I just wanted to let everyone know that a troll had been coming on here and posting as "benbergman84". It was not Benny who was making those asinine posts.

I think most of them were made by a "benbergman84" troll, posting as a Guest (not a member).

pierinifitness is a registered member and beyond reproach.
Because of this troll, I have disallowed guest posting. To post, people will have to become registered members.

Bruce that is how it is on most forums that I've been on. It's good that You have it so You still can read it even though a person my not be registered or signed in. I would think it would hurt Your business if someone had to register to read the forum.

You're so right. Especially when all someone sees is a big blue page telling you that you have to register to post, without even telling you what the forum is. We have our Forum Nazi, Bruv, to thank for setting things up properly.

Understand why you disabled guest posting, but is the software not smart enough to disallow a guest to use the same name as a registered user?

Well, if a person has to register, then he wouldn't be able use an existing name. I tried registering as chanduthemagician and was told that name already exists.

So was this Ben guy who got upset a lot a troll all along? No, I was never a troll. I did get upset a lot and I blew things out of proportion. Just blew up and didn't think about what was asked of me and couldn't shake how disrespectful I was. I understand some of it was just banter towards me and I defended people I didn't need to defend. I am sorry for all that and I'm moving on from it. I even tried talking to Average and Billifish one on one and it didn't go well and I accept that, can't blame them.
