Hello 2004, I am from 2035

On the 18th (a few days ago) I had a visitor at the #TimeTravelTheory on DALnet. That visitor was called RomanTT. A minute later (so my logs tell me - it may have been sooner) RomanTT joins TimeTravellersInn. Within a minute RomanTT leaves without a word. RomanTT was using an AOL hostmask.
Why do I mention this? First of all the 18th was the day Roman registered on this message board. Time Traveller Roman here and the nick RomanTT need no explanation for an obvious connection. AOL always triggers an alert, because it has been abused many times. Most noteworthy by Edge25. Edge often tries to see if he is still banned or not by visiting these channels.
This time he used a slightly different hostmask, so that is how he was able to enter these channels. Maybe confused or maybe he didn't want to stay he left after finding out.
Why do I think RomanTT is Edge25? If you are unfamiliar with this time then it is strange to say the least that he finds these two channels in notime. Also, Jovial_Kitten already noted that she was surprised someone found this board that soon after its introduction. If one is a TTer you can argue that this board is known in the future and therefore you found it. Same goes for the IRC channels. Obviously I don't have that opinion. Therefore I think it is someone from the community. He knew where to find us.
I think it is Edge25's way of payback time.
My initial post on the forum is the most clear. In terms of proof that is absolutely nothing other than typical Edge25 behaviour. If it turns out that his IP traces back to an AOL account then it confirms that. Again it won't be any proof. He may use another account at work or at school and his AOL account at home.
Edge25 was from the UK and Roman too. I didn't mention this before.
When woke up, I had another thought. The time RomanTT visited IRC may be very important: 06/18/2004 at 23:07 (GMT+1). The first post of Roman on your forum was at 17:08 (GMT+1) of the same day. Which could mean that an imposter was visiting IRC after seeing Roman posted (remember Roman denies visiting DALnet).
In short....
Theory #1: Edge25 and Roman are one and the same (using the RomanTT nick on IRC)
Theory #2: Edge25 read Roman's post (and he visited IRC as RomanTT).
Theory #3: Roman did visit IRC and is not Edge25
Theory #4: RomanTT is not related to Roman and Edge25.
The #3 theory assumes Roman lies about the fact that he visited DALnet.
There are two many coincidences to assume theory #4. However, it is a possibility.
In that case I should apologize.
Fact is that I have this RomanTT guy who visited IRC and fits the Edge25 description and behaviour.
A note to Roman:
This is the game you play if you post in public. You cannot expect people to believe anything you say. Look at it this way... The chances of a time traveller visiting our time (consider the age of the universe) and finding this message board and DALnet are very slim. Ask yourself what a real time traveller has to gain by visiting a message board at all.
