Actual Conspiracy: "Animal" the phantom admin, who is it?!?!?

ACTUAL CONSPIRACY MAYBE - NOT PLAYING THIS TIME

Backstory: I created the soy thread as a shot at Mizzou and Zou but posted it on the Rant. I RA'd it to have it moved and figured Lew would get to it when he usually comes on in the morning.

I checked 30 minutes ago and the thread had already been moved, but Lew had not come online. I immediately checked the Members online list and see an "animal" online:



but when you click on the name the page is inaccessible!!!



URL for page is https://www.secrant.com/users/prof.aspx?u=161062

When you create an account on the family of sites a url is created for your user page and assigned a number based on when you joined. 161062 corresponds with December 21st, 2017 judging by friendlylimo - 161060 and Backntheday - 161068

Next I went to search the overall member list. NO ANIMAL FOUND:



I then did a google deep/dark web site search and could find no traces of this user.

So here's what we know.

- "Animal" is an admin
- The account is roughly six months old
- The account is secret
- The entity comes online at odd times meaning they either work nights or live somehwere other than the US, perhaps Europe or even China.
- SO FAR they appear to be benevolent

We also know that most admins are either early adopters (like 2003/2004) or Lew somehow...but this account is brand new.

Admins also don't hide their accounts, even Chicken's is view-able.

Who is Animal and what do they want?

Why hide their existence?

Does the date they were created, December 21st, THE WINTER SOLSTICE, carry any significance?

What does the appearance of Animal mean for this site?

I swear on all things I hold dear I'm not messing and didn't inspect element this stuff to BS you. It's real.
