The curious case of the forum's three millionth user

[suchmoon]

A troll account created by someone who should know better. Pretending to be a newbie when they're clearly not. No big loss here, I hope it stays dormant forever.

You are deeply mistaken, because judging by my humble history of messages, I hardly look like a troll. Moreover, in the context of your caustic response, you are more like a troll than I am, but I understand your feelings, and as before, you will continue to remain on my real list of trust.

It's not about fee-fees, it's about the inherent dishonesty of sockpuppeting the way you do it ("I'm new at this" LOL).

I think everyone will agree that only a mentally retarded person might think that an account with such an identifier and with such a username belongs to a newbie

But apparently only a mentally stable genius would pretend to be a newbie with such an account.

B- for the idea to register this account, solid F for the ostentatiously cringy execution.

Now, if you can answer these questions, then I can agree with your opinion.

1. Is there a chance Theymos saw the contents of thread 3? Internal settings of the forum.
2. Sirius or did Satoshi remove this thread? I ask because I see Theymos's account was registered two months after the forum was created.
3. I would like to know if there is a way to see which of the users posted messages in thread number 3?

1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).

I previously answered your questions, and the answers are unlikely to have changed in the preceding 9 months.

I think most likely, thread 2 had content that is similar to thread 3, and satoshi was testing the functionality regarding deleting threads (and possibly posts). He may have made one or more modifications to SMF after deleting the thread.

I am not sure as to where any of threads 1, 2, or 4 were located, or which users were able to view that sub at the time were.

If there were restrictive permissions on thread 3, it is unlikely that anyone except satoshi ever saw that thread. If thread 3 was ever public, it is possible that google or another search engine indexed it, however I think that is very unlikely because satoshi made the first public post over two and a half days later.

I can say with a high degree of confidence that there were no replies to thread 3, and anyone looking closely will agree with this statement. This assumes that anything having to do with thread3 was done prior to satoshi's first post.

Anyway, I think it is most likely that you are a very old forum member. My guess is you have been involved in the forum for the greater part of a decade, if not longer.

Holy Molly, I resurrected Three Millionth User! That was yet another unexpected turn of things, as I (and probably others too) believed there are few chances to see the respective user among us again.

After all, I think it was a good idea to create this topic:

- a mystery was solved -- thank you, theymos, for clarifying that
- Three Millionth User is active again -- or, at least, for a while
- everybody found out for sure that he was not an ordinary newbie
- maybe some found more answers to possible questions they had
- I vouch for Loyce's four hundred fifty nine thousand, eight hundred thirty sixth user and, if I may, also for the one million two hundred eighty-five thousand seven hundred ninety-seventh user as well 

Well, all being cleared out, I think I can lock this topic now (I will do it in 24h from now on). Thank you all for expressing your opinions here.

It makes sense: I like - as FatFork puts it - the name trophy account. My initial assumption was it's just someone's alt-account, and it makes sense said "someone" is still around.

As for who's alt it is:

That would make it an alt of one of the 189 users who have suchmoon on their Trust list. Or is it? It could also just be misinformation, to throw us off track, like this:

I'm not Italian, I just added a list of prominent representatives of the Italian community to my trust list to give you that impression.

Russian accent would make it a dead giveaway but it's not difficult to fake nor can you trust anything the newbie sockpuppet says so I'm not gonna go there.
