Default OcBen Erased ?

Like him or loathe him, it appears he has been stricken from the forum, without a trace of him left behind.
Not a single post of his remains.
This is one strange group running the show.

He's been banned. Did I miss something?

Maybe we slipped into a parallel universe,...one in which Ben posted on Ferrari forums instead. If that's the case, I want to know what the other Coochas is doing.

I'll have to e-mail to find out what happened. There are certain members we need on this forum and he is one of them.

It's a sign of the NEW AMERIKA. Hold onto your hats. It's going to be a hell of a ride.

I found out today that some of his posts that I had bookmarked are no longer valid. I wonder what happened to them and now I am reading this post.

Weird!

Are you sure he didn't just change his user name? If you bookmarked a post though, the HTML should just have a number, not his user name.

Surely someone quoted him in a reply somewhere. Are those posts still around?

The bookmarks were direct links, not under his nick. I just did an Advanced Search for OCBen and no posts were found.

Let's wait and hear what the moderators say. Perhaps it was a mistake.

Yup.

Here is a short thread where he obviously posted, and his reply is quoted, but his post has vanished.

https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...-to-ocben.html

He must be in a FEMA camp somewhere, and Winston Smith has been charged with erasing any evidence of his existence (which he obviously did not do a very good job of doing).

I did a search for ocben. The search results listed a thread where ocben was the last person to post, but his post was gone.

His home page https://rennlist.com/forums/members/30408-ocben.html lists him as banned.

Winston really should do a better job, but I guess you can't erase people in a day, it takes time.

Isn't he OCBen or OC Ben? Something like that?
