Let me tell you. As long as the admins opinion of

socks

is going to be a negative one (pun not intended), There's no harm in doing so. (SPOILERS!)

A few days before "Team_Ender has fallen", I PMed Jay to ask about sock puppet accounts and banning rules

, had I gotten permission, I would have made a sock puppet account named Project_MSB (with an underscore, but you might not be able to tell that with this black background), using a proxy to make it less obvious where I was typing from. The MSB is "supposed" to stand for Managing Source Building, and the sock would have presented itself as an alternative to Github. Some of you would think I was a spambot, while others might have guessed at my true identity because MSB can also stand for Magic School Bus. Eventually I would have said that I was responsible for most of the hacking attempts on originaltrilogy.com and demanded that you move your site to my (nonexistent) database. If that didn't get my sock banned, I would have revealed my true identity and call myself the leader of Species 8472. I would have assumed that this whole thread would have died shortly afterward, but not before revealing that I never really hacked the site.

I might have made a comment under the lines of "Did that make you uncomfortable? Now you know who the Team_Ender business made me feel"

Had I been given the go ahead for my plan to start, how would you have reacted?
