    Potentially, they died from unforseen circumstances.

    I'd forgotten all about Q. Posters don't die, they just fade away. Except, apparently, Q, who seems to have been killed off.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Q is off causing mayhem on the internet, restoring order, and then causing mayhem again. It's what he does.

    What, you mean like turning up with a swagger and finishing every sentence with "mon capitain" while amusing himself by carrying out cheap pranks?

    No.

    Never heard of him.. Weird though, the way prolific posters just disappear.

    His sig used to be "Regardo Ricardo" but then it swapped it in for the rather lame "Regards Ricardo".

    I am really confused. Are you guys joking?

    Q was like The Stig for admins; an occasional "skin" we could wear for doing various mundane housekeeping. He came about because Cloud needed an account to post some RSS feeds from a variety of sources in one of his more Cloudesque capers and he didnt want to use his on account details (for security or something, cant recall), so he created another account with admin privileges and I guess he thought the name was funny. He's odd that way, our cloudie :p
    Personally I would have thought he would have gone for Zoltar knowing him, but Q was a good second choice.

    Q was effectively a sock puppet for the admins and we made that pretty clear I thought!

    really... weird, I guess that was explained before you arrived. His tagline is "Boards.ie's Bot" but I suppose that could be considered a joke or something.

    "He" hasn't been used in ages afaik...

    He doesn't seem to be a nice person DeV.

    Don't think I would have liked him.

    Maybe it's better he is gone:P

    I thought that was...was it Sput's Lover or something? (Sput being an admin's quadruped).

    Cloud Warrior was another early one I thought.

    I banned netwhizkid for at least 2 years I think. Whatever the highest sentence below permanent was (just out of curiousity as to whether he might possibly develop a personality in the meantime).

    Q though is a very different sort of person. Some say that the outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Nürburgring. And if you give him a really important job, he'll skive off and play croquet. Some say if he were to appear on Love Island he would make everyone pregnant, including the cameramen. Some say he was found in a strange glowing pod recovered from a crater on Exmoor and that he can turn milk to cheese just by glaring at it. Some say his sweat can be used to clean precious metals. Some say his skin has the texture of dolphins. Some say if you tune your radio to 88.4 you can actually hear his thoughts. Some say he does not see like humans do, instead he sees numbers in green scrolling down. Some say he forages for wolves at night. Some say he once punched a horse to the ground. Some say he has no understanding of clouds. Some say his earwax tastes like Turkish Delight. Some say he is confused by stairs. Some say there's an airport in Russia named after him. Some say his breath smells of magnesium. Some say he can catch fish with his tongue. Some say his tears are adhesive. Some say if set alight, he'd burn for a thousand days. Some say he is scared of ducks.
