How about a topic for random thoughts? You a thought that may not warrent a whole topic.

If this has been done then close this, but if not it could be fun.

Why yes it was. That whole pie thing was annoying after about 5 posts.

So I do e-mails at work.

One e-mail was something like michaelwstith@hotmail.com

This had me really thinking.

His name was (just an example not the real case) Michael W Smith.

But his e-mail was michaelwstith ....

So ... I got to wondering if he typed in stith by mistake instead of smith.

And if he was too lazy to make the right e-mail when he made this mistake and then just decided to live with this typo e-mail lol.

The T is too far away from the M on the keyboard to be a typo, that's why I think he did it on purpose.

There was this one episode on Star Trek (the old one, with Kirk) in which they were on a planet that made their thought come alive. Kirk said to his crew: "Don't think."
I've always wondered how to do that, not think.

You'd be surprised how a typo like that can happen. Happens to me all the time. Usually it's because I'm either not paying attention or I'm also thinking of another word and the letters get mixed in my brain.

I've got some thoughts from when I was young. Way back when I was a kid I was learning about Dinosaurs and how an asteroid (supposedly) wiped them out.

For some reason I thought the asteroid destroyed the entire planet... and then God sent astronauts angles to fix it....

I swear my mind makes me look stupid sometimes. :bang:

Haha speaking of childhood thoughts...

When I was little, probably early elementary, I always thought the trail of smoke from jet planes were what made the clouds! Like that's what their job was, to go up and make pretty clouds for the day. :lol:

I had nightmares about the headless horseman when I was about 7 years old.

Thinking "B-e-a-yootiful" every time I go to spell Beautiful... I do it every time, and have since the first time I watched Bruce Almighty... So, for about 9 years of my life.

Some weird things that happened to me a few years back. One day I met a dude on Xbox Live. I was very shy of my voice online so I only used my mic with my friends I know in real life. Well the guy asked me if I could use my mic. Since I didn't like using my mic online I sent him a message and lied saying my mic was broken.

Two hours later I accidentally stepped on my mic and broke it. O.O

Another day I didn't want to go to school. During my lunch I took too big of a bite on my sandwich so I had to spit it out. It kind of looked like barf so I lied to the teacher and said I was sick. I got to go home for the day to relax in bed. The next day I was sick for real with a stomach ache.

Just some weird coincidences.

Seriously? I do the exact same thing! Except I always thought of it as "B-E-A-U-tiful" instead of "B-e-a-yootiful". I also think "TO-GET-HER" when I spell together.

Who's that?

And I don't see a reason for multiple accounts. Maybe as a joke or something but at the end of the day the only real use for it is either cheating (forum games that require poll voting) or ban evasion. I know this isn't considered a serious forum but I think we still should considered the ways multiple accounts can be abused. Even if you don't intend to do that with an alternate account it's still the only reason to have one.

People could say it's a backup account but what could happen to your main account that isn't a ban/punishment to make you need a new one? losing your password can be easily solved and if someone hacks your account you could simply contact a mod/admin to solve the issue.

Also think about this. You know all those spammers? Have you ever considered that a large portion of them are the same person with multiple accounts just to spam? Alternate accounts should be considered to be a new rule.

Sometimes you just want to get away and show a side of you that is always lurking without the consequences of being tied to yourself. Maybe it's sneaky. Maybe it's untruthful. Maybe it is stupid and ultimately people will find out and judge you even more. But regardless, it doesn't stop the fact that at that moment you feel completely relieved and free.

Yeah... Until the mods look at your IP. :lol:

But I kind of see what you mean. I guess it isn't that big of a deal. Or at least hear anyway. Other forums have more strict rules. I remember back on the old forums that big shazam! storm in the "stupid topic" topic (Does Effie have foresight or what) and I ended up getting banned for a week and started to continue posting as a "quest". I was surprised that (Once I realized you could find out who I was by looking at m IP) no one cared I was bypassing the ban.

Well anyways I was just saying because there's really no legitimate/honest reason to have a second account and seemed useless to allow it. But I know what it's like to have a fresh start (sort of). Some times I wonder what it would be like if I had my name changed, moved to a new location, left all my possessions and started a completely new and fresh life. It would be some kind of an adventure. But luckily I have no reason to run away from home.

But you know what? I think this gave me an awesome idea for a story to write! Sweet! :D



But no really who is Ayamari?

I hope you share the story if you decide to do it! :)

Ayamari is this little wench that thought she was all high and mighty and liked to cause drama. We call her Schizophrenic jabberwocky now. She made fun of people, hurt some feelings, was sometimes fun, and gave us someone to pounce on. You missed those days.

Reminds me of the old me! :lol:

I assume she made multiple accounts and thought she would never get caught?

She was me. The mods knew about it, but the general public did not until I finally said something because I felt a little guilty after getting carried away one night. :P
