    This was the standard used by the previous admin, emphasis mine. If he was still the admin, several of us would have been banned already, including me. So let's fix this before the new admins arrive.

    That does imply that Dean could read whispers. Which I would have expected, anyway. I guess this forum must really have been forgotten. Sad.

    Also no changing your forum name to that of another forum member should be allowed. That rule would certainly stop some of the antics of late. Perhaps the rules should be that one must mention Mr. Cleese or his work in the posts, which is what I just did!

    Would it be impossible to use different computer's and and set up two different account accounts with different names? No that would be gon too far. Computerites will have to figure that one out.

    you can set up 2 accounts ith different names on the same computer. Because then the name's aren't the same. But you have to have a different password for each. But you can't have the same names.

    Can't that be avoided since each computer has its only one address? Or not?

    Could we have some kind of test for eligibility for participation, like passing a Python/Cleese knowledge test. It's rather weird and disconcerting to have well known Python/Cleese sayings/anecdotes/arse greeted with blank stares and complete lack of familiarity by others. The fun of a forum like this is the Pythonian familiarity.

    What do others think? If this gets buried I may start a new thread on this. It has been a demotivator for me.

    There are complete MPFC and Fawlty Towers box sets. Couldn't we have everyone who doesn't already have one be forced to do so and watch them all, then pass a test on pain of expulsion and beatings?

    No, Zelda, I did NOT try to decipher your password. I tried to change the name on my account to the name on your account, because somebody suggested that someone changed their name to that of another user and I wanted to see if it could be done. It can't be done.

    You cannot have two accounts on this forum. Dean said he wouldn't allow it. And now that he's not an admin, NOBODY can have a new account. It doesn't matter how many computers you have.

    BUT---

    IT'S NOT THIS WAY NOW, BUT--

    it is possible to have two accounts for the same website on the same computer. A lot of websites won't allow it, but if they do, you don't need a separate computer for each account.

    "good idea Thumb , but we need to attract new members , fans or not , then convert unbelievers"

    Don't agree with this, big. How do you train a Pythonian. It can't be done. You need to start off absurd, with a touch of the ridiculous, and a lot of specific knowledge of the Book of Armaments.

    A sense of ridiculous by itself is not enough. One need to speak fundamental Python, I believe. I want an entrance exam, and rotating knives.

    Arse.

    How can I change my password without remembering my old one? Because if next time I'm asked, I won't know it.

    I don't know what the fuck happened to me today. As I was brainwashed or something. I can't remember any of my (new) passwords. No facebook, no twitter, no forum... I just hope I still use the same skype password... I could change my twitter password, but nothing else so far (I don't dare to try it on the forum, cos I might not be able to come back!).

    Passwords are easy. Use the same one for everything, something very simple, like your name. First name, or last name, doesn't matter. As long as it is something you can remember when you land up a nursing home. Then give it to the orderly, written out in capital letters.

    Most nursing home employees make better than minimum wage. They cut out all the minimum wage jobs and gave the higher paid people extra duties to make up for it. I think they think that saves money, but do they really want the RNs making beds?

    But I meant "Registered Nurses". In the US, a registered nurse has a bachelor's degree at least and have passed their professional exams. They get paid extra for that.

    Until I'm not asked for passwords or until my machine keeps remembering them, I try not to panic...

    (I think the password for the forum came to my mind, but I don't dare to try it until we haven't got admins).

    Anther idea is to write your very simple password on the nursing home bulletin board in indelible red ink. Set your laptop to explode when that password is entered. If it's a PC there's a good chance that will happen spontaneously anyway. Loads of collateral damage.
