Given the limited history and information i have, I have decided to examine this user Uruzrune sua sponte and make a tentative judgment. If I have made an error in my thinking, I'm sure someone will correct me.
First, this user is a confirmed user. This board, unlike places like Wikipedia, does not support automatic creation of accounts on a user's request, a sysop has to approve raising an applicant to registered.
This user was approved yesterday.
Since Jonsey has run off RetroRomper, I do not believe he would subsequently allow him back on under a new name. At least he has claimed to have revoked (or suspended) Retro's membership. Or taken it "down for retooling."
New users here are very rare, I think Billy Mays is the only one over about the last five years.
Applicants requesting admittance would get somewhat more heightened scrutiny due to their extreme rarity. "This is not Caltrops" where they'll let any
Cretinous Reprobate walk in off the street. Or Wikipedia, but even they put restrictions on accounts less than 3 days old, and fewer restrictions after the account has 100 edits.
With the exception of Orc's Head Tavern unregistered users cannot even see the "Above the Line" (non-technical) forums messages here, let alone read them. Using a Firefox "porn mode" (private browsing) window, I have confirmed that only Orc's head and the technical (Below the Line) "JC Games" forums are visible to a non-logged-in user.
This person made a direct observation about Pinback that could only be made by someone having intimate knowledge of the messages and culture here. Such knowledge could not be obtained except by having the capability to read all the Above the Line forums here.
Jonsey knows who this person is, and would have to in order to raise their status to approved.
Therefore, I have come to the following tentative conclusions as to the probable identity of our (allegedly) new user Dross, or Bull Head, or Water, or whichever translation of the rune "Ur" that (presumably) he is using.
Probabilities of the identity of user Uruzrune:
90% Ice Cream Jonsey
5% Billy Mays (being immediately familiar with the meaning of the name)
3.5% Some other user or former user of Jolt Country except RetroRomper
1% An actual new user
0.5% RetroRomper
Nice try, Jonsey. Next time you want to fake a new user, first announce to encourage new users you're opening up all forums for reading by non-logged-in users, and second, that you're allowing autoconfirmation by e-mail response. Would have been more plausible. Which reminds me, I need to change something on TVTropes.
