some do it for fun, the risk of getting caught is like a drug to them..

otthers do it to post a differing point of view or to start an argument with themsleves.

others do it just to flame or troll ....

some, do it because their original login gets stuffed up and they cant connect for weeks on end and finally in sheer frustration they make a DL using their work email instead of home ....

This comes from a person who can't tell a DL from a real human being.

Very hard to do nowadays, the DLs getting very clever, the Admins and mods having a hard time controlling them all...

	Put an end to popups!

the "welcome to our newest member" feature show the last member even if the login has not been approved yet.
in this case, it hasnt. plus, "exile's dl" is a new login cause he has problems with his original one.....

What humour? <i>Exile's DL</i>? Oh my sides are splitting...

I never thought it was a genuine attempt at a DL, but it seemed as good a place as any to a) point it out, and b) make 100% sure.

	Children and fools should be corrected . . . Remove this text

Or else how will they learn?

Yes, Dingbat, I believe that such is usually termed, "dry" or "deadpan" humor.

But relax, I'll explain, so that you'll understand.

A DL is usually a covert attempt to post; a secret. The whole purpose is to avoid detection by using the DL as a "disguise."

Now, creating a login called "Exile's DL" then comes off as a rather backhanded way of saying, "this is no DL at all."

Your sides aren't splitting? There's always slapstick. People getting hit in the face with pies is much easier to comprehend. It's so . . . visceral.

	Wow, original Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Despite the fact that is was blatently not a serious login, a fact that I certianly appreciate, you can dry it out in a baker's oven, and it still isn't funny. It was funny the first time. It may even have been funny the second time, but <i>X's DL</i> is just a statement of fact now, like "grass is green".

Much as I enjoy dry and deadpan humour, I have heard better. Sorry.

And please don't call me dingbat.

Allright, a quick explanation on what happened to the public:

* someone * apparently saw my posts about the login "Exile's DL" and sent me an PM, asking "Is this really Exile's DL?". Well, I answered it by:

quote: I'd guess it is... Many people have had to use DL:s because their original logins have stopped working for some reason or another. If you want sure information, ask MarkG (Or DanQ, nut in that case do not expect a very quick answer... or how could I know if Dan is fast to answer PM's?... ).

Now this *someone* believed that I was speaking about myself (hey, I'm not perfect... I can't always understand every single sentence completely... And I mean that it was my fault, I thought that *someone* wasn't speaking about me), and goes to tell the real Exile that I can't fool this *someone*. Well, Exile was mad at me, of course. But let me tell you all: No, I am NOT impersonating Exile, I do NOT have a DL (however hard it would be to believe) at all. It's all just a misunderstanding. Now chill up.
