It's Pinback's fault. It's always Pinback's fault.
Retro is going through a bipolar incident and when he is better he can return.Since Jonsey has run off RetroRomper, I do not believe he would subsequently allow him back on under a new name. At least he has claimed to have revoked (or suspended) Retro's membership. Or taken it "down for retooling."
We get a new registration every once in a while but most people do not stick around.New users here are very rare, I think Billy Mays is the only one over about the last five years.
No they don't, all are welcome.Applicants requesting admittance would get somewhat more heightened scrutiny due to their extreme rarity.
Really? Is that true? Are you sure?This person made a direct observation about Pinback that could only be made by someone having intimate knowledge of the messages and culture here. Such knowledge could not be obtained except by having the capability to read all the Above the Line forums here.
No, I would activate them if they didn't seem like a spammer, that's it. That's the only criteria.Jonsey knows who this person is, and would have to in order to raise their status to approved.
For the love of all missing women and girls in this country, never involve yourself in a professional investigation. Also you are wrong about your conclusion here.Therefore, I have come to the following tentative conclusions as to the probable identity of our (allegedly) new user Dross, or Bull Head, or Water, or whichever translation of the rune "Ur" that (presumably) he is using.
Probabilities of the identity of user Uruzrune:
90% Ice Cream Jonsey
5% Billy Mays (being immediately familiar with the meaning of the name)
3.5% Some other user or former user of Jolt Country except RetroRomper
1% An actual new user
0.5% RetroRomper
Nice try, Jonsey. Next time you want to fake a new user, first announce to encourage new users you're opening up all forums for reading by non-logged-in users, and second, that you're allowing autoconfirmation by e-mail response. Would have been more plausible. Which reminds me, I need to change something on TVTropes.
How do you tangle up posting a wiki link and being immediately familiar with something?Tdarcos wrote: Fri Oct 09, 2020 1:01 am5% Billy Mays (being immediately familiar with the meaning of the name)

In this thread, Tdarcos P.I. adds 90%, 5%, 3.5%, 1%, and 0.5%, and comes up 100% wrong.Tdarcos wrote: Fri Oct 09, 2020 1:01 am Given the limited history and information i have, I have decided to examine this user Uruzrune sua sponte and make a tentative judgment. If I have made an error in my thinking, I'm sure someone will correct me.
First, this user is a confirmed user. This board, unlike places like Wikipedia, does not support automatic creation of accounts on a user's request, a sysop has to approve raising an applicant to registered.
This user was approved yesterday.

Applicants requesting admittance would get somewhat more heightened scrutiny due to their extreme rarity. "This is not Caltrops" where they'll let any
Cretinous Reprobate walk in off the street. Or Wikipedia, but even they put restrictions on accounts less than 3 days old, and fewer restrictions after the account has 100 edits.
With the exception of Orc's Head Tavern unregistered users cannot even see the "Above the Line" (non-technical) forums messages here, let alone read them. Using a Firefox "porn mode" (private browsing) window, I have confirmed that only Orc's head and the technical (Below the Line) "JC Games" forums are visible to a non-logged-in user.

Given the automatic suspicion and "analysis" -- no.Tdarcos wrote: Fri Oct 09, 2020 3:22 pm So given that i was wrong, I apologize, and i would like to welcome Uruzrune as our newset member. Perhaps he'd like to introduce himself. Or herself if applicable.
