Leaving forums

Why do people who decide to leave a forum, change their names and then go back?
If I left here, couldn't I come back as 'Mups' still?

Do people do that Mups
We have had a number of people who have changed their names but it was because they decided their original choice did not suit them or they didn't like it after all .

Those who leave and come back with a new name have probably forgotten the old name they joined with...
We have had the odd member who has been banned and tried to re register with a new name but they are quickly spotted.

Technically people do not 'leave' their accounts remain open
even if they cease to post so yes Mups you could go away then return still posting as Mups .

Oh, I see. Thanks Meg.
Another question if I may - does my membership last forever, even if I didn't post for a year or more?

That always irritates I couldn't join as Julie because we already have one I think she made one post years ago so I ended up having to think of something else. Would be nice to release some of the names from accounts where people are clearly not returning IMO

Hi Julie if someone hasn't used their account for a long time and was not a regular poster anyway you can always ask Admin to review the situation.

The member with the username I wanted to join with has posted once to say hello, and that was five years ago.
