[HUMOUR] Seems I've found the real life Colby Rook! We can put a face to the hoaxer Well, Tonight I got bored researching clues, so I decided to look through some only threads. Turns out I ended up on the original Tagruato thread, where this kid Colby had his who'll hoaxing thing going down. If you've been here for a while, I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.
So just in the ODD VERY SHORT chance that he was somehow authentically connected, I brought up my trusty google tab, and put him in. I'm Australian also, so i wanted to put a name to the blame.
seems I found our man:

quite the celebrity. Not taking this game to a personal level or anything, I just thought some of you would be interested in putting a face to this hoaxer.

......................You do realize that there's no way in hell he's the only person to ever have the name Colby Rook, right? And why the hell are you taking things so personally-- what are you going to do, find him?
What the hell is the point to this?

Uh, relax.
Did you not notice the big fat [HUMOR] tag on this thread?
OK now, take a deep breath...

Gave me a good laugh
But to be honest, if we really want to punish Colbyrook, we should forget about him. To him it would seem any publicity is good publicity, and we don't want to play along with that.

Well you kinda are.... hence why i'm gonna ask a mod to shut this thread down. This is uncalled for, and unnecessary. Would you want all these people knowing who you are building block? Everything about you? Didn't think so.

You've won a... ...watch Nice, well done for confirming there Colby.
I agree that it's out of order, but people could have taken it as being someone else prior to your posting.
I'm with Colby on this thread being deleted, as now it's been confirmed as 'Actual Real Life' and not just fun and could have ramifications.
Colbs, next time don't be a douche bag with faking stuff and if you must use the internet use a slightly less obvious name.

Oh, come on, do you people really think he's actually Colby Rook? The humor tag on this is right on the spot, because this is all a huge joke.
The guy comes here, put up a badly made hoax, even seeing how pissed people get about that and then you expect to believe him that he put his own name as nick on a forum full of people with lots of spare time who have fun finding information on the net?
I bet he even knows this Colby guy and thought he could prank twice with the same stone.
Sure, we can ignore the poor guy who's desperatedly needing attention, but making fun of him also works for me. As long as it's fun for us and no one goes to bother the real Colby Rook.

You might be right there. Buildingblock joined on the 5th October, Colby had his short lived time here from the 1st to the 3rd of October.
Sad if it's true, sad indeed. BB if you're a real person then sorry, if not it's really disheartening supposed CB.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply BB was CB in disguise. I was saying CB used the name as his nick trusting someone would look it up. When we bit the bait he posted to say "yes, it's me, now you can find everything about me and bug me".

It's cool BB, there's only one Jackass here and it's Colby.
Only beef I've got is that he might get jumped for being a twit.

ANyone who doesn't think that hoaxes will be made of anything as big as this game not only has ZERO imagination but is totally out of the loop, like that dude that pretended to be the American president, what was his name, George Bushwhacker or something.
