Does anyone remember a member with the username that contained "Nivlac"?

O.k., so I'm freaking ancient and don't spend any time here.  I know that I'm listed as a "Newbie" but I joined on Feb 9, 2000 and have 5088 posts.

I still have my 240Z, and I still pay to keep my website active AlteredZ.com

I don't drive it - it's been off the road for some rewiring and to put a Holley HP ECU and Terminator TBI on it.

 

But I watch a lot of youtube.  (I haven't watched TV in 25 years).

There's a channel I watch by a guy named Calvin, and he goes by "NIVLAC57"

Really sharp guy that does a lot of tech.  He just recently started doing YT full time.

 

Anyway, I could have sworn he was a member long ago.  I don't see "Nivlac" anywhere and no member with that name.

 

Am I just ancient and confused?

Hey Pete-

Good to hear from you.  I still enjoy your website after many years.  I don't know how much significance is attached to those member ranks and titles anymore, now that the forum has matured and is well past it's heavy-growth period.

 

You're not crazy...there used to be a user here "nivlaC".  He joined Nov 2011 and last visited Sep 2012.  At some point, he was flagged as a spammer; which is why his profile and posts are no longer visible to forum users.  I don't know why that happened; but maybe some of the other OG members will have more insight.

 

We've been playing with different ideas on how to re-stimulate HBZ, so please feel free to chime in if you've got suggestions.

Cheers!

Looks like around 2010 he was drag racing a Z. If I had to guess just based on how forums (especially this one) used to go, he probably shared some of his videos here and got flagged for that.
