    Take a look here at the posts by "geest".

    1. I presume "geest" is a mispelling of guest

    2. Why is it like this?

    Fitness obviously allows anonymous posting (a lá Personal Issues)..

    .. didn't realise it did! :confused:

    EDIT: Oh wait.. I see what you mean. Clicking on 'cheesedudes' previous posts links says he's 'geest'. How odd?!

    Presumably that forum allows unregged posters, and when you post unregged you can choose a username for yourself. That poster obviously chose Geest.

    I don't think it does. Those posts were made by the account cheesedude but are showing up as guest. Looks like his account was deleted.

    Its the same in the pro evo forum and you cant go unreged in there.

    Is that what happens when accounts get deleted?

    It happened before with that fingers guy. DeV meant to ban him but accidentally deleted the account. Same could have happened here.

    He must have requested his posts be removed or/and was banned. I don't recall anything regarding him wrt bannings etc.

    I seem to recall he made his death throes in feedback... letme check :)

    edit: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055274843&highlight=cheesedude

    Oh yeah, that was the Marksie thing. He didnt do himself any favors that time. If he wasnt site banned then, it was certainly the beginning of the end for Cheesedude.

    His account was still active about a month ago.

    They did a pretty crap job of removing his posts if that was the case :p

    He hardly got sitebanned for that Pi incident?

    Ah ok, nevermind, I thought it was something from further back. But he did request a lot of posts be removed.
