I'd like to start a new fresh account.

[Anatoly03]

So I've been on pro boards before and with my old account I've visited many forums (and with many I mean many) and I'd like to start fresh. Sadly, I've lost the email the account was connected to, too. I've created this account because I want to start everything completely from scratch, two questions concerning this: Can the old account be removed (as the terms of service don't allow to have many accounts on one ip), I've also had a pro boards support account there, may it also be removed? Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Anatoly

If you don't have access to your old email address and cannot verify your identity, I don't foresee you being able to have removed anything associated to that email address.

It's fine that you created a new account with a new email address.  It's fine to have more than one account on one IP address. What Proboards doesn't allow is sharing your account with another person.

To clarify, as long as you're not masquerading as a different person with those accounts, it's fine. For example, using another account to make it look like someone is agreeing with you about a debatable topic, or using another account to keep your General Talk post active, or making another account in order to evade being banned.

what about in the case of another forum such as an rpg where the admin allows multiple characters per person? Is that ok and up to the admin of the rpg?

Yes, that is fine.

I think it would be better to use this plugin there. It allows to use different "profiles" without having to login. But on topic;

Thank you for your responses!

You actually have a choice for that as well, as there is a set of Alters plugins that, I believe, is along the same lines as the NPC Profiles plugin.

Please keep in mind that plugins currently do not function on the mobile version of the software.
