I didn't realise that I did this till yesterday, but sometimes I glimpse at the first or second time posters in forums , and take a guess as to whether they have deactivated or not a week after joining . I then check their account to see if I was right .

My guesses are accurate about 95% of the time glasses

Have any of you ever done the same? If so, how correct are your guesses ?

(Ps: And yes ... This may be a good sign that I/we need to get a life)waving

I used to set my screen to NOT show the poster, just their words.

I would post replies without knowing to whom I was replying.
While modding, I would tag them that way also and did not
know who it was until emailing them. (Stopped though, when
I tagged another mod's post for removal hahahaha)

I got really good at guessing who it was before seeing their
name/profile/picture. For years..now I am just fond of guessing :-)

We are our words :-)

Oh that's cool, and I agree about us being our words.

I do that with the quotes, I'll try to guess who the poster is quoting and then go look. I'm only about 50% accurate but am getting better at it the longer that I'm here.

Oh and to peggy..... Yes, I've thought that way with myself too about ny needing to get a life, lol.

Haha! Nah Achavasliev. In your case, I was intrigued by one of your posts, and was curious about you becauseof it . I usually only play the deactivation game with first time or second time posters . You had gone way beyond that :)

Not difficult, cos I guestimate 95% of the new posters deactivate soon after clicking 'post reply'. I'm thinking maybe the percentage is even higher.
If only the rates of getting it right were this good when playing the lottery... I'd start playing again right away!

Caught it before I sent it :-)
But for all those who used to wonder if they were 'targeted'
by who they were, I could not get more fair than popping
them BEFORE I knew who they were.

And that's the way I rolled :-)

sometimes i play a game similar to soufies, but what i do
is pick a new thread with about 10-15 replies and scroll
slowly until the posters name is revealed then stop
if its someone i know, i guess what they will say..

i'm pretty good at it too..winking

I do that also peggy but in my case I have been doing it too much because I check profiles regardless of whether they are new or a seasoned veteran and I even checked my own profile to see if I was still active. Talk about needing to get a life. laugh
