"new people"

Is it me or is there a lot of just arrived on the chat forums now and a lot of newbie aswell im not a newbie i was about a week ago but since i became a reguler i have noticed a lot of them.

Phycotickiller is my friend that I invited into the forums once and he seemed to like it. There was no Extra GAD compotition involved there.

I am new here, but alas I registed like almost a year ago, which excludes me from the competition.

Which is a shame, as I rock, and would walk over those other cr@ppy newbies

yes it is completely fakable. Invent an alias, set up a hotmail account using that name. Put your real address in on the Noob account. Change your address on your own account. Then win under a whacky alias and still get the prize sent to your house.

I think they have better ways of tracing than address. (I would hope they do anyway)

Even setting up a different e-mail address and having the address as a relatives or friends would work to to have a different user.

Not sure but I know a lot of places that hold your IP address so they can identify each user no matter if they change names or create different profiles but I'm not sure if that is used here.

Either way though if someone cheats it and wins I think SR should e-mail the rest of us their address and we can show our appreciation to the ungrateful little chap

Don't lots of ISPs use free roming IPs, so that you get a different one every time you log in. It wouldn#'t work for me either because I move around at work between Labs and Offices, and I have my computer at home.

Anyone logging in from an office or from AOL is all but untraceable via conventional means.

It can be done though.

Wouldn't it? I was Bubbly Babe for 43 days before I messed that up.

Tiltawhirl thought he was on a promise.

Hur hur! (as he'd say)

I'm sure they would be able to track it through their database's though.

The all seeing Snuggly will not be fooled.
