Is there a way to search profiles to see who signed up as a registered member on a specific date?

(Bonus points if you can figure out why I’m asking. :D)

Sign-up for a date list? Shouldn’t this be in MPSIMS? 😉

My guess is you’re either looking for trolls or looking for someone and only know when they stopped posting on another name.

A little bit from column A, and a little bit from column B. 😉

Perhaps wondering if The Urge took up another identity after leaving? And as far as I can tell, there’s no way to do that.

Err, 'sprix, light of my life, didja try clicking the profile link of one of the mystery boy’s posts? Fr’instance, it tells me you registered 1-14-2000.

Or do you not have a suspect yet, and are just preparing?

I conjecture: Esprix thinks **Asmodean** is The Urge/Ogre Fade.

I know: That is untrue. because I remember seeing Asmodean before Ogre Fade.

I remain mum on my reasons for now. 😉 But for the record, I know **Asmodean** and **The Fading OgreUrge** are not the same person (although they do have similar traits).

And yes, **Yue** , I have clicked on people’s profiles to see their registration date, but I’d rather look by date rather than by name. For my purposes, it would be easier.

Alas, it does seem that this isn’t possible with this software. Alas.

Oh, and **Yue** , when did I become the light of your life? And when do I get to cash in on the benefits? 😉

I thought afterward you might be trying to chase down a old friend if you weren’t sure what the new incarnation was called.

As for light of my life…

well, actually, I am a disturbingly heterosexual teenager, and you’re the light of nothing to me. But I’m obeying my general rule of sucking up to peopel before saying condescending things or making obvious corrections.

Anyway, sorry I was useless. 😉
