Not possible - they register with different email addresses, probably giving false details.

How would that work? How would the site know who was who?

You can only register one username per email address

Gmail, yahoo, hotmail are all freely available in quantity♠

I know of one person who has over 30 email accounts with Hotmail.I myself used to have 5 but only ever used my main one so got rid of the others.
A lot of people will have an ISP email account as well as one or more free ones,such as Hotmail or Yahoo.

I wonder if they add little notes to those usernames? Like particular quirks that user assumes to make them more believable? It's quite fascinating really!

Zacsmaster,
NO,it WAS a good idea.
It's just that someone(as always) has already found a way round it.
Don't give up!
