So, how many accounts do you have here?

I have two: Eug, and Eug Wanker.

IIRC, the main reason I have 2 is because I wanted to retire this one at 9999, but I ended up screwing up and going over 10000 anyway, so I just stopped using my other account. It's actually kinda embarrassing knowing I've spent so many waking hours on this forum, but hey, there's no use denying facts. (Is using a second account to freeze the first one at 9999 sort of like changing an odometer on a car?)

I only have this one, although I think I might have used some other nick back before forced registration.

(Also, in before "Why isn't this poll public?")

I've got one or two others that I've created and used solely for the purpose of furthering a joke/gimmick for a brief period of. Have never seriously posted under any other nick on this board.

But I'm still not saying what the others are.

One. I posted a real goofy post about three years ago with another name but I don't count that.

My real accounts have been lothar56, Gossamer, and Laminar. But you may know me from such joke accounts as "DeRailRoader," "ɥʇɹnoɟ ǝɥʇ ɹɐʞɐp," "CashSIxtyEight," and many more.

One of my colleagues sometimes says "Hi! It's Bob! You might remember me from the exhibition!" or something similar when calling people.

I've only ever had two accounts here. This one, and besson3c.
I'm not really besson3c, though, he's just a figment of your imagination.

I have one nick. I have enough drama, mystery, intrigue and tension in my life (and have since registering) to even want to keep up with a second one. And Eug, take a look at my post count and tell me which of us should be "concerned" about how many hours have been "wasted" online.

Just one, but like Chuckit I might have used a few different ones before you had to be registered to post here.

Three.

No joke ones.

My original (don't want to mention it at the risk of being banned ), a variation of that when I was banned so I could still PM with some peeps, and this current one.

It's amazing how long the secret has lasted. Not that I was terribly clever. I wasn't really trying to evade the ban. I just had a few friends on here I had no idea how to contact otherwise.

This is my one and only.

I've never created a single joke account. No reason to start now, I guess.

Think I've got two. Forgot all of my login stuff and recreated another one. The one I don't remember was much more creative.

5 Dakar accounts and one joke account I made this year that didn't get sussed out. Which is too bad, as I wished my genius to be revealed to the world.
