Identity of the TF/AF revealed

I've been petitioning the wrong fairies for the title "Profligator"?

For the longest time I had been convinced that Belmundo was the title prankster.
However, then it occurred to me that Pekka could easily do a temporary delegation of the authority over the profiling function in V-bulletin. Second, I have been watching very closely moderators' sense of humour, literacy level and style.
Finally, it hit me..........there is only one amongst them with sufficient sardonic bone in his body to fit into the MO....yes, that's him awlright....

PackIce !!!

Man, I bet you were the kid that went around and told the kids on the playground that Santa didn't exsist.

Of course you were horribly wrong then because Santa does indeed exsist... and I have a feeling you are horribly wrong now too.
This however is just based on my own personal study of the TF's habits. Not conclusive at all.

Yes, and when PackIce was on vacation or something, then I am sure Skipper was doin it !

Revealing the identity of the TF/AF would kind of spoil the fun wouldn't it. Then people would start PMing him/her with requests and things wouldn't be random anymore.

Do you look at your gifts before Christmas?

It is dangerous ground, as I learned when I got too smart as a youngster. Once I revealed the supposed identities of the Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny, and good ol Sandy Claws, they stopped visiting me. It might be the same with TF- if you reveal, then no more fun.

Bad Brad, bad, bad!

You gotta love the mistyque, because it is the only way to counter act the harshness of life.

We keep attacking the TF because it refuses to yield into our own requests, when in reality the TF goes around making funny titles -when he/she does not have to, really- and so we end up turning a great thing into something bad.

Bugging the TF or unveiling it to the world does not change anything.

I remember how we just asked the TF to give you your title, you were so happy to get your Eagle badge. And the TF kindly agreed, making it the only time I EVER KNOW OF where someone gets the title they want.

I think that is a much better way to think, than to actually try and put down a non-existant conspiracy.

Bad Brad, bad, bad!

But... Belmondo and Tommy said the very same thing that Brad just "revealed" a year ago!

Just to further complicate matters...admin rights can be assigned to anyone...without them even being listed as such. Oh my....could you be smote by someone totally out of the blue??? Heads up Brad....you are growing closer and closer to finding ouch! (or is that out?)

I really need to go to the vBulletin web site and request one of those 24-hour demo sites to play with for a day, just so I can see what exactly is available in that admin control panel!

Mods and admins. What prattle!!! I am the TF, the AF, the tooth fairy and Sandy Claws all rolled into one. Yup.. Its me. Been me all along.

Herring on a slice of rye bread with butter. Ahh!!! Latvian sushi. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.
