That is weird, why didn't he? He's normally not content with being just an anonymous author.
Ryulong is an asshole and in an open relationship with reality. But he does meet up with reality from time to time when reality isn't busy fucking someone else up the arse.
I suspect he's very much aware that an appeal would most likely be denied. The RationalWiki drama is just over, and the whole bleach wiki affair came after that, and then there was that other anime wiki quite a while ago he got kicked off. If he would appeal now it all that drama would be sniffed out in an instant and would go on his "Wikipedia record", so to speak. Not good for him, because once they learn he's been banned off not just one, not just two, but a grand total of
three wikis in less than a year
after getting permabanned from Wikipedia , I think that anyone would come to the conclusion that this is a fairly hopeless case. One would expect that one would tone it down a notch after getting kicked off Wikipedia, but not Ryulong. If anything, he
stepped up a notch.
So he could be doing a few things:
- Biding his time. He's been keeping a low profile, not causing drama, etc. One would hope that he learned his lesson and moved on to more productive hobbies better suited to his personality, but Ryulong doesn't exactly have a history of learning from his mistakes and those IPv6 BoNs shed even more doubt on that. Ryulong is well known for applying the "but that was months ago, I'm a better person now!"-defence so he might apply in a few months, and when the drama gets brought up he uses that defence, which he's been using for almost a decade and is completely unbelievable at this point, but he's unhinged enough to try and I think that at least partly he's actually genuine in wanting to change and do better−he just can't and slips back to old behaviour at the drop of a hat.
- He either changed his online persona from Ryulong to something else or is planning to. Not the most likely, for some reason he can't get go of his double dragon thing just like he can't let go of the buddyloids, but it's possible, and he doesn't have that many options left at this point.
- He has no idea what the fuck to do and edits as BoNs out of sheer wikiholic desperation.
