How many of us actually fly the forum alts? This one doesn't do much, mostly flies a Pilgrim and does a little scouting when I do not want multiple units from the same corp all piled in together or when I want to do a little fun ratting. There are long range plans for this character but it's a long grind to where I want to be and exacerbating the situation is my new found determination to not use extended training queues, makes things a bit more challenging plus saves me a few bucks/pounds/lira/marks/drachma etc. (Last time I was in Europe was way pre-Euro days.)
I wander fairly far but mostly I'm in Placid or Verge Vendor unless I'm chasing a bargain deep into racial home space, think battle cruiser or the like. Just never have noticed a frequent poster, and I was wondering...

No right or wrong. Sorry, I don't understand the title.
As for the question, I post on my main. I've occasionally posted with my industry alt and she flies very often. She's very active in game, making ISK. I just explodify it all.

Often they are in NPC Corps or never undock as posting in the forum on mains can draw wardecs. There are various reasons people use them.

"alt"
I consider myself a multibox equality activist. It's offensive to call thoroughly trained characters "alts."
most of the time I'm not so much "flying" my forum mains. Technically I fleet them.

But is that really what happens when posting with a main account? For example, this account is my main. I post with this one because it was my first account and the one I spend most time on. However, just because it is my main does not mean it my highest risk character. What happens if I anger someone? They war dec RvB or come after a combat character that either flies something they will have trouble ganking or is a cheap ship i already wrote off because I undocked. The same can be said for many members of larger groups. Yes there is making sure you present a good face to the public, but again what is my risk? What is the risk of say a Pandemic Legion/Horde/Marmite posting on their main account? They already face war decs and what not. Griefing isn't exactly easy or rather it would not differ from the existing state it already occurs.
Yet, for myself, there would be more risk posting with my hauling/Indy alt. If I drew attention to that character, working around war devs and such would be a pain. I doubt I am alone in this regard either. This is why I always found the claim of "post with your main" to be dubious. Yes for some the main represents the most risk, yet for many it really is no where near as risky as posting with their alts. Now granted, a forum alt is different in that it may truly exist only to post. Still, I think there should be some reminder that posting with a main is not always to most risky choice for many.

But my main is my alt and my alt is also my main so I don't know what you're talking about.
Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

My main has been in a coma for so long that I fear he has lost touch with all the changes ccp has brought to 'our' game.
I supported the, "warp to zero" campaign but I'd say about 50/50 since then.
IMO: A Capital Ship should NOT be allowed to jump through a gate. I mean, have you seen how big they are?

I have a stable of characters.
My oldest was created in early '06 when I discharged from the military and went back to school. That's not my main, though It was for a time.
Later I created a new character on a new account during the summer of '07 when I forgot my credentials for the first account. That's not my main, though it was for a time.
Sometime before the release of the Sister's ships, I made a new account to make a Sister of EvE. That's not my main, though it was for a time.
I made Gadget just before the Great Industry Changes because I always wanted to play around with industry, but pretty much felt blocked from entering due to the closed nature of research at the time. She's not my actual main, but she was for a time.
My most recent character was created when I stepped away after being discouraged by the IronBank mess and the opening of SP sales. I came back for a lark just as the shoot-a-rat-for-SP thing started, and I wanted to start fresh and see how far I could get. Then they can canned the SP opportunity system. Meh, to see it go, but it did bring me back to the game. That character is not my main, but it was for a bit.
So, since Gadget is my public face, I'm pretty sure she's the closest character I have to a Main at this time.

Do Little was created as a forum ALT - hence the name. Someone told me it was the right thing to do if I wanted to be active on the forums. Nowadays he does quite a bit as a well trained member of my industry team but he doesn't fly often or far. He only needs to undock to collect his PI. |

Its wrong for people to hide behind an alt when making discussions that are bad advice, inflammatory, etc, because they're hiding from the consequences of actions on their main, mostly of people thinking their dumb but also of people maybe ganking them in game for what they said. Its wrong, and I for one will step up and claim it if OP won't.
Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

I post with this character because I suck at this game and I don't want everyone laughing at me! I'm not really sure if I have ever played this character other than character creation, I actually was showing some one how to create a character when I made this one. |

This guy goes through gates, sits as eyes and is currently parked in Jita. The detective work to find my main requires 2 braincells and if anyone wants to wardec a -9 clown who lives in low/null, go for it. Roleplaying weirdos who say 'post with your main' are just big silly gooses.
