I choose to believe him also despite the odds and the basic irrelevance, just because it seems like it would be fun to try to figure out.
A couple questions though after a quick history-skim :
Why did you mention
here that you had just forgotten the login due to being away for a long time? Didn't feel like explaining it again?
You seem to use a fair amount of British/Australianisms in your posts- just an affectation?
Explanatory posts for the confused:
Here,
here, and
here (also, I desire skull-bit pics, because that sounds neat. My own surgeries have left me sadly souvenir-less).
A few useful posts:

Other online hangouts? I used to do Adult Swim message boards, I did several tech boards, becuase I was studying programming (Dream In Code was a big one I used a lot apparently). I know I read EN and ES. I don't really know what else I read at that time.
As for hobbies, programming, lol. I did used to surf a lot.
I'm located on the East Coast, on the border of North and South Carolina, right near Wilmington Beach.

Well, I've tried to look back through some of the previously chatty on our boards. The biggest problem I had to deal with was that the date given by carrots as when he suffered his trauma (18 Jun. 2004) was just about one month prior to the Exodus over the Grey bannination. As a result there were a number of posters who stopped writing in this forum on or about the time stated so for every one listed here I had to make sure a corresponding one wasn't created with Mibber's group. Now I haven't been able to go all the way up to the specified date but I think I got the majority of potential users. If someone wants to independently verify, then please by all means.
So...here we go:

Wraith? (Questionable) Last normal post - 18 Jan 2004. Had three posts in Aug & Sept. '04 that mostly only said "I'm back" but nothing since. Erring on side of caution since info given of date of incident

Easy Rhino has been active on the
PWOT boards since then as I recall, so he's out. I'll probably do further Interweb sleuthing tonight at work when I have time to kill. Unless finalcarrots admits to shenanigans before then, but it honestly seems pretty elaborately constructed for a pointless hoax just to hide being one of the exiles, or something.
(I mean, sure,
I would go into that level of detail, but I'm crazier than most people that way.)
