I've seen a few of his posts in old threads and just figured that at some point back then, there must have been the ability for people to post as a guest without signing up or being logged in to the forum... for a short period of time, apparently. Who knows.

Maybe the older members here know something about it.

Maybe he was vaporized.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is. I have a very vague recollection of a discussion about this exact topic several years ago and I think that turned out to be the answer.

Pastor of Muppets is a pretty old account. I don't know the inner workings of what is going on with his account but I believe he goes back 2 owners. My guess would be that in the shuffle, accounts that had not be active were disabled but not banned. That or he requested it to be disabled with a previous administration and thats how they did it.

In my time I've seen that these boards can operate in a thousand ways for one function. Given my general life experience, this is probably because its software made by a really small company. If anyone is familiar with CCC, thats a good example.

If you could, at one time, sign up to be a quest, Pastor certainly wasn't one of them. He was a very strong poster, had a high post count and the whole 9 yards. I don't recall a time when you could be a guest here, and my guess is if that was the case with Pastors account, you'd see other signs of that with other posters. His is a unique situation I'd guess comes from previous owned trying to achieve his request by using funky workarounds.

i'd prefer Pasta of Muppets, srsly

Pastor of Muppets asked the admin to delete his account back when the board was privately owned when the admin bothered to show up once in a while & actually do something on the boards.

If anybody reading this wants the same done to their account don't bother asking, they won't do it.

Gregb bothered showing up?

Anyways thanks for the explanation, had been curious about that for a while.

Gregb huh? I guess he's sorta like god. He can smite you at will, but for some reason no one has ever seen him, though there are tales...

well he doesn't come here anymore.
