WILD CHILD IS NO MORE

“This will be my last post until Matt can fix the problem with the troll who has my password. It's obviously a regular, and I think whoever it is, is a real ass hole!

See you later,

Remember, this is my last post under WC.

Bye!”

“I hafta admit... I think I saw 3 WC's...

The one with a different profile, and two with the same profile (did this by clicking the user name and seeing which WC's were now highlighted.

the thng gives me a headache.”

“No one has gotten a password. If you look at all the spellings of Wild Child, they are different. The original only has one space between Wild and Child while another one has three spaces between Wild and Child. So, it is all just a case of impersonation. And as a little hint, the impersonator is a fairly new person.”

“Matt

Those extra spaces only show up when you look at the code. Same as the two Joe Momas. There is a third variation on Wild Child. He started the Big Apology thread. He's the one with the weird eye. The code looks very different: Wίld Child . That may or may not belong to the real Wild Child. Your site is not transparent enough for me to tell.”

“Matt, is it possible to tweak the software so that the variations using the same letters but different numbers of spaces won't be possible anymore? That would clear up a lot of confusion.”

“The ί i is the oddest.”

“hmmm and then there is the one that has the "l" or something instead of the "i".

Is it possible to have user names recognized by the letters only (not the spaces or Caps?)”

“newbie...........berp”

“T its rude to berp in public.

Wild Child - Sorry I ruffled your feathers because 'you're a great person!'”

“Me too (but I already fessed up last week.)”

“Spaces, now why didn't I think of that.

I already told WC I wasn't going to post under this username anymore. Well, I did once, but it was because someone used one of my posts for satirical purposes. Ok, so this makes a second time, but I REALLY won't post with it anymore. It was funny once, but....”

“Ped-
That wouldn't take care of the odd i. I can't post it so you see what the code looks like but its made up of a string like this:& # 9 4 3 (without the spaces).
Hope that works.

By the way, I'm an imposter WC.”

“Yeah. That's you with the funny eye. Are you the 2nd imposter Joe Moma who posted the "Matt Plaese Help Me" thread? I thought that was the real Wild Child but Matt says no. Now I'm getting confused!

I'll leave it alone too. It was all in fun.

It does point up a weakness in the registration process though. Its been basically clean fun here but at some other sites, this was exploited to post personal attacks and racists messages. At outdoorreview some have even speculated that the stress from a personal attack caused someone's death due to heart failure.”

“Sheeeeeyat, if that were the case, Bacpac woulda done kilt most of us here.”

“The real WC, can you please give me your e-mail address, because I have something that you lost long ago.”

“BTW, That Jersy Boy is not me, my e-mail is Dom_corleone@hotmail.com NOT what ever that one is.”

“Even though I think WC is a bit of a trouble maker I think it's a shame to rip someone's name off and post under their (weather it's their real name or not) name.

Heck I got an e mail from Nigal@TheBackpacker saying they'd sell me the address for $5 (or something). I think it originated somewhere in Arkansas. lol!”

“I started posting on TT in 1995 or 1996. At that time there was no password required. It didn't take long before someone started trolling under my handle and I quit posting.

A year and a half later I tried again and shortly after that the passwords were implemented. The site has improved since passwords were required. I think all, but the must gullible recognize that Wild Child is different than W?ld Child.

Wild Child's problem is that he has used so many handles that we just assume it is one of his aliases.”
