Man, I never even noticed any of this until tonight. Was reading the previous Hive where Desert Hare was posting and only after I found out it was an Alt of Rev did I sort of notice that it very well could have been him. To think that so many other posters were him... I'd wondered why some of these people who occasionally popped in never stayed long [some of them only like 2 posts and disappeared, but when they post like 30 times or something, I was surprised to see them disappear] but I never connected them to being Rev.
Although the attention-getting thing is the one thing I'm not surprised about. I remember when there was the thread about most common/favorite EnWorld people, he wasn't mentioned and he seemed totally upset about that. He complained and it was pointed out that it was likely due to his name change, but that didn't mollify him. But I never would have thought that the attention thing would become so obsessive for him...
What I HATE is that we seemed to know him so well, but now, we must wonder how much, if anything, was actually truth... Ug.
Although I do remember the Del thing. People were PISSED at that. I knew then that faking anything like this wouldn't be good, though of course I wouldn't bring in quite as big a crowd as someone as well known as Rev. Probably just the people in the Hive. *shrug*
Gah! Dog Moon. Stop. Thinking. About. It.
