My guess is that there was a username zelaron, created logn ago. I think a while ago, wetwired deleted all inactive accounts as well. Soooo maybe your logevity is really that of the person who created the original zelaron account, back in 2001.
This is like watching somebody spraying a retard with a firehose. He falls down, gargling screams through the water, coughing, choking. He tries to get back up and the force of the water knocks him flat again, and again and again. He's totally confused, has no idea what's going on or why he's all wet and can't stand up, so he's screaming things like "stp banning me plz!!11!", only because he has Down's syndrome it all comes out in vowels, so it sounds more like "uh hanning ee eez!!11!"
I didn't want real people with real accounts with the word zelaron in them, so I removed all traces of wig from the account, then proceded to create several other place holder accounts to prevent names from being registered. I have it set up to not allow any name with zelaron in it now, so I just deleted them all. As for the longevity thing, oops, I forgot it was 2002, not 2001; it just seems that long .
