Haha, I was thinking about joining the action on the leaderboard on stars so I decided to register an account and when I did, it said that my username was already in use so I was like "hmmm... let's try this then..." Sure, that name was free BUT my email was already in use so at first I was like "wtf is that supposed to mean!?" And just as I was gonna write a message to stars and ask them who had stolen my email, I remembered... "Wait a second... I'm already on Stars!!"
It's been years since I logged on there so I had actually forgotten that I had an account on there xD

That happens to me all the time and not just with poker sites. I've now got into the habit of searching within my email for sites I'm about to sign up to.

lol yup.
OP: I did the exact same thing with stars, I thought I was signing up in '09, turns out I had an account from 04 or something lol, never actually played it though, that was way before I ever started playing online poker, no idea at all how I ended up with an account.

Ive had the same situation a couple of times. And that from sites (not poker related) which i had signed in the early years of my internet experience, in other words when the internet started kicking here in Greece. We were trying to see everything and sign everywhere lol.

Hahaha, didi t passed that long since the last time you enter Stars that you couldn’t even remember anymore that you already had ann account there? That was really long time man! And, btw, if you were already using another email, you would probably only realize it further in the registration process. Think about nowadays 19ers, living in parents home and playing for fun. In ten or 15 years they can found themselves using other emails, living in na other address and pass through something looked like what you just experienced.

I think, and I say think because I'm not sure at all, that I created my account there just a few days after I turned 18 and decided that I didn't like the design and just logged off and deleted the software Now that I know better, I can see why people like stars, but for me, PartyPoker is still the way to go But I'm gonna keep playing the leaderboard on stars and we'll see if I might be able to get a nice bankroll going

unfortunately no, I didn't have any money on my account :/
I'll be playing as many of the leaderboard freerolls as I can, but I'm afraid there might not be to many of those, I've got a lot to do IRL atm :/ Some sh*t just turned up that I need to deal with...
