I’ve read it now. If Umkay has really been a hoax from the start then that is really sad.  
Can we verify that the person from that other board is the same person? Perhaps our mods could get the IP from their mods or something?

Actually, on second thought, I hope they can not. Handing out members’ IP adresses would be a pretty bad practice, even if it in this particular case would only be used for IDing a possible troll.

Based on the information that has been posted about **umkay** over the last few days, I’m closing this thread.
