Guest posters back in the day.

[Lizardizzle]

So I was looking back at some older threads for some reason, and I noticed that there were many posts with a name and "guest" under the name, usually from 2008 and back.

I was just wondering, What were guest posts? well before i joined this awesome forum, i lurked for months, and i never say a button that said "Post as guest."

Was there one? Am i crazy? would a guest be well known, or just some random dude? I'm just interested to find out.

Removed accounts.

 

[Lizardizzle]

that's it? people who have posted then deleted they're accounts? Well that's boring.

Yeah, I tend to purge old accounts from time to time and all their post info turns to 'guest'.

 

[Lizardizzle]

I see, question answered. I think we're done here.

but maybe a way for unregistered people to post might work... Probably not though...

How else would we get new members?

The registration system is also a subtle method of weeding off the most incompetent. Sometimes I don't think it works.

Well, gee, Barnz, as much as I'd love to, this place just has a certain air that brought me back.

Namely that those who remember me hate my guts.

You'll learn to love me after a while! :thumbs:

Besides, I was only proving the statement that sometimes the registration fails at getting rid of the most incompetent people who try to join.
