hi there -

this is my NEW ID
my old id was drummer_girl

the reason i have changed ID is that something is wrong with he other one - for some reason its never let me put an avator on and i had 2 other WP members look on he account and see what was wrong - nd theythink tat when i made my ID that wrongplanet was in the process of changing server

i thought id make you aware of my change in ID and to request that you please remove drummer_girl id

the problem was that when iwent to make an avator it said to upload through the forum profile - which i clicked on but then there was no avator control panel on the page!

thank you

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Hi Flaggy! Thanks for letting us know. It won't be necessary to delete your old account.

The avatar looks nice!

whee tyvm

yep thats one of the S flags that hangs on my bedroom walls- it is horizontal though really- i flipped it round becase it was too ma pixels wide the other way!
i just put xhristmas lights behind it by taping them to the wall

no danger of fire or overheating - i checked
the flag i am using is a very thin one with porous material so any heat escapes straight away

Maybe alex likes to use the "We have over XX,000 members" argument a lot?

Or maybe because threads would get confusing if a bunch of people's accounts were deleted.

Deleting accounts messes up the user tables and the thread paging.

So we could make an aproximation towards -+14,000 I suppose, because of sockpuppets and former members banned and multiple accounts.

Deleting accounts is bad, because what if the user of that account comes back? I mean, I don't think they would, but who knows.

no, Flaggy made a new account due to her old account residing on the old server when it was being shut down. they did not transition over her account correctly and avatar system is buggered for her so she made her new account Flaggy and got avatars working

Yeah, remember when that user table crashed, and RedMageIngus was deleted? Chaos, that was.
