Delete his ass! (But mouseglove can stay.)

LOL!

Yeah, and we'll let you be the one to tell SRD why he can't thank us for his birthday greetings anymore.

Hehe. With comments like that, it's a wonder why SRD never comes here. Heh. -jay

Bah, my Mr Fixit ID is not only funnier than most people's original ID's, but he's more useful, too. He's done at least 5 chapter dissections, you know.....

BTW, is there any way to merge a watcher's extra ID's into his/her main ID? That way any salient posts wouldn't get lost.

Not that I've seen. That's why I said if you have ids you want to keep, you're welcome to them. The posts don't get deleted, they just get marked as "Guest," but you'd never know who the original poster was.

In that case, NOWgirl and dANdemonium can be axed (I like Fixit almost as much as dANdeLION, so I wanna keep him). I'll pm you the email address for those 2 when I remember it.



How about removing all those "members" who have never posted, too? That accounts for way more confusion than the extra ID's do.

Remove Ripping Yarns.

There are 864 separate accounts with at least one post, and another 600 with no posts. I'd be surprised if there are more that 100 2nd accounts....if you really want to delete this stuff, you'll get way more bang for the buck by deleting the Zero Accounts.

I am forced to agree with Mr. Lion. In any case you have to go out of your way to notice the number of accounts there are in the first place. Kind of like going through someone's medicine cabinet when you ask to use their bathroom.

Ahh, Captain Analogy strikes again.....like a wet noodle falling from a tree at re-entry velocity

Calling someone 'Captain Analogy' is like

Thank you, Captain Obvious. Honestly. We will deal with the zero-post accounts as well. I asked for duplicate accounts because there seemed at one point to be an issue logging in, so people were creating identities in the hopes of gaining access.

600 zero acconts minus the newbies, plus inactive accounts plus duplicate accounts and advertisers makes around six hundred still, and since I want to be as thorough as possible I see no reason to ignore this.

Please don't delete me. Not only would it be illogical, but it would be just plain mean.

You should be using this as an avatar:

You're the last guy I'd take avatar advice from, Jay.

I rarely use my alter ego. Tonic something or other.

so I get the wgd's when you delete all these folks, right? also any items that may get left behind.

Yeah!
Any goodies going back into the pot?

Doubt any of the duplicates have items for release. The gold just goes away.

I'm overworked and sleep deprived at the moment, so for the record, I've lost track of who's joking and who's not (except for Lord Foul, and I relaly don't know if that's a compliment or not). If you mentioned an id to delete in jest, then I suggest you edit your post, or it's going to go away.

Lord Foul was joking, but I wasn't.

I'm going to hurt you.
