Who is Rogue Riderhood?

Who is he really? Where has he come from?
Is he a reincarnated forumer? Someone who changed his name and outwitted the half wit?
What's the story, forum glory?

It's almost certainly the newest version of killsaly/hexenjagd.

I was going to suggest asking Vince.

It's a good Dickens reference, especially considering his penchant of late for changing monikers.

I really wish kosmo would throw some IP logs out there so we could get to the bottom of this.
I tracked down Brian Wallace, but Atomic's email/posted photos/etc literally return nothing in a Catfish-esque internet search. That with regard to his email makes me think he was fake. That with regard to his photos led me to believe he was real. Who knows, man, who knows.

If he was real, then his listed email account was either (a) a throwaway he never checked (no returned read-receipts), or (b) atomic had an account on none of the 50 websites with the highest user bases in America and did not cash out the $$ I sent him thru paypal.
But I still side towards real because of the photo evidence. But man, a lot of info I social engineered out of him ranged from implausible at best to clearly false. Then again, he was a troll.

One day, someone was doing the usual "there is no way atomic is real" thing and he responded "what do you want me to do? post a picture?" We, of course, said yes. He said he would when other people posted photos. Yada and myself did. He then posted a photo of "himself" which he took down after an hour.
If you run that photo through reverse image search engines (such as google), it showed that the photo was found nowhere else on the internet, nor any similar photos. Had this photo showed up on some dude from California's facebook page, it would be a sign that whoever is posting as atomic claiming to be from Baltimore probably was "catfishing." Had it shown up on some account that was consistent with the atomic persona, that would make sense. Also, the photo storage site he saved it on had no other photos for the account and was created moments earlier, which is odd.
Whether atomic is a real person or a fake persona, whoever is behind it has went to some odd lengths to chinese wall off the "atomic" user on here and the email attributed with it from the rest of the internet at large. And that's bizarre either way.

Like the legend of killsally, real people that post here on a daily basis for years at a time don't just disappear for ever unless god forbid they died or there was some threat against them where they realized it was best to never post again.
atomic just didn't quit the board like a walkie meltdown, his author became tired of keeping up the persona.

yes, that is the way I remember it..but couldn't he have just taken a picture of a coworker or a friend or somebody else? or posted a picture of his brother?
In theory, absolutely. It's not the most likely scenario (Occam's razor) but its definitely viable. As I said, all of him being genuinely real as advertised, him being another boardie's made-up character, and him being a non-boardie's completely made-up persona are possible.
I personally think he's real in that he's not another boardie's alter-ego but the actual persona and mythology of Atomic is mostly made up (as evidenced by him being caught in a crap ton of lies).

Why would he be banned?
