- uniqueid 6y agoYes, that's the simplest explanation. Not that Instagram is above giving an existing nobody's account to a VIP, but they're not going to do that without wiping its content, and notifying the nobody first.

- AQMCWHBF 6y agoHey, I knew you on IRC a long time ago. You hooked me up with some SuperVPN proxies that worked for a few years. I left the scene about the same time because of YUI's arrest- I wanted to say thanks. I've been thinking about HTP and co a lot recently, because of my work. Also want to thank you for pwning r000t.
- ryanlol 6y agoWhoa, a blast from the past. I vaguely remember you. Wonder what YUI & co are up to these days
