duplicate accounts?

sometimes i'll see the birthday thing at the bottom of the homepage, and see two accounts that are clearly the same person. i just assume the person lost the password or something and made another. but doesn't this seem a little crazy? we have:

---........

these can't all possibly be real people, much less DIFFERENT people. one, i happened to check the e-mail and it actually had a valid e-mail, but the domain name led to an obvious scam. isn't it possible to somehow delete these?

Those were all Ziamber accounts that I took the information off of when I was bored one day. Believe me, I'd delete them if I had the ability to do so. tongue Nothing to worry about.

Could you show me which one you checked that had a valid email, though? The thing about Ziamber accounts was that they never had a valid email, so they were never activated. Plus I deleted everything in the email field so I don't know why that would still be there. I wouldn't visit any of the domains if I were you, by the way; most of them are probably invalid but you never know what they might lead to, and they probably wouldn't be anything good.

most of them still have e-mails. the one with the actual domain name is ----

don't worry about me, by the way; i have NoScript.

Actually, most of those are just blank mailto: links, not email addresses. The email icon is still there because there used to be a visible email address and I never checked the "hide email" button. A few of them do appear to have escaped my filtering, though, which is odd. Thanks for pointing that out; now I'll have something else to do when I'm bored. Yay. tongue

I have NoScript, too, but I wouldn't just throw caution to the winds and go to suspicious-looking sites expecting nothing to go wrong. Plus there's always the possiblity of images of the "cannot unsee" variety. Just sayin'.
