I have made the changes that you suggested. Does this mean that the thread can be put back in the community section?
Categorisation is more a matter of what the thread is about - this does seem to be a Chess.com Community thing, so I've moved it back there.

So you had @bb_gum234 active while your @llama03 was active? Isn’t that illegal???
Oh, last online 2020.
Yeah, that account is really weird. Someone found out it was mine, and asked the mods/staff to open it, then asked me for the password so they could use it (I'm not making this up).
So first thing I did was try to log in to that account... and I couldn't. I guess when they reopen an account they send a new pass to your email? (actually IIRC I logged in once, but then I couldn't do it again, maybe having 1 IP on two accounts triggered something?) I honestly have no idea. But that account was definitely not open from 2015 to 2020.
Oh, and now that I remember that story, bb_gum must not have been the one closed for abuse when I said something bad to a mod. Oh wait, and now I remember what I said... actually it was really funny. You can private message me if you want... I not only insulted them but used the green text and everything (and they'd already warned me)... insta ban lol.
But yeah, that was years ago.

That was probably just a typo and I don't appreciate that you are deliberately trying to create some kind of conspiracy theory out of it. That's not cool.
I have the right to post whatever i choose in my own topics. Whether you "appreciate" it or not doesnt concern me. I personally do not believe for a second that it was a typo.
I agree with you

Please do not combine the point total for accounts either: you have no way of veriyfing anyone's claims that they are actually the same person as a closed account, and really, if someone's going to close their account and open a new one, that indicates a willingness to sacrifice that continuity of identity.
David, moderator
I mean, it's true, anyone could search up a bunch of random accounts.
You'll notice I've played the icelandic gambit forever though, so that would be a commonality between them all. Also there should be basically no overlap, one account often being opening soon after the other.
It's fine to not include me in the list... honestly I'm happy that someone thought to add them up in the first place. I really have been here a long time.

I personally see no reason that you shouldn't be on the list, but I don't really want to disobey @david or the topic might be moved to "off topic" again. I have added you in the description below the list though.

Overall I'm happy about it, because like I said, someone thought to add it all up, so I feel included.
And @david is a nice guy, I have no problem with him personally or the logic he used in this instance.
But yeah, I noticed you included me in a note at the bottom, thanks

I am continuing to discover new members with more points, so I apologise to the people who are being pushed down the list.

How did you find most of these people to begin with?
Took me a REALLY long time.
- @Elroch, @Itude, @RonaldJosephCote, @Blackfirestorm, @HorribleTomato and @DrSpudnik I already knew had many points
- There was an already great list compiled here. But it was made in 2012, so only a few accounts were still relevant.
- One of the best ways is to go to the most active clubs on the site and look at the super admins/ admins of the club. Every now and then you come across someone with tons of points
- Another good way is to go to the profiles of big members like @blackfirestorm and @AlCzervik. They tend to attract the sites biggest members. I found many of the accounts on the list by looking at the point count of all the people who have left notes on their profiles.
And as @oka pointed out: crawling through old threads
How about @empr14?
