This thread blew up a lot more than I ever expected tbh. How big was he in the community? It seems like he did a lot of things already and has been here for years too.
Your is not the only account, there have been several others over the past 5-6 months. You know far too much about this forum considering your "ineedhelpplease" account was created in October 2023. Having said that, whenever you want you ask questions in an attempt to demonstrate you are a newbie you do and when you decide to post in-depth you do. How many accounts do you have here?
Has anyone sent a message informing him of this thread or asking him to defend himself?
I'm pretty sure he's seen the red tag on his account, which links to this topic.
My conclusion one way or another: Ratimov is gone.
I did not check post history or posting styles (and most of his posts are in Russian language) since the account-selling allegations but from what others are stating it seems the account might have changed hands.
