What kind of paradoxical parable is that?
Why ask myself why I do a thing that I know I don't?!?? Should I petition my query to a computer?
Are you talking about a linear answer Nexia?
Somehow I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore  .

lmao.
ZUB - There are bots that are sent out to thousands of forums and they do things such as create new accounts, most in an attempt to
create spam or gain the access needed to gather information
for spam.
Exmaple A: A bot is sent to register here on vb.org and then crawls through the site and picks up all of the emails from the programers who put it for donations.
Example B: A bot is sent to a male fitness forum to advertise pornography.
Since they are bots which go through thousands of forums, a lot of them have the same name.
That's what nex was trying to explain.
On the other hand
A lot of people just have a load of listings under their username simply because they've been surfing the internet and vbulletin forums for years now, and have built up a plethora of different accounts in time.
