Posters closing their account

Vito Corleone

Do you ever get kinda irritated when a well known poster closes their account? Recently two well known posters who I liked closed their account. I didn't always agree with their opinions and sometimes they annoyed me but all the same I liked these two.

What annoys me most is I know the two of them have probably re-regged and now I have to figure out who they are! :P

Anyway, have you ever been annoyed at a poster closing their account?

Big Nasty

I'm more annoyed about repetitive threads tbh.

So basically what you are saying is that you liked to have a good ol' argument "debate" with them, right?

People get bored with their reputation and want to reset things. Makes things easier.

Sir Osis of Liver.

Too many drunken /embarrassing posts perhaps.

I agreed with them a lot actually, probably most of the time. Just sometimes I completely disagreed with them!

They're two very well known posters, but I won't mention who they are cos' of the charter! :pac:

I hope Femme_Fatale re-regs, Iove her posts.

I closed my old account (and another before that). Don't think anyone was annoyed though, probably relieved more than anything

I often consider re-regging tbh, but I can't get myself do it.

Whenever I see a new account I try to figure out who they used to be. Some are obvious, some invent a new persona. If I ever re-reg I'm going to pretend to be a man.

She's one of the posters I was talking about. She re-regged before and I figured out who she was. I hope she re-regs again!

I was sorry to see your last account closed, it took me ages to figure out who you were!

Seven or eight people guessed who I was a re-reg of within a few months of me opening this account. My posting style is quite obvious, apparently. Basterds.

I don't know why but I do enjoy it when well known posters who are twats get banned.

It's like when you're in a pub and the guy who's been a twat all night gets chucked out.

Seriously hate people who close there accounts to start a new persona if you can't stand by what you say then don't say it at all,

I think re-regging is for cissies.

It's pointless as well sometimes as some of them are easy to identify anyway when they do comeback.

Agreed op, its not the same since dudess left

I'm sure she'll be back.

I personally don't see any personas on here at all, only posts. Nor do I spend my spare time trying to find a persona and match it to a potential re-reg. I also don't start threads about said re-reg's.

alleystar

I've been reading AH and other forums in boards for 4-5 years now, even though I rarely post it's always obvious who the re-reg's are. Same posting style, same story. No point really unless you're embarrassed of your post count, I always thought that was the sole reason for creating a new account tbh.

I closed my previous account as I was being harrassed and stalked by a non-boards member. The boards team couldn't have been more helpful about the whole thing.

I haven't invented a new persona but I don't post at all in the forums I used to post in as I do not want to have any hassle and don't want to have to ask for the help of the boards team again.

There a huge number of posters I miss. I've been a reader and member of boards for about 10 years so I've seen a good few come and go.

I always find it interesting when people of similar mindsets and opinions have similar usernames or usernames from the same tv show or movie when they don't know each other at all.

Also a big fan of Femme Fatale so will miss her.

...as that's the purpose of a forum - expressing negative or positive opinions depending on what the thread is.

And no, I don't only post in threads I agree with, I can't speak for you though.

Femme Fatale was a rereg of Dudess. Probably for the best she took a break, She was getting angrier and angrier. Dublin Eve was another angry poster.

I know FF was a re-reg. Didn't strike me as angry at all.

I looked back at Dudess' account, I don't believe Femme Fatale is Dudess! This will really shock me!! :eek:

There are more reasons than that. I loved my high post count, don't know why :pac:

But there are other reasons people re-reg. I would stand by anything I've posted from previous accounts, if called out on it. I closed my previous account for reasons I won't get into here. Suffice to say that re-regging stopped the issue that caused me to close my account in the first place.

Generally easy enough to spot who is who due to posting style and whatnot. Everybody has their own reasons for doing it and I don't mind.

I'm just glad that some people that do leave abruptly, end up finding their way back; some not so much though.

EveDublin I believe. Would you spot her if she reregged?
