Quick question about this

[Luigi_Fan]

Why does the profile with the id 1 does not exist? Usually the person with id 1 is the creator of the board, so... Why is it nuked?

 

[freakworld]

my guess is that it was a deleted test account

 

[Superchao]

my theory is that it was someone from SMF who created and made the board, gave porple all power, and then removed their own account

 

[Luigi_Fan]

"Theory?" Why, does porple not want to give out any answers? :P

The problem I have with your theory is that SMF is actually quite easy to install imo - No would would need any help, or would have to get someone to install a board for them. And instead of nuking the account when they had no intention of staying(At least I'm assuming they didn't), why not just log out forever? Heck, if they really wanted to go far enough, they could've edited the mysql database so that porple would have id 1, effectively leaving zero trace of this mystery person.

The forum originally ran on phpBB, which uses ID 1 for anonymous users and starts accounts at 2.

Ah, that makes sense actually. Thanks for the answer!

No no, he actually meant Anonymous

The mystery has finally been solved!
