Hello George!!

how did you know?

Hi feeling

still havn't answered my question, how did you guess?

Lil guessed, she told me

anyway, not feeling anymore,
completely new identity....

Sorry morierty

Most people on here are rather easy to spot when they take on a new U# and name...

It's their style and pattern of posting that gives it away.


Now, if they were to subscribe to completely different conversations under the new number, *and* take on a completely different personality, *and* make sure that what they posted was written in a different style, *and* they didn't misspell the same words, *and* were completely consistent with a different pattern of capitalization, punctuation and line length.... *then* they'd be more difficult to spot.

But I'm afraid it's kind of difficult to keep up that kind of pretence for very long.

Indeed

Morierty!

You want to be different? Then be different!

We will let you play your characters just as you want!

Please don't look for another account.. you will drive the ACE's ty!

We will respect your wishes... honestly!

Of course we will

how can i shut down the frinky account? because at the moment it's not being used...

i think i can stay as morierty.

You can't really shut down the Frinky account. You can un-sub from all the convos on there, you can empty the page, remove any journal entries, and even remove the name so it goes back to just a blank page and the U#, and it will look as if you were never there.... except for the fact that anyone who has the patience to trawl through tons of backlog might find that U# on some of Frinky's old posts, but that will still only link back to a page with nothing on it but the U#.

This is because it would seem that the BBC never throws anything away. If you have the patience to dig through the backlog of convos on Ask H2G2, you would be able to find a question from someone named "Nighthoover" who wanted to do the same thing. They gave him the exact same advice I just gave you... except that by leaving the name Nighthoover on the account, he's managed to develop a cult following! (I think I know who it was, anyway - just someone who couldn't remember their password or had trouble signing in one time, so opened a new account, then when they managed to get in on their old name, went back and tried to get rid of the new account...)

mmmmmmmm.... how can you delete the name?

You can delete the name by going into the area on the left of you PS marked Preferences... Click onto you name in that area and delete then click onto update!.... frinky will be all gone!...... (shame though)


lil xxx

Yeah, it is a shame... I rather liked Frinky.

he was a bit of a prat though, i mean, what about the way he stumbled into the boardroom like a headless chicken.

no i think that i have to destroy frinky's identity, back in a few minutes.

So did I... I was only joking when I called him George




lil xx

doesn't matter. it wasn't the name george, it was the feeling of becoming something like don mavaldo, y'know, the brain...yuck..
