In the past, there have been some enlightening and entertaining discussions about how hobbyists choose their handle.

Want to review under a different alias than they post under, so they can present two different people.  This hobby is all about the experience. .. the providers complain about guys lying, guys complain about providers lying (except when they say shit like how big your dick is, how many orgasms you gave them, they love older/more hairy/pick your particular affliction men, etc.... then they are telling the truth lol).  Everyone just wants to feel good.  So they have one that they praise the providers in reviews and the other where they spout off and no one knows who they are.

“Yanking someone’s chain” lol! Don’t see how it yanks anyone’s chain.
Anyway, do you have any serious thoughtful answer to this? Like ValdostaKid’s ...

...ever posting on the boards. My handle was one I used on another board. I probably posted twice maybe three times with that handle. I didn't write reviews once I actually started seeing providers. When I wanted to write my first review I asked TER about changing my handle because I didn't want those that knew my handle from the other board to make the connection. Using an alias to write reviews wasn't allowed back then. TER instructed me to submit to them three handles I would want to use. They then chose one of my choices and made it my new handle.

If you're asking about someone specific I might be able to help or maybe even the person(s) you're talking about might help.

I think he is asking what would motivate someone from changing his or her board persona.  Why would one post and review for a period of time as say hobbyistnipples then start posting as sdimpledong at a later time.  

Thanks for the clarification... couldn’t say it any better myself.
Answers can be speculative like the ones you laid out ... or, conclusive/ factual like xyz’s answer.
Another example speculations can be:
1. Could it be that he or she is a donut and changing handle to stay engaged when other members of the board start to be suspicious?
2. Could it be that he or she is on someones’ dns list and trying to trick the list?

I would say both of the reasons you gave are good ones - definitely LE is the leading cause in my opinion.

Sorry ... I didn’t mean it that way ... I wrote to you in a light hearted manner.
Frankly, I, for one, find most of your posts to be of high standards and thoughtful ... in that regard measuring up to your own high standard is the challenge!  
I wish my OP was more clear.

Off topic a bit ...
Was XYZ123 taken? Or, does 23 has a different significance ... jus curious ...

Thanks for the kind words, didn't mean to sound offended

This was a few years back when I was still married and somehow I got outed and my ex started asking me about that handle. It was incredibly unique and not a common word.    If you Google my old handle the first hit that came up was my reviews here. I changed it to something that if you Google I would not show up at the top of the list.

While trying to come up with the three possible handles to submit to TER I tried to think of something that was easy to say. I also wanted something with a rhythm and rhyme to it. I didn't want the usual which would have been the "xyz123". I thought xyz23 (xyztwenty-three) rolled off the tongue well and had a rhyme and rhythm that "xyz123" just didn't have. Oddly enough xyz23 was my 3rd choice though now I think it was the best of the three.

Found it not boring at all! Thank you  ...

+1 Ms. Taylor. I know that feeling all to well.

They can and TER allows it.

Is it because their current handle is Valdosta Kid?

Lol..... someone on an anonymous handle making fun of someone else's handle

...they did it just because. Without reason. Maybe even just to see something different.  

Possibly most pressing reason is this one ...

You’re probably right Ava
