But basically, some member that no one knows decided for themselves that they were going to be Looking Forward, a title obviously somewhat held in regard here. And we're all supposed to just go along with that? How do we know there's not anyone better for the job who just decided it wasn't okay to imitate someone?
To new LF: I'm sorry I've been a bit harsh with a bold move. Bold moves are a good thing. Please, change your name or use your normal account though if you want to make predictions, in honor of the real LF.

It seems the Name issue is really bigger than his predictions. And I really can't argue with what you're saying. Yeah, taking Looking Forward's name is probably wrong. I guess what I was trying to get at was, I know we all liked LF's predictions a heck of a lot, but since it looks like he/she is taking a hiatus, we do need something to fill the void. I am sure his anonymous nature was part of his appeal, so isn't there a way for us to help create this new one?
Man, wouldn't this be a great time for the real LF to stand up and give us some of his wise knowledge?
