​How would we know who gave us a thumbs up or thumbs down?

​Consider it done. Thank you.

​ Every day has been an amnesty day. We have always had it set up that if you have a duplicate account all you have to do is message us and I will suspend the duplicate account and your primary account will not be affected at all. The person will not be suspended at all and the matter will be considered closed.

​ Wow! It is very nice seeing you again. Now don't be a stranger.

Yeah I was trying to get rid of it but it got no interest so I put it away. It really is a nice book if you are a Tiger fan or not.

The 70's???? I lived through the 70's and I didn't like it.

​I saw it. Not bad. Add one thing to it. Put my e-mail address in instead of the one that is there. I'm here all the time and while it does say it takes 24 hours to verify I never let it go that long.

​I see. There's never been a perk associated with having one. It is just something that is always been done. Where are the registration rules now after the site has been upgraded?

​No, no. I get it and I think this is a good thing for new and current users alike. Maybe what we can do is adjust the wording in the signup process to include saying that under no circumstances is anyone to make another account for any reason and if they have had an account here before and can't remember the screen name or password used to send a message via facebook or e-mail to me so I can quickly assist them. I have reset many passwords for people in the past. In other words don't take it upon themselves to do make a second one.

​ I agree. What the hell did I just watch? I've never seen this before and I love the 80's.

​I check my yankee4life@mvpmods.com plenty of times a day just in case something does come up like this. ​Sure, something like a post on facebook will help. But another thing when new users sign up. It has to be understood by them that if they have an account here and they make another one they will be banned. They must agree to this. So again why make one when you can send an e-mail or now use Facebook? And there is no reason why you have to get in right that second. If you are looking for a mod it's going to be here waiting for you. ​I agree with you 100%

​ Because it's the rules. I'll tell you what. Give me a good reason why we should look the other way when someone makes two or three accounts? I've been here since 2004. One account is all I ever needed. The way I see it the only guy who is justified in having more than one account here is Trues. And he does because he sometimes has to log in as a regular user to see how the changes on the website look. And that is it. No one else has any need or excuse for a second one. Duplicate accounts cause problems in the forums. How do you know who has one and what it is? We've had people with two accounts act like two different people out there. One guy would be your buddy out there and the other account would give you a hard time. You want a guy out there raving about your mods and then the same guy with another account tearing them apart and looking for any flaw he could find to make you look bad? That's happened before. No one needs that.  

​ Maybe I am not explaining it properly and if so I apologize. Duplicate accounts are a problem on this forum and always will be. It's just part of life. But all these phony accounts are not driving me nuts. Please understand that.  I'm confused as to how this thread turned into the explanation of duplicate accounts. Let me use you as an example. You've been here quite a long time. Since 2008. You don't have a duplicate account. No one, not me or anyone has ever accused you of having one. You've been here all this time with just one. I don't see why everyone can't be like you. All you guys here don't have to worry about this part of the website. It's just something to deal with. I don't like looking at it with that term "ban hammer." I think it gives the wrong impression and I'm not comfortable with that. The truth is it makes me happier approving new accounts 100% more than having to ban one.   

​ I'll tell you what if you bought it on Amazon you did pay a lot. I really hope you can get this fixed because this game is worth it. Good luck now.

​ Oh my God this guy isn't kidding. Look at this on Amazon...

1. This Hamed person just joined up today KC and after what he did today was his last day too. There was no way for me to know if this guy was a spam or not. You don't know it until they do something like this. I can only go with the information that I have and all I had besides his screen name and provided e-mail address was his IP. Some place called Cote d'Ivoire. Can't ban people coming from wherever that is right off the bat. They actually have to do something to get banned. He did and he's gone. I can only go with what I have. 2 Trues got rid of the download restrictions on October 16, 2014 and guess what? Not a day has gone by since that someone out there thought it was a good idea to create two accounts in one day or make another account on top of the one they already have.

​Ok, that's right now. But there will be. The console one will do you no good. Obviously you want the PC one. Mvp 04 can be had cheaper than 05 and there are mods for that too but 05 is the one you want because no mods for 04 have been made in years.

