Yeah, that's one of the stupider things that hard core durpers (including certain of the Mods like that twit Chance) do.

The Game is Up, let it go.
It was kinda fun to pretend for the first few years of the board when "Cecil" would occasionally show up. People competed to have him show up.

Ed, not getting the concept of "marketing opportunity" responded to the demand for "Cecil" to post, largely retired "Cecil" because "fuck the customers".

For something that would have taken nearly no time to do, he really fucked that opportunity for community and goodwill up.
