Well your last helping of humour was drier than Oscar Wilde.
However I do not discourage people for trying.

It is possible that Umaro once went under another name at some point. Or he was too busy building the site to register so he prolonged the creation of the Umaro account for some time.
I thought that would have been obvious.
And as for my other line. It is a quote. Something I generally do a lot of around here. Again, I thought that would have been obvious.

Sorry, this is getting off topic, but what the blazes- Umaro wasn't the first account?
No he wasn't. Or so it would seem.
Cyks guy- he's a moderator or something, isn't he? I see his name on the forum listing, but I've never actually seen him on...
He is a riddle wrapped in an enigma.

He is one of the oldest members here. number 45 I believe.
I am number 844 I think.

And the Cain character has already been discussed. He's more like a Cain-impersonator lol.
Nautrally, as anyone who has been here as long as I have if not longer, would know Deckard Cain (the real one, the one who first used that name/avatar here) is off having wild and wacky adventurers somewhere. Or possibly working some dead end job. I missed Deckard Cain, that guy was a legend around here.

And by all means, feel free to grace us all with the pleasure of reading your works.
Such a bubbling cauldron of talent this place is. Though I am digressing slightly off topic.
I eagerly await further installments of this comic, however small they are.

Though it does prove one point, or help further one. There needs to be some sort of characteristic or quirk or defining quality that when you see the character you can automatically say that is Elfen Lied, or Requiem or that guy, you know the one, that guy you know that always does that thing he does.

I think even I missed that one. Probably due to a lack of something that screams Siaynoq.
Unless I missed it, and I may well have done so, perhaps it would have been best if say the broach of his cloak was the image that was his avatar. You know the fish head with the parasite thingy in it's mouth.

The User Deckard Cain also had well Deckard Cain as an avatar. And he had it first. Years before Lost Raven.

How's that supposed to make sense of the seven years vs twenty years?...
As the initial lyrics speak of, When logic and all proportion have fallen sloppy dead. Don't let a little thing like logic and common sense get in the way of good story.
This comic's creator is a fan of the Alice series, a series famous for it's character's or even in some cases it's story's inability to make sense. As comics often drawn inspiration from other sources, including the Alice series, I do not see why it has to make sense. Even the Diablo series contradicts itself.
Anyway, if you have to use human years, I would use Sanctuary as a base, after all, the comic is about the forum, but Deeha'Blothri is in Sanctuary, right?
It's hard to explain, but the short answer is yes.
One way of looking at it is The Spongbob effect. Yet another example of nonsense. Spongebob Squarepants takes place under water, yet in almost every episode their is a contradiction or thing that cannot possibly happen, such a filling up a glass with water from a tap, lighting a camp fire, taking a bath. It is under water yet not under water. So to like that this comic is in Sanctuary yet not in Sanctuary, as it also parodies the forums.

The whole timeline thing is confusing though, because its been seven years since LoD, but for Sanctuary its been twenty years. I chose to go with the seven. I dunno, I might have to end up fast forwarding time..
It's a comic. Since when do comics have to make sense.
When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead, And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head, Remember what the dormouse said.

That was rather my point. Luckmann is one that definitely stands out for me. I have seen much from Asphorune, and impressed with much of it. I would not be surprised if either, if not both made appearances, even if only at a cameo level. Not necessarily a heavily recurring role.

If said person who joined after the announcement is able to make a name for themselves and distinguish themselves from the host of others who joined at the same time, I do not see why not.

Not sure if that was intentional, but it is not uncommon for characters to age in comics. The prime example is John Constantine.
