I remember reading this thread, but see this:

If another group of motivated people is interested, the possibility to "pass the torch" (so to speak) could be arranged, but it wouldn't be as simple as the first person who volunteered. I simply wouldn't feel comfortable with someone else taking over if I do not feel they can maintain the same standard of quality.

So I think that the old Looking Forward (be it a person or group of people) has indeed passed the torch to a new person or group. The writing style of the new LF is a whole lot different from the old Looking Forward posts. Back in 2008, LF even did a "Look Back" every week, which was really cool.
Someone posts in the chat for Mike and Justin's FRCTop25 webshow as "Looking Forward", which I think is kind of strange. I am convinced he is the real Looking Forward and not an impostor because he announces when the LF predictions have been posted and asked the mods to change the title of one of his threads. Unlike all the Karthik impersonators that show up, he is never kicked out of the chat. What I think is strange is why this person decides to chat as "Looking Forward" instead of a person from a team.
And it looks like a lot of people around here know who LF is, and are not telling!
Edit. After a little searching I know who Car Nack is and have a pretty good idea about who Looking Forward was in 2008.
