I have my gf and I, and some friends from school (I think 4 or 5) that I signed up from my house when I was trying to get them involved in the forums.. I don't know their passwords or anything though they just signed up from here so technically I only have 1 that I use, haha. They never post sadly though..
LOL I can't believe you made accounts for people... wait... you're AJ- yeah I can!
But yeah, Evol, Roxas and I all share an IP. He used to have accounts for his other Gold accounts, ipoopedem and scoooerwhoooer (I spelled that wrong) but his friend Cody got them banned, lol.
Let me rephrase that, I didn't make them, THEY made them here (my house). I don't have their passwords, they just signed up here. I did however sign my gf up, LOL. So now I can FORCE her to post when she's here .

Yeah I had 2 people sign up here plus I signed up a separate dude but since they never get on anyway I guess it don't matter.

Yea, my friends are the same way, they wanted to sign up to see their ranks, then haven't been on since, I think one might but I've never seen him post and he went to a different college last semester .

I will be using ip addresses to detect repeat accounts, but a shared ip address won't be the only criteria for determining if an account is a duplicate. If the accounts are being used by different individuals, there shouldn't be any problems.

Ahh, thanks for the reply. Yea, all the accounts that were set up here haven't even been used since they were made with an exception to my gf.

I know that 2 got signed up from my home IP. Mine and my bro in law's. His GT and name here are MMM CupCakes. I don't think he has posted though. He may have signed in from his house or his laptop, but he signed up here, because I wouldn't stop bugging him, lol.
Then of course my account, which will register 2 IP's, the one for my house here, and my cell phone.

Mmmm... now I want cupcakes...
It's a long story behind his GT.
Some of us who played COD4 religiously were all Gold Cross 55's and when people would get in our game and see 6 Level 10 55's on the other team, they would quit out.
SO we all made secondary Live accounts, revolving around breakfast items, and our clan tag was TBC (The Breakfast Club)
I was YUM WaFfLeS, we had OHH Pancakes, BagOfDoughnuts, YEAH TOAST, MMM Cupcakes, and Milk n Cookies.
None of us Prestiged those accounts for a loooong time. It was fun times, fun times....
