Keeping Track of AlsoRan
Created | Updated Sep 3, 2019
AlsoRan has had a problem with her connection to h2g2. I've never got to the bottom of what causes it - whether it is a problem with the software, or just the way she uses. But the upshot is that she on a fairly regular basis has been cut off from h2g2 and has re-registered under a new name in order to continue. This means that there are a number of AlsoRan accounts around h2g2, most of which she can't use anymore. I've tracked down a few for reference purposes and recorded them here:
| UserNumber | Name | Created | Last Posted |
|---|---|---|---|
| U186476 | Also ran | On or before 21-Oct-2001 | |
| U186829 | Also ran 1 | 5-Nov-2001 | 04-Oct-2003 |
| U516677 | Also Ran1-hope springs eternal | 29-Oct-2003 | 09-May-2007 |
| U2963263 | doctorDickyBird | 15-Jan-2006 | 16-Jan-2006 |
| U3082411 | AlsoRan | 30-Jan-2006 | None? |
| U9487216 | radiantjoiedevivre | 24-Aug-2007 | 06-Jan-2008 |
| U10783351 | Alsoran2 | 07-Jan-2008 | 16-Jan-2008 |
| U12340544 | AlsoRan80 | 15-Jun-2008 | 23-Jun-2011 |
The oldest name doesn't display properly in h2g2 anymore. Clicking on U186476 should bring you to Also ran's home page. It brings you to a blank home page saying she has never done anything or been in any conversations. But I've found two different conversations where she definitely posted: Wheelchairs and Swimming. As far as I can make out, the wheelchairs one was her first posting on h2g2, on 21 October 2001.
It's now (as of Sept 2019) more than 8 years since AlsoRan has posted on h2g2. I don't think she'll be coming back.
