Iceland\_Blue has been banned, because he was a reincarnation of a previously banned poster. In fact, three or four previously banned posters. A number of threads that he recently started have been disappeared. This is standard procedure for banned folk who try to sneak back in. ---

I believe he was outed by somebody who saw posts using one of his email addresses to an extremely illicit site. There were links to the site in the thread, so it probably got erased, too… ---

His photobucket account was under the name of a previously banned poster. ---

**Good\_Egg** , he may have signed up for different screen names at different times – maybe overlapping and maybe not. Wouldn’t be the first time that somebody previously banned tried to start a new account under a new name. And I think the likely clue was the one **Guinastasia** mentioned. He started a thread with some personal photo links. And another poster pointed out that his photobucket username was identical to that of a previously banned poster. IB tried passing it off as coincidence, but his explanation didn’t sound too convincing. ---

Yeah, that’s the train wreck of a thread I was just trying to check back in on when I saw this one. The pic thread seems to have disappeared over the weekend, as per the OP. Note to self: Start Doping over the weekends…you’re missing too much! :eek: ---

It’s a salutary warning to all those banned: you **will** get caught. How he managed to get away with attending a Dopefest, I do not know. ---
