I think Carla was always going to leave at some point! He could only lie-low for so long! <laugh> Actually, from the limited contact I've had with him on twitter, he seems generally alright and if he wanted to come back as himself I wouldn't have an issue. It was a bizarre way of going about things though!

Bighairywinger has been trying to entice him back via twitter! <ok>
 
To clarify, mods can see the IP address that a user posts from. After Wonky left in January, about 10 days later "Carla" joined, from the same IP address. A little investigating showed there was little to suggest that Carla was related to Wonky, and was most likely the same person. Seeing as "he" wasn't causing any problems we let it lie for a bit, until TonyMunkyCanary outed Carla himself, without even knowing the IP addresses. At that point "Carla" disappeared for a bit, and as far as we're aware hasn't reappeared since.

<laugh> wait a minute! carla was wonky?

why did he change name?
 
Had no idea TBH,

Great though, Carla ahey! ha!

I go through phases where I do not contribute that much as I am busy so missed it.

Wonky left in a huff at the end of January, making a thread asking for his account to be deleted. I might be reading too much into it, but it seemed to coincide with me being "promoted" (and at the moment I use that term very loosely!) to a moderator, I think he was unhappy he didn't get a chance through a democratic process. I don't think his health is always brilliant either, so I think that was a factor too. He came back shortly after with a new account, under the name "CarlaCanary", and to begin with it was hilarious watching him go OTT trying to convince everyone he was female.
 
From a comment you made to me a couple of months ago you also seemed to be in contact with Redruth. If so could you please try and encourage him to come back.

It was only through PM I'm afraid, I have no other means of contacting him!

I was hoping my threat earlier on this thread may have persuaded him! ;)

#19 if you'd like to check! <ok>

To be honest it might have been February, it was around the end of the transfer window. I think he may have signalled he was going to leave, then went when the window shut. And I'm really not sure if congratulations is the right response! <laugh> "Fool!" might be closer to the mark!
