No! that's not the reason for my suspicion. Wrong again, as per.

Can we KNOW your reason, Alf? I believe that some suspected that I had joined under an alternative guise when I left last year but I can assure them that I had not.

Not speaking for Alf but to answer this for me;

I get suspicious if someone joins the forum off-season (no current BB season airing) for one, and secondly, if they immediately START their "TiBB Career" in something like SD's or Chat in an overly familiar way.

However in the case of Twosugars, some brief detective work shows that they joined during January CBB, and their initial posts were all in the Celebrity BB January 2018 threads, in support of / criticism of housemates... which (IMO) is a good indication of having stumbled across the forum as a genuine new member and BB viewer / fan .

I mean if someone's first post is "Well you WOULD say that, Tory-loving SCUM!!" then you can be pretty sure they're not new .

shocked at how much hate for Shane and Andrew there is on other threads here.

Just how comfortable Twosugars was with the dynamics of the forum straight away, made me suspicious.

But I don't mind if they were a banned member or not, I just like to wind up, and I know Twosugars bites at the suggestion.
