A sneakier one, this: it's got a profile picture and a sig.
Seeing quite a few like that lately.

Thanks guys, for the tagging.

And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Yeah, that's why I highlighted the fireflies. It's actually conceivable for someone to have an interest in fireflies. Pretty ridiculous unless you're doing research on them, but conceivable. Why anyone would want to flag that interest on a bb dedicated to a spacethemed game is another matter...

I couldn't disagree more. There's no way a Firefly-geek would have would have pluralized the name like that. That's an instant credibility-disintegrating offense right there.

Here's one we missed earlier:

Jeson1192: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=3260

The username is currently banned on at least one other forum, and I've found a bunch of identical posts on other forums where it's pumping a freelance job site.

Nice catch! Personally, I've so far resisted the temptation to investigate the pre-hack accounts.

I was thinking in terms of the class of ship, rather than the name of the show. Although even then it should be capitalised and makes less sense than just naming the show, you're right...
