SOCKGATE

Cant brb email a link to A87 showing Hiag's claim to be him, as he would go ****ing mental

 

He hated you more!
If he actually was HIAG, then wouldn't it make sense to pretend to hate both him and Spurs? That's what I did. Er, I mean would do.

 

Well HIAG does a good job of making it look like he's a Gooner trolling Spurs fans, so maybe he hates Spurs fans ?

Seriously though, HIAG can't even lie properly on his own account, let alone successfully pull it off on another one.

 

Good idea

 

So right now then plan is to reinstate A87 and annoy him, in order to prove HIAG wrong?
Then what? A87 is allowed back on the Arsenal board and there's no repercussions for HIAG?
I know what I'd do in that position if I were HIAG, regardless of whether it was my sock or not.

 

Not quite. As soon as the account is reinstated, HIAG can post from it to prove that it's him. Then the account will be deactivated again.
I'm pretty sure the real A87 is long gone.

 

So if it is someone else, then surely they'll back HIAG up to get back at the person that banned them, won't they?
They gain no advantage by playing along with the plan.

 

As I said, the real A87 is long gone. What will happen is that the account will be activated and HIAG won't be able to access it, because it's not him.

 

But he'll be sent an email for a password change, which will alert him to the fact that his account's back.
You're also assuming that he didn't just create another account and tone it down a bit, which would mean that he's still around.
That's happened plenty of times before, as I'm sure you're aware.

 

I don't think A87 understood the term 'tone it down' to be honest

Besides, HIAG is already making his excuses about not remembering his password for his A87 account, having his laptop wiped, the dog ate the password, he can't be bothered to post from the A87 account etc etc ... He's already backtracking, which is a giveaway.

 

And what if HIAG's right or A87 plays along? What does he gain?

 

Right about what ?

 

That the account was his.

 

Do you honestly believe that ?

 

I didn't see enough of A87's posts to have an opinion on it.

 

To be honest, I actually wouldn't mind A87 back. It was only because he turned every thread into a spat between Arsenal fans that he was eventually banned. I lost count of the amount of last warnings he was given. We tried reasoning with him, we tried offering him another chance on top of another chance, but he was determined to start a fight. But that said, he actually contributed quite a lot to our board when he wasn't having a pissy fit. If you got him on a good day, he was a valuable contributer. His knowledge about Arsenal and European football was really extensive. That reason alone rules out HIAG being him

 

One in one out

Brb bring back A87 and ban Hiag

 

Sounds fair HIAG won't object as they are both his accounts

 

Exactly. Get brb to ban Hiag's account so he can only use A87






And Saintsfan of course

 

This sounds perfectly reasonable. I'm sure @Hoddle Is A God will agree. Both HIAG and A87 are his accounts so I'll ask brb to just keep the A87 one open and ban the others. That way HIAG can prove that he is A87 and still keep an account open
