About an hour ago, in either IMHO or in MPSIMS, there was a thread started by **Atomic Badger Curling** , (or, possibly, **Atomic Badger _Hurling_** , saying he was a newbie who wanted advice on the particulars of the board. I believe he/she had one post at the time I replied to the thread. I posted the basic newbie fodder, post in the proper forum, if you’re going to be bawl out another doper, take it to the pit, do a search before you post, etc., etc, then I signed off for a while. When I logged back on, I was surprised to see that the thread had dropped off the main page of MPSIMS or IMHO, whatever it was in. I checked in my user control pannel for suscribed threads and did a search–but it seems that the thread’s vanished. Was **ABC** impersonating **Atomic Badger Racing**? (I did know of **ABR** before hand, and just figured, hey, maybe they’re friends, or dating, and the atmoic badger thing was their inside joke, whatever, and I wrote it off as nothing), and did that cause the thread to be pulled from the boards? Did he turn into a jerk later in the thread? Or is the board just randomly injesting newbie posts? [Most of all, I’d just like to be assured that his post actually _did_ exist, cos if not, I’m hallucinating (again)]. Thanks a lot! ---

Just to clarify, according to searches, neither **Atomic Badger Curling** nor **Atomic Badger Hurling** were listed as having any posts, ever. I checked both names, neither had any hits. ---
