Don't be absurd. You may be an ass, but you'd never misuse an article.
Just shows how good I is when I puts me mind to it.

No.. only if they have AN in there are they a AN alt. You will also sometimes see a BE in there, for the BE alts. :)

I find it pretty easy to spot alts in my group...but its tougher to figure out WHO the alt might be.

Hi Everyone,Is there anyway to tell if someone is using a alt ? Or Is there anyway to find out.Thank You

Anakin,

you can check the altAPI database for confirmed alts

http://www.altapi.com

although if it's being used for naughty purposes the alt most likely hasn't been added to the database.

What if you look inside their left ear and you can see their right ear?

In my case, just wait for me to make a faux-pas mispost (saying something one av but accidentally typing it in the other av's window). Curses, foiled again! By myself!

Lear Cale: Gee, that Lear sure is a hunk!
Barbie Funbits: Oops, I meant to say that. A blond moment, I guess.

I tried a dozen names, including my own alts... No results for any of them. (^_^)y

Wait . . . there are NINE alts in the database?!?!?

LOL!!

Proof positive that all of this concern about alts is unfounded, I guess. :D

New product idea: Altlines. (^_^)

With the Altlines HUD your avatar instantly becomes an alt and you can use it to inject alt nanobots in unsuspecting newbs with a really spiffy animation. Your newb victim will then become an alt according to the alt database and will have buy anti-alt orbs to get their main status back or buy the HUD and roam the grid hunting for more non-alt newbs. (^_^)

Where's your opt-in database now? (^_^)y

It seems that the purpose of that site to allow you to prove to others that an avatar is your alt (most likely, for business purposes). There are easier ways that are just as reliable (like, telling a secret). But, some may find it useful.
