Discussion Board members selling accounts
Ive been hearing rumors about people selling their long standing message board accounts. Has anyone one heard of this before and what would be the purpose of buying one?

6. I'm still waiting on a bid for mine.
If you got a 50K bid, that opens up great possibilities on setting an opening bid.

3. Oh Man, That's Funny
Pretty obvious they'd be bought by someone who wanted to troll the place. Funny that someone would take it all so seriously they'd pay money for it like a gaming account.

7. Meh
With the really longstanding people here, I'd like to think there'd be at least a few DUers who might notice a change in writing style or attitudes.

21. Freepers are messed up individuals. But if you lived in your mom's basement and fantasised all day
about shooting Arabs you may be too.

12. I've seen them on Craig's List, and Ebay
They don't go for much though. The average fetching price is a tiny violin and a cup of coffee.

18. I am not the Dread Pirate Orsino.
I inherited the title from the last Dread Pirate Orsino a year or two back. The original Orsino has been retired three years, and is living in Antigua.

You see, no one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Ultra.
