I regret to say in public sunshine that unforeseen pressures in the shadows leave me no option but to leave the forum permanently.
Farewell cranky cat. I'm sure you'll find life outside of this cesspool far more pleasing.
Since this is the Flag reference thread, I'll respond here: I've opposed the Flag.
I don't worry about future scams: the chance of the account getting compromised didn't increase. The risk could even be less than it was for instance a year ago, especially if theymos bans it as Lauda requested.
The flag seems to be factually correct. If you deal with the "Lauda" account that means the account has been compromised and there is high risk to be scammed. Guests should definitely avoid dealing with a compromised account.
