sorry for the incoming wall of words, but this reminds me, i’ve actually talked with mariocrafter on their profile a couple of times, and they seem nice enough.

they said they got banned from scratch during the 1.x days, and didn’t log in for a long time. when they finally did a couple of years ago, they were initially really confused as to why they had so many messages. they said that they aren’t actually the first follower of griffpatch, and there were a bunch of accounts before them that had either unfollowed or deleted their accounts.

when i asked them why they don’t acknowledge the griffpatch thing in their profile bio to combat all the comments, they said that they don’t acknowledge it in their bio because they don’t want to sound vain about it, which is something i respect.
