Why do posters have two accounts? (Not gimmick accounts)
 

So, I just noticed a posters second account today. It just clicked. "Holy [censored], thats ______." So, why do people feel the need to have alternative accounts on here?

When we talk about the old school OOT, this is something that (I think) was foreign to it. Again, just people being honest, and bullshitting with each other. But seems to be pretty trendy in new OOT.

Even the mighty [censored], he had NC, and didn't hide it. He would post in both, even using different voices. What the [censored]?

I understand gimmick accounts, and even have a few lame ones myself. But, like why do you guys need to have these secondary personas on an online message board? Is this what trolling is? Is this what happens on other message boards? (this is the only message board I have ever frequented, so I have no idea)

If this message is in poor taste because it is essentially about other posters, then please delete. But, I have tried to leave out anything specific. Oh yeah, heres a poll!

I don't rat out other posters. But I may make threads that point attention so that others can do the dirty work for me.

Agreed, why do people do this stuff? *-worthy.

I'm not nearly a functioning adult, but I have only this one account (lame gimmicks that I used once excepted)

That was a joke? (I mean my response to Daryn was a joke)

The point of the thread is to ask about the situation. We have a few posters in the last few weeks who have stated that they don't use "this" as their primary account. I think its a good point to discuss this phenomena.

I have 2 - but thats only because I have one that is the same as most of my Poker ID's....and opened it when I started building a bankroll...That has 12 posts on it or possibly 13...

This one is the account I set up so that after 3 months of reading anonymously I didn't have to look at 10 posts per page etc...

I dread to think what my first ever post was....

Re: Why do posters have two accounts? (Not gimmick accounts)
 

well i know why i don't have two accounts, i had a gimmick account that had potential but i stopped early on b/c it felt weird pretending to be another person, like i was lying or something.

i am surprised at the votes though, not one person has admitted to having more than one non-gimmick account?
