There's already a thread about him at Grognards, but I think it's more fitting to be here than there.

True, should have put it here.

Anyway, it seems that Snail was hacked big-time, so it seems like a malicious attack.

Well, according to what he said on IRC, it seems his school account (whose credentials are similar to his HLP account) got deleted as well, with his school having a history of lax IT security.

Oh for ****'s sake, it would seem several membergroups allowed deletion of one's own account. This kind of oversight shouldn't happen, dammit.

Snail, when you've dealt with your security issues, contact me on irc.

Does anyone remember Snail's old userid, by chance?  Like mine is 561?

If anyone sees Snail on IRC or elsewhere, tell him to register a new account, and then either Fury or I can change the userid and re-associate all his old posts.

In that case the Admins should give Snail a new custom title: Resident Spambot :P
