<human>: About six years ago, I was a member of a forum that I had invested a lot of time in and gotten a great deal of enjoyment out of. However, I had lost my temper and browbeat a new member, and was subsequently kicked out. Time passed, and I forgot about my involvement, but recently, I wanted to rejoin. I searched for similar forums, but the ones I found had almost no members. Only the one I was thrown out of is active.

I have a new computer and IP address, so they won't recognize my device when I rejoin. However, I don't know how to approach the situation. I could rejoin and admit who I am, apologizing for what I had done, but if it doesn't work, I'll be prevented from possibly rejoining again. I could lie about who I am, but that would be dishonest, and if I was discovered, I would be ejected yet again. What's the best course of action?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Six years ago, I was thrown out of a forum for shouting down a new member. I now want back in. Should I be honest about my identity or try to lie to get back in? Or some other solution?*
