Guests on the forum ?

Hi :)

While reading some old threads, I saw this one. And what is weird is that :

Why is TheHermit marked as a 'guest' ? How did he become one ?

That was the old designation, before the new ones (like yours says Aristotle).

I remember when TheHermit arrived on the forums, and the titles were already set... Are you sure about what you're saying ?

Hmmm, seems as thought they were. No idea tbh, but since it was almost 6 months ago, not very inclined to investigate it either. If it happens now, I will look more carefully.

It could have been a possibility that this user registered before the newer user titles were implemented. As all user groups have to go through a table on the server. Sometimes users can be overlooked and will have to be manually changed (not very often).
Or maybe when he registered the forum put him in the guest group rather than the registered users group. That is often determined by post count like it is now.
vBulletin is cranky sometimes..so maybe it just had a bad day. :p

This can't be true. When he first posted, he had a title like everyone. I even remember that he asked for a sig here. If I remember well, he reached 100 posts pretty quickly, and he almost didn't post in OT. I know a lot about him, he even made a friendship request (if I find the e-mail back I'll post a screenshot).

Hmmm... It may be that, but he wasn't a guest when he used to post ;-)

Sorry for insisting, but I really want to know what happened :)

It is generally how a previously registered user appears after their account has been deleted/removed from the forum.

An admin at the time must have deleted it. Unsure why, wasn't here at the time. It isn't an option offered now.