Joe Page Joe Page came up to the Yankees in 1944, in the middle of WWII. He started in 16 games and relieved in three more. He went 5-7, 4.56, ERA+ 77. Despite that, he was an All-Star, for after the games of June 4th (two days before D-Day), he was 5-1, 2.07. From June 5th through July 30th, Page was 0-6, 9.82. Ugh. He didn’t pitch in the majors again that season after July 30th. In 1945, Page suffered a shoulder injury. He started nine games, relieved in eleven more, and was 6-3, 2.82, ERA+ 123 in 102 IP. Page had one of the great relief seasons ever in 1947. He went 14-8, 2.48, ERA+ 142, starting two games but relieving in 54 more. He led the majors in games finished (44), the AL in saves (an unrecognized and unofficial stat back then) with 17, was an All-Star, and finished 4th in the MVP voting. His 14 wins in relief was a record until Luis Arroyo (see the Classic Yankees piece on Arroyo) broke it in 1961. Even in this year, he was on the verge of being shipped out. Bucky Harris, now the Yankees manager, brought Page into a game at a point where Page was basically down to the last straw. One more failure and that straw would break the camel’s back and Page would be sent down or traded. Page proceeded to walk the bases full. He was thisclose to being shipped out and probably for good. He ran the count to 3-0 on Rudy York, a good power hitter, then came back to strike out York, then Hall of Fame second baseman Bobby Doerr, and then got the next hitter on a pop-up. (David Halberstam’s Summer of ’49—great reading). Page had saved his career…for now. In the World Series, Page was 1-1, ERA 4.15. That doesn’t sound like much, but Page entered in the sixth inning of Game One and got the save. He entered in the sixth inning of Game 3 and got a ND. He came into the game in the 5th inning of Game 6 (the game of Gionfriddo’s catch off DiMaggio) and didn’t have it and took the loss, but he came back the next day and pitched the last five innings in relief, giving up no runs and only one hit in that Game Seven, thus delivering the title to the Bombers. Although Page led the AL in games pitched (55) and games finished (38) in 1948, he had a bad year, going just 7-8, 4.26, 16 saves, ERA+ 96. He was an All-Star, but his carousing wasn’t helping. The Yanks finished third that season, just 2 ½ games out, and some thought Page’s lifestyle cost them a pennant. Page’s 1949 season helped the Yanks to another WS title. He was 13-8, 2.59, ERA+ 156. He wasn’t named to the All-Star team, but finished 3rd in the MVP voting behind Ted Williams and Phil Rizzuto. His 27 saves, unrecognized and unofficial, broke a record. It would “stand” until Luis Arroyo’s record 29 for the Yanks in 1961. (The save didn’t become an official statistic until 1969.) Page also led the majors in games pitched and games finished. With two games to go in the 1949 season, the Red Sox had a one-game lead over the Yankees with the last two games at Yankee Stadium. In the penultimate game of the season, the Yanks were down to the Red Sox when Page came out of the bullpen with one out in the third inning. He saved the Yankees season by pitching 6 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, giving up just one hit while the Yanks rebounded from a 4-0 deficit to win 5-4 on an eighth-inning HR by Johnny Lindell. Now tied going into the last game, the Yanks would then win the pennant 5-3 the following day.  In the World Series, Page won Game 3, entering the game in the fourth inning. The series was even at a game apiece, and the score was tied at one apiece. The Dodgers had the bases loaded and one out. Page got out of the inning, inducing a popup and a groundout. He held the Dodgers scoreless into the ninth.   Page’s career came crashing to an end after that 1949 season. The workload, both on and OFF the field, caught up to him. In 1950, he pitched in only 37 games after having pitched in 56, 55 and 60 from 1947-1949. He went 3-7 with 13 saves, but with an ERA of 5.04, ERA+ 86. He only pitched in three games in September, and didn’t pitch in the World Series. In his two World Series, Page was 2-1, 3.27, with two saves.  

​How about giving this one a shot?

​ That is a question that none of us has ever been able to answer all these years. I'll give you a bit of background on this site. When we started up we didn't have those download limits. People then were still making 2, 3 or 4 accounts. Then the 2 download limit began. The duplicates increased because of that. That's the only part we understood. Someone wanted to get more downloads per day. Well, that's gone now and every day and I mean every day because I see it someone makes a second account. Doesn't matter if they made their first one back around Christmastime. They'll make another one. Or they made one an hour before. They'll do it again. There's no reason to because a brand new user on his first day can download as much as he wants or just as much as a user who has been here for years. Consider that. How he affects the site is (1) it's against the rules and (2) the guy is taking up server space by maybe logging in here on two different computers with his two accounts just so he can download things faster. There's really not a lot of rules here and the ones that are in place are so easy to follow most of you guys don't even think about it.

​I am serious. I look at every single account that comes in every single day including the day last week when the article came out and we had over 75 signups. Every one of those got looked at too. It's not hard to do at all and I don't mind it at all.

​Trues doesn't need it. He has me. I look at every account manually.

I don't know what the hell this is going to be about but I like the title of the thread. Good luck now.

​ No KC, that's not it at all. The duplicate account policy has been in place almost since this site has been up and running. The only thing that has changed with it is the length and penalty of the ban when someone gets caught. Yes, duplicate accounts increased when Trues put that two download limit a day rule in place. But that is gone now and people are still doing it. I see it every day. You don't forget your password when you create four accounts in a span of 17 minutes like I saw someone do last week. You do not forget your password when you make an account a few weeks ago and then make another one. When there is a mistake by someone who makes a duplicate account they send me an e-mail explaining what the heck happened. But when they know they got caught doing it they never send out any correspondences. And there is already an amnesty/clean slate program for existing members. We have had it for years. Read this thread right here. I mention it many times in there. All they have to do is message us and let us know they have a duplicate account and we take care of it and nothing happens. To this day no one has sent me a PM about this.

​I sent him an e-mail that same night and he never responded to me. I'll post it right here if that's ok.
