By then, everyone has read past them and then don't respond. How the hell am I supposed to be vouched for? I don't know anyone and my trading sucks.

Pisses me off.

Sorry. had to vent.

It just boils my potatos

Yep. That was a real case of, "Hello foot" followed by a blast that could have been heard on Mars as you pulled the trigger.

You will not get away with multiple identities on any forum. Over at FF, TIT only has to vaguely suspect that you might have them to make it impossible for you to do anything at all - I know this because one of our members here was accused of a similar thingy, yet she only had one identity. It caused her endless problems.

You do realise that forum admins can read the IP address you are accessing a forum from, don't you? Doubtless there are sophisticated ways of getting around this, but most people are not that savvy. As a pca, I do not know whether members have multiple identities. I do know that I can ban members by IP addy, so this will also take care of any multiple identities. Maybe TIT picked up on the fact that there are more than one of you?

I had done nothing. Just a few posts at most. Then I didn't post there for the longer time, prolly over a year or something. THen when i tried to make a post i got the 'membership denied' thing right outa nowhere.

I'm thinking they were clearing out the memberships or something of people that were 'inactive participants' or something. I guess i will never know.

Ditto members who have not visited for a set period of time. Again, not something I would ever use - there can be umpteen reasons for not visiting a forum. Maybe prune the membership after 10 years, but that is a while away yet. We will all be rich by then, so it will not matter.
