Someone called me out for claiming that there are still JCM/Karina alts on the ranks. I'm usually not a fan of these witch hunt kind of things but *shrug*, I can at least share what I know.

The main suspect I always remember is Alessandra Moretti Martinelli. One of the first callouts I recall is from Piet,
here, in October 2007.
She never had a forum account so was not directly linked by IP address to the Karina/Rosalinda/JCM/whoever people. She was very hard to keep pace with while trying to rise up the ranks.
I don't have any single piece of evidence that says she was one of them, either, but in just a few minutes of peeking around I came up with a handful of interesting details.
1. Existence: Try searching Google for "Alessandra Moretti Martinelli"....
2. Timing: Alessandra was active from Jan 2007 to Aug 2007, sent around 50 submissions. Rosalinda was active from Dec 2006 to Sep 2007, sent around 35 submissions. Karina was active from Oct 2007 to Jun 2008, sent around 35 submissions.
3. Formatting: There are not many users who submit times with course abbreviations in lowercase. For example, only 61 times for "dkm" have ever been submitted. Here's a list of who made them....
Code:$ grep "ndkm " ./* | grep -o "authorName.\{25\}" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
12 authorName":"Karina Villa","from":"
11 authorName":"Alessandra Moretti Mar
8 authorName":"robc1787","from":"&quo
5 authorName":"richardsonwr","from":"

2 authorName":"René Bauer","from":"=?
2 authorName":"Jeffrey Perez","from":
2 authorName":"David GRARD","from":"&
2 authorName":"Dave Bais","from":"&qu
4. Smileys: It is somewhat rare to use a smiley directly after a word like this:), without a space before. Rough figures, but:
53 times it was used to begin a new line
2090 times :) after :) a :) space
154 times:) it:) was:) used immediately after another:) word
Here are the people that have done it at least 5 times:
Code:$ grep "[a-mo-zA-MO-Z]:[)(]" ./* | grep -o "authorName.\{25\}" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
32 authorName":"mike hartjens","from":
23 authorName":"Scott Dufault","from":
15 authorName":"studentswimmer","from"
8 authorName":"Rosalinda Cancino","fr
8 authorName":"Mendel, Lucas","from":
7 authorName":"Karina Villa","from":"
6 authorName":"Alessandra Moretti Mar
5 authorName":"remy paak","from":"rem
5 authorName":"alvin.vanasselt","from
5. Catfishing(?): Karina definitely used instant messaging to build credibility by talking to males. Alessandra did the same, at least with Andrew Manning (
see here).
As Piet indicated, three girls joined the MKDD site within a few months back then. How many more have joined since?
