The hashing seems infinitely healthy to me.
I'm a hasher.
And OUCH.
Ah. To be young again.
Oh, the innocence. And I can register everywhere with my home email address again!
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Still unknown. Strongly suspected in some, irrelevant to others.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So Gus was a sockpuppet? Did I skip too much?
Well, he doesn't exactly fit the definition, does he? A sockpuppet is a second login to a site that pretends to be some other person.

Trust my rage
It'sbeen so long thatI can't remember how this works. Would "kimi" need access to the e-mail she listed in her buffista registration to be able to activate her account with us?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Lots of questions. No answers. You should go back and read if you have a chance.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So Gus was a sockpuppet? Did I skip too much?
Not a sockpuppet so much as a pseud. There is some indication that this was a pseudicide rather than a real death.
There's no evidence that the real person (as indicated by the death notification) actually existed. And Gus' backstory doesn't jibe with what is searchable.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
As far as I've seen, no one has come forward and said they were sending Gus emails, asking where he's been, or that the emails mentioned b.org (so that she'd know they were b.org friends as opposed to other internet friends), and/or that they mention the Bitches thread, so that she'd know to post there, when she got to this big site.
The lurkers informed her in e-mail.

I'm going to get all pedantic and note that it'd be pseuicide. Because, come on, it totally sounds better anyway.

Because books.
Well, someone existed. ETA: Or continues to exist. Someone was posting as Gus, in other words. But the facts of Gus's life, as given by him, aren't verifiable -- notably the PhD stuff and the professor at a university stuff.
My husband is quite real, but Google him and you get nothing. He's just never worked in jobs, or participated in online forums, where he would be found.
