thanks (and sorry for the trouble).

I share a home, and often a computer, with the user Valgunn. I'd very much not like to get banned because she got here first.

So, thank you.

Just to cover myself... IlexGarodan and I spend a lot of time at each other's houses and I sometimes log in from his place/he sometimes logs in from mine, or we're at Starbucks and the mall and... well, you get the point. We move around a lot.

I had a different account to start with, but one of my friends got the password, got we two infractions, and make a ton of people angry at him, so I let him take it over (he moved it to his email). He's probably banned by now.
-Xavez
P.S. There is no reason to ban my account as well for having multiple accounts because he told me that he has changed the password; as such, I can only access only one account.

Default Re: Alternate Accounts

It dawned on me that I had an alternate account that's been around since 2005. The last time I used this one was three years or so ago; I'm more or less isolated to the ongoing games forum, which made me miss the severe punishment that comes with having another account. So as the rules dictate I would like this account to be merged with my main:

The Unborne

I have a younger brother who shares the same ISP, but rarely goes on whose account is named

Shadowstorm

Sorry for such a delay, I would appreciate it greatly if I can continue playing on these wonderful forums.

I live at a college with a high nerd population, so there are probably some others with this IP with shared internet and all. Also, sometimes I will use the site from the shared computers, so FYI.

Yeah, I should probably mention this just in case.

Me (Tasroth) and Thufir sometimes both use this computer. We are two different people, who happen to use the same internet connection when Thufir is here. So yeah, don't ban either of us for having the same IP address.

When i first got on to GITP, i had an account named forawesomessake, but i entered a difficult password, and when i tried to log back in it wouldn't work. I tried resetting my password, and trying to log in for about 3 hours straight, until i finally got sick of it, and made another account, which is the current account.
