CEO rules. Does not want unnecessary attention drawn to the corp.

I'm sure there a plenty of others that post for anonymity, high profile people Sewell.

ITT: people who reply to the title instead of the post.

Reasons to alt-post:

1. Protecting the pretense: you want to expound on matters outside your experience without being called on it. People can say "post with your main", or mock the contribution of an NPC corp member, but you imagine that people reckon you could know what you're talking about. This might feel good even though it lacks all the advantages of main-posting.

2. Being two-faced: you want to **** on your allies or your alliance without having them dislike the 'real you' for it.

3. Breaking rules: you want to **** on your enemies even after your leadership has told you to shut up, specifically or generally.

4. It's not paranoia when they really are that vindictive: you're a member of a small industrial corp, you have a POS and newbies out mining, you want to **** on the leadership of vast space empires without having their death squads very plausibly sent your way.

I like the way some are frustrated by the fact it's an alt posting, rage and tears collection: OP success

Doesn't look like a webcache to me.

For a full explanation as to why I don't post with my main, please send me your RL name and address, and I'd be happy to turn up in person and tell you.

Heh... you love Facebook and Twitter, dontcha? Admit it, you're one of those people that FB hours a day,aren't ya? (Don't bother answering, I doubt I'll get an honest answer).

Me, I post with this alt because I KNOW it annoys those of the "poast with yer main!" camp; these are pretty much the same people who insist you play THEIR game, not your own. Who insist you use THEIR fit, rather than use your own imagination. Who insist you calculate your costs according to THEIR rules, rather than what it actually costs. (Cue the "mined minerals are free" flame-war)

Relevant, informative, and ACCURATE posts here are what matters, and not the name or age of the toon doing the posting. Silly boy... ;-)

A few of us were having a pretty trolly arguement about the war with Star Fraction. Someone was claiming the war went mutual at some point, but none of us could find a mutual declaration. So instead of doing any real work, would you like to clear that up for us Jade? I'm pretty sure that you didn't declare mutual.

Cutter is right, Its pretty rude to dump this in this thread.

I just thought of something when reading this.

Alt posting on these forums is like AFK cloaking. Even though you're not really doing anything or sacrficing anything or putting yourself at any risk at all, you're still upsetting people!

It's amazing really.

What a thread to make a first eve-o forums post.

To answer your question, i can see myself posting with an alt if i wanted to buy something atrociously costly in the Buy/Sell/Trade parts of the forum. I'm not particularly fond of practicing conspicuous consumption.
