README: not trying to spam off-topic and i pretty much try to stay away from creating topics to much but i was just really curious about this, so im sorry about the double-topic thing overall.

i have a couple questions about some old posts i found from like 2006 on

first one

have you always been able to do that with quotes? can you still do it?
Answered

second one

name is not clickable and it says guest below, and it isnt a profile picture. did guest users use to be a thing and then get removed?

Guest means the profile was deleted. Which confuses me. Shouldn't that delete posts? What was that one stuffstorm that happened a while back where half the posts on the forum got wiped or something?

Quotes used to pyramid like that. I personally didn't mind them, but it does look cleaner without them.

Deleting the user gives an option to delete their posts. The posts aren't stored as a subset of the user, they're just linked together. When that link goes dead it just doesn't link to a profile or avatar.
