GWTT is his abbreviation for GuyWithTheThings, who just posted on June 26. And is now banned.

Yup. That'd be correct. Do you know why I was banned? I got no notice or notification about it so I changed my email for that account and made a new one. I just thought it was a weird glitch. Sorry if that's against the rules.
 
Welcome!

I just banned it tonight, for being a duplicate active account.
There can be only one.

I know, I did. I was unsure of telling everyone about my age at the time, and I had already put my age as my dad's age on my profile and didn't know how to change it back.

Well that's certainly understandable! I guess that was a good idea deleting your old account like you said, and starting a new one not based on lies!

I guess I can't help but wonder why in all your other threads as GWTT you said you were buying the knives, but in your two Sebenza threads as GWTT you said you nephew bought those.
Maybe it will make sense in the morning!
 
Hoo doggies! I guess we should have pieced it together that you weren't an adult when you posted this!

Have you ever lost enthusiasm in liking knives and gotten back into them? Here's my story.

I was only about 11 years old. I had a Buck Bantam and a Gerber Paraframe. I thought they were awesome, but in reality, they suck, though they're good beaters. Anyways, that was all I had. I got a Kershaw Piston and a Leek, then couldn't afford anything else. I constantly looked at Nutnfancy's channel, and was jealous of all the knives he had. I ended up stopping my browsing altogether as the hobby was just too expensive at the time. A few years later and here I am. I picked up two Kershaw Blurs, a Spyderco PM2, and here's my hobby again. I asked myself," Why did I put this down?"

Let's hear your story.

Story really fell apart there! What a whopper! :)

Zoinks! Well no harm, no foul....I'm sure all the members GWTT bought knives from would have been fine with selling knives to a 13 year old if they had known. :thumbup:
 
Ok so I'm going to summarize and explain everything as best I can, though I can't justify what I did... It was wrong, plain and simple.

I made a Bladeforums account to learn more about my hobby. I did learn more. I don't remember how old I was but my dad helped me make it and he just decided to put his birthday down. I then naturally went along making threads with that birthdate in mind thinking everyone would be able to see I was 44 years old or whatever. Then I started getting careless in my threads and started feeling bad I was pretending to be something/one I wasn't. To top it all off people wanted to donate to me buying a Sebenza! That blew my mind, but I had to say no. I couldn't tell everyone that the donations were going from an uncle to a nephew who didn't exist. So I just stopped posting altogether. Today I really wanted to go back on Bladeforums but I wanted to do it right. I switched the email of my old account and made a new account with my new email. Here we are, and now all the crap I started before is catching up to me, not that I'd expect anything less. I just really want to do things right this time. No lies, no pretending. Just me.

And that's that.
 
So you didn't delete your old account, like you said in the first sentence of your first post back.

You just started a new account.

I didn't delete it myself, no. I read the rules and knew my account would be banned and I figured that would delete the account for me. Dang another one already... I'm not making a good impression whatsoever. I know I asked the mod what banned me, but the thing is, I tried making a post yesterday on my old account telling all about my real age, but it said I didn't have access to that subforum (general knife discussion). I guess that means I was banned and I didn't know it.

No harm done, mate. Honesty is the best policy. We all pretend to be something we aren't . . . .

No, like Esav said, that account just got banned. Along with Ben G...remember him, you friend that you mentioned in your OP and then edited out?
