xtraelv was done nothing significant for the forum before I had my attention to him on this thread. Here are some facts
- Check the topics he created before the event (only one) and the topics he created after the incident(70-1 = 69 so far).
- He had 133 merit from which 100 were air dropped (meaning he was a Member ranked) and 33 merits from another of his mate and Lafu.
- His 2nd oldest topic started with me.

1) There are a number of investigations that I worked on in the background. Being Dyslexic means it takes effort to type and correct mistakes. It is easier to help others and let them to the write up. I worked on some complex investigations that often took many months to research. Some published on BCT and some elsewhere.
2) The Cryptopia forum closed which is where I was very active.
3) Eddie13 mentioned the Hatfield -McCoy rivalry between Cryptopia and BCT. It made me look closer to what this forum had to offer. Before checking out the historical threads I had a low opinion of the forum.
4) The only threads I was active in were the same threads that Lafu was active in. I have never met Lafu in person - although I have chatted with him on discord on a number of occasions. I also have never met Cryptodevil who also gave me merit.

5) Starting topics is not a measure of success. Often a topic already exists and it is better to respond in such a thread.
