I just remembered that I was misremembering...Vetamur was an anthropologist, and Ben was a sociologist (by degree.)

kellyb here, resurrecting a zombie thread like a necromancer!

Yeah the German's UN was "Ariane the Great" and he was an astrophysicist, he told me, and worked on Cassini. He wasa mod for a while.

Vetamur was a sociologist, he said.

Hi, Andrew! You were only 15 years old when we "met" online, and I was in my 20's!

Hi nivek, and Dundee, and 22, and Dingo, if you're still coming around here. :)
Welcome back.

I haven't heard that theory.

Well, gee, that is good.

I invented it from scratch. No sense in pushing other people's conspiracy theories like Sisyphus if you can invent your own.

I was just free thinking (because I am free and I can think) and realized that if I wanted to hide a couple of threads with REALLY damning information, I'd buy the site, then tinker with the URL, have some site drama, then bury it.

Have to dig through the Wayback machine to see how much is accessible. Not sure how the Wayback machine deals with changed site names. Will have to do some research and update my conspiracy theory.

AlienHub.com

Going to have to play with Waybackmachine but not getting a lot of content, which works in favor of the theory.

And the site no longer displays the "Alien Hub is gone forever etc. etc."

His block script may have been part of the scheme.

Anyway I haven't disproved my theory yet.

Its a good theory, you have to wonder though because he bought AlienHub and merged it with Alien-UFOs site that he had or also bought, kept the latter name...Then a few years later sells Alien-UFOs to the previous owner of AlienHub whom he bought AlienHub from then a couple years later Q buys it back, updates the site from vBulletin to Xenforo software and changes the name from Alien-UFOs to AlienHub but then a couple years later shuts it down...

You use too many pronouns.

Perhaps a timeline with using the government inspired masking "Site Owner #1" and "Site Owner #2" (Q) would be helpful.

Do we know who "Site Owner #1" was???

More detail is needed for a good conspiracy theory.

Thinking of writing this up as a drama.

The original owner was a college kid in England with the UN "Xander". He was super cool. We fairly rapidly changed hands several times after he sold the forum before ending up with Q.

Yes, we must gather more details and formulate a fantastic conspiracy theory. A book and movie will follow.

Yeah, that is where I was headed.

If we are going to shop a spec script screen play we need more details. Current plot is "insidious site owners seek to bury truths uncovered by intrepid conspiracy buffs".

If it becomes a series each of our favorite threads could become an episode.

Your version has more hands than Nivek's version and you have named one of the hands.

Nivek's version was a two hand two ball juggling act.

We are making progress.

Q was the owner of BlockScript.

He appeared to be using the site (Alienhub) to refine and promote the product.

It isn't evident who the owner of blockscript (Block.com) is but it is something that could be found out if you searched.

There were technically 2 owners, from what I remember. There was Q, who was the "public face", and then there was "the tech guy" who stayed in the shadows...

Hi, Kelly.

I think I may have actually been a little bit older than that, but we can say that I was only fifteen. We could even say that I was only five then, and twenty-two now.
