I miss ppauper. I think about him strangely often. Thankfully he's out because I suspect I was a bit into him.
I have several theories of why he disappeared (competing with the fatal accident in New Zealand).
1. He dumped us for the NRA forum.
2. He finally found the love of his life and focused on the family life.
3. He simply got disappointed that Trump doesn't get sufficient support in the forum community.
4. "Someone" threatened him that they would expose his identity and settled on ppauper leaving the forum.
5. ??
ppauper got to know the forum in the classic period of the black market. He'd run anything if people wanted it enough and had the money to pay. Of course a situation like that does tempt amateurs.
