All of his YouTube videos are now gone, including a Bunker 1 0:17.

It wouldn't surprise me if this Brad Moore always was a troll account. What does the rest of you think? Legit or not?

I don't disagree.  You'll notice in the "best new player" poll I wrote his name in quotations, because I always thought he was extremely sketchy.  The question though becomes, "who has the resources and desire to make this fake player?"  It'd have to be a top player capable of caking B1 17, of which there are not many.  I don't think it were any of the "True GE Speedrushers" which encompass Ace, Luke, Lockwood, Mirror, Karl, Clemens, myself (aka all the rels.)  We chat every day and likely would have spilled the beans to the group at some point.  So who else are even candidates for this?  Marc maybe?  Trolling with some new capture quality?

The other possibility is that it IS indeed a legit, new player, who spent 1000 hours already on GE, got a WR, and then got angry at wasting his time and became depressed like Taka, deleting his videos.  I don't discount this possibility either.

Bunker 1 Agent 0:17 really excited about this as this is my first world record which you can see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P67Foe_E7oc

I'm suspicious just from how the red in this post is phrased.   Weirdest part is that my first thought for a fit timeline wise on the site/boards was Adam Moore.  (adam disappeared in jan after just getting ntsc, brad starts up in feb)

Tone/sentence wise after that he reminds me a bit of myself but it's obviously not me...   His short simple sentences though for every post and only posting pr stuff while ignoring everything else is a little odd but this site is full of people that are a little odd so...

It's definitely possible what I said is just a bizarre coincidence (esp given I have no evidence) and we'll never know why he disappeared or who he actually was (real or fake).

Bunker 1 00A 1:15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2T8dCqZktI
Run was terrible could've easily been 1:08 or lower

Yeah agreed.  This is clearly not a "normal" person getting their first few PRs.

The rest of his posts are here; http://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=2582

The email he has associated with this forum user is: metal_head_for_life@hotmail.com  A pretty obvious fake.

Just ban the fool.

sigh, my eyes aren't sharp anymore since I managed to gloss over that.  That post of 1:15 could've been sub 1:08 (and then never plays it again to get a lower time) = some major wtf

Where is he from based on his IP address?
Title: Re: Brad Moore

Sydney, Australia.

None of the IPs he's used to log into the forums are associated with any other forum account.

You guys are all silly... I guess Adam stopped playing and Brad got his stuff and started playing himself.

Who knows, maybe their cousins Chad and David Moore start PR'ing too, possibly along with their sisters Erika and Flavia (so we culd get sum gurl action her in teh formus too hur hur hur me thirsty)

I remember his original WR post or video comment was "took 2 hours but should've gotten it much earlier".

Yeah, sounds about right for a new player :-X

ban him, no need for this

we should institute a rule where if the proof moderator makes all attempts to contact you about your runs and you don't respond within 1 month, you can be banned

I agree with this.

I know there's this all trust part on the elite, but cmon, I think sometimes you just gotta check if the guy is real or not...

He's banned. If he reappears wondering why he should see this topic titled with his name.
