Whats up with those users ^ no join date, last visit or activity... Did they create the accounts themselves or did the admin?

I chatted with Elon, and he told he was interested but, he wants to know how many fake accounts, first.

I combined 2 separate forums (HostBoards.com, WebmasterPost.com into one forum & transfered all users from vBulletin to Vanilla forum software.
Recovered the database as much as possible after the hack.

Looking at your link, a fun detail is the "Visits 0" stat.

default

Wait. I have an account there and I have not even posted something, not even a single GIF.

I was going to make an offer of $7, but I believe this guy owes me $7 for taking my username; just like many other companies owe me for using "default" configurations and "default" settings.

I am there too

I never created account on either of those forums.

Op can you explain why some of let account appear in your forum?

You have one too!

Maybe it's just to "ease the transition" from LET to whatever this was called.

henix

I have an account too!
OP can you DM me the email i have there?

CheepCluck

Damn it, why does everyone seem to have an account and im left out?

Heinz

Op can you explain why is @CheepCluck left out?

Plot twist: @jbiloh might plan to make a double of ourselves using some artificial intelligence which could mimic our neuron synapses and thinking, all with the obvious purpose of increasing the profits from existing providers.

I have a snapshot of a forum from 2012, had the same amount of posts within a month.

@CheepCluck said: Everyone, put your LET username on there, and see if you had an honorary account made. 😂

Yep, I'm there too. As others have said, I've never registered on either of those mentioned forums.
So it appears someone might be up to some skullduggery.

EDIT: same username but not me.

Liso

I love how OP went radio silent and stop responding here

I messaged you a screenshot of the profile and email, let me know if it's you.

Several have asked for the profile info, so far none of the emails have matched up so it's a similar name, not you. With 3.7 million users over 18 years, every conceivable username is likely taken.

I suspect some have signed up & forgotten.

Let me know if you want me to private message you the email on file to confirm.

@henix said:

I have sent you that email via private message.

yoursunny

How do you explain "my" account has zero visits and zero threads and zero comments?

Also seems that there was likely never any verification. The posts you lost in that hack probably benefitted the forum as they were likely spam for the most part.

I have an account too and it doesn't match any of my emails

Just be honest here, we all know what the truth is.

You're correct that for several years, there wasn't verification.
