Looking Forward's real identiy

[Matthew2c4u]

The think you should understand that a site admin can see his Ip and therefore knows who he is, so its not alltogether unknown

I am willing to bet this person has covered his/her trail with a slew of proxies.

Why would they do that? The people that can see their IP already know who they are anyway because LF had to get approval for an anonymous account.

Not necessarily. They had to get approval from 1 of those people. They did not need to get approval from all of them. For instance, Martus may have approved it. Then, he would be the only one who truly knows who it is. He is not the only one who can see his IP adress. There are many more who can. I think that covering your trail with proxies for such a trivial thing is a waste of effort. However, there may be motive there for those who truly want to keep it a secret.

At first I thought maybe Joe Johnson, but I've noticed an awful lot of 1114 and 217 references...

[Joe Ross]

In this post Looking Forward posted a "normal" post with the anonymous identity.

In that post he/she used a special emoticon >_<, which only one person has used on chiefdelphi. If you can find out who uses that emoticon, you will find the true Looking Forward.

(It isn't who you expect at all, but does explain why Looking Forward likes 1114 so much)

Well, here's a thought -
Looking Forward will be giving the CD community little gems and nuggets of insightful predictions for the Championship '08.

If they continue to want to do this through IRI and other off seasons and then into '09, does it matter that their identity is known?
And has anyone noticed anything about Mr. Copioli of late?

Oh yeah, and if its true, I wouldn't be surprised.

Thought I would let you all know. I am Looking Foward. Nah, not really. But I dont know if who it is really matters. He has been spot on for most picks he has made every week. This, in my opinion, is amazing. But I am sure he has been getting help from people.

LookingForward was spotted at Palmetto regional on Saturday. While no one knows who it is, they had his/her presents announced by pit admin.
They announced BillFred's arrival 20min before LookingForward's...coincidence?

awwwww cmon, the pit admin shouldn't give hints. Makes this whole LF thing more fun..... I wouldn't say.

I say it's Karthik or that he's involved. He has alot of knowledge about many teams and has been around for a while. He always has stories to tell about teams. Looking Forward has alot to say about things and sometimes uses math. Karthik seems like a math guy, and has close to photo graphic memory. He also mentioned that he is expecting to see "changes to 148's robot making them an even bigger threat," in his week 5 predictions. How would he know? Steve W did mention that him and Paul Copioli talked 5 times a week. both of them have connections with team 148. 254 didn't have swerve. Cory repeatedly posted pictures of swerve parts. i believe the parts were from team 148 so i expect Cory to be involved in some way.

Also, since the 1114 teaser got alot of people fooled about things, it could prove something. That Cory, Paul, and Karthik are back for more teasing!

Sorry to disappoint, Zuhaib, but it's not me. As I said earlier in this thread, I've sent LF some tips but that's all.

I sincerely doubt that Billfred is LookingForward (assuming LF is a single person)--though I don't doubt for a second that Billfred knows his stuff. LF's presence at Palmetto does indeed seem suspicious when considering that no major teams from New England were present at Palmetto this year. I imagine they're affiliated and such--but I don't think they're the same person.
I don't consider myself a Billfred expert by any means--but that's just my take on it.
