"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

As long as they're not being used to break any rules or do harm then I see nothing wrong with them.

This. Besides, how would you stop someone from making an alt? Even if you make some sort of reward for people to not make an alternate account, it won't stop them.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I think that they're fine ONLY if the first account has been hacked/deleted.

The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates
The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead's the rising of the horns, ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days I will have to run, away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste of the blood on my lips, again

I have an alt. I don't have a problem with them.

In order to get members to keep one account, there needs to be rewards. Getting extra features for being higher titles and such would probably do the trick.

Describe for me, aside from reincarnating yourself after a forum ban, what sort of purpose an alternate account would serve?

When I changed my gamertag I wanted my account to match my username so I have 2 alts.

To be honest, this is alt account. I signed up originally around 2004. I was inactive and got deleted. OT: I don't really care much for alt accounts.

If it matters enough, you can use an alt to ask or describe things that you would find embarrassing to post on your main account, which a lot of people know.

PS: WHERE'S THE MAIL?!

Yes where is the mail?

It depends really - what are those alternate accounts being used for? If they're being used to make valid contributions to intelligent discussions, then of course they're not bad. However, if they're being used for more nefarious means, then to the depths of oblivion they should go!

Alts are a reality of free accounts. But they're little more then an annoyance.

I have an alt for this purpose.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Point.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

Hey baby, you're just like my big toe. I'm gonna' bang you on every piece of furniture in my house. ;)

I see no problem with them.

I have two accounts for one reason: I changed the email for my gamertag, and thus made this one, so that my Bungie.net account could stay linked to my gamertag.

Posting from a device/network which you do not know is trustworthy? That's what I use my alt for. When browsing on college PCs or mobiles, I will use my alt 100% of the time.

There's also changing your name, which is otherwise impossible.

Unless of course you befriend ALL the forum ninjas and make them believe you'd make a great candidate, but comparing the effort of the two, it's far more economical just to make an alt.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

I can see them being used for two things:

1. To pass time while you are banned.
This is bad because people should have to suffer the consequences of their misbehaviour.

2. To make yourself seem popular by replying to your own posts.
And this is just plain sad.

I sometimes like to talk to myself. I also wish other people not to know this about me. Hence, alt accounts.

Oh, wait...
