On January 17th, 2021, the forum faced the registration of its three millionth user. The account name was (and still is)
Three Millionth User. It was very interesting to observe that s/he had also a Custom Title: "Yes, really". The Custom Title
raised questions about this user being created by an admin or not, but nobody found out for sure how that Custom Title appeared.
It was also interesting to observe this user's activity in the short amount of time while s/he was present on the forum (at the moment of speaking s/he is offline since June 5th, 2021). The one behind the account tried to act cool in
the first topic, then got involved in popular forum areas, such as
WO, CM
topic, Merit Cycling
Club etc. I felt like the one behind the account tried to get as much exposure as possible.
What was also curious was that the user created a Custom Trust
list, kept it for 6 weeks, then
wiped out everybody from the list. For next 10 consecutive week, this user did not have a Custom Trust list anymore, but s/he
generated a new one afterwards, which is kept up to present day. The user never distrusted anybody and was never trusted nor distrusted by any other user.
What was clear though was that the respective user was not a brand new one, seeing to know many of the old forum users and also the areas with best exposure for the new created account.
While I am not questioning anything about this user's actions of the forum (where s/he posted, the trust inclusions / exclusions, they way s/he acted like knowing everybody around etc.), I could not stop wondering what happened and why s/he suddenly disappeared. I don't want to think about something bad which could happen, due to Covid. And if nothing like that happened, then what was the purpose of this user? Why acting like being so happy to be around here, then suddenly to vanish? Why get in touch in so many popular forum areas then simply leave (forever)...? It is hard for me to understand.
I think it was an exotic presence on the forum and... I really wonder if s/he will ever come back.
