Iāve never used an anon account
If I wanted to impersonate someone like @ricky9900 I would use the name 5 foot Zero
Or Mini-Unabomber
Or Chubby little Terrorist

Can confirm that when we disabled the anon accounts, they also got deleted along with their comments. I was playing around with brute forcing the accounts and posts back onto the forum but it seems that is over my head and/or the database doesnāt like it. It would be easier to just copy all the posts from anon accounts from my backup just before the setting change and post them for download, or host a low resource read only copy of that backup so users can see / archive the posts.

I found RICKY9000. Looks like I deleted the account for spam and threats.
Hereās the staff action history log including posts. If it wasnāt a brand new account and spamming other threads Iād probably have handled it differently.

Can you tell us if his IP address matches any known users who are on here?
Of course it does. I already alluded to me knowing who it is.

I think the only anon acct I donāt know is @TheFeds and Iām not sure itās an anon acct. if it is. That person probably has the highest lvl anon acct here
