Now that the other site has been permanently disabled, I, marco26, welcome all of you foreigners to the new board. Oh, the format and colours are different, but the same procedures and protocol apply:
1. marco26 will reign supreme 2. foreigners will call soccer 'soccer' and not call it 'football' 3. lists of losers will be compiled and Sanduskys will be awarded. Bank Holidays will now be a part of the competition. Next up for Sandusky competitions: March 1 - St. David's Day March 17 - St. Patrick's Day April 16 - Easter May 1 - Early May Bank Holiday July 4 - Fourth of July
You have now been sufficiently warned.
That is all for now, mates. Looking forward to favourable times here at our new home.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I pm'ed him a question that only the real marco would know the answer to. I will notify all if he responds correctly. otherwise it's safe to assume h is an imposter.

Not to forget, "mate." Are you Australian? Nor would he be likely to celebrate a "bank holiday". Although, wasn't part of marco's lore that he was secretly British?

Didn't marco have an IQ of 157 or something? He'd know how to spell favourable the British way and about bank holidays. I want to believe marco didn't die with IMDb....

Or....
It could be the real Marco, pretending to be an imposter!
For 3 reasons:
A British person wouldn't use the term "that is all for now, mates". 'Mates' just sounds weird in this context, you don't use the word 'mates' in the plural like this. So it does sound like an American pretending to be a Brit. In Britain you might say "that is all for now, lads" or "that is all for now, guys" or "that is all for now, chaps" but what you don't say is "that is all for now, mates". The only instances I can think of when you use the term 'mates' in the plural is when you say "I'm meeting up with my mates tonight" or something like that.
Also, any British person knows that Americans don't use the term 'mates' when referring to friends or acquaintances. And they also should also be fairly aware of the local spelling differences between 'favourable' and 'favorable'. Surely a real imposter would have this nailed down?
And finally, Marco must have been fairly aware of this site's existence, I think he might have had something to say on the IMDb boards if there was an imposter running amok?
So I'm putting it out there that this IS the real Marco, but he is pretending to be an imposter.
But just to screw with your heads further, I'm not ruling out that this is an imposter pretending to be Marco who is pretending to be an imposter!

Marco26's posts on IMDb were very precise. They did not contain errors or improprieties such as this "mates" in the plural. And he wasn't really interested in impersonating a British person, but rather, he presented himself as a New Yorker.
I hear you, but I think it's an imposter. It just doesn't match marco26's style.

Well whether it was a Brit or a Yank who wrote that (or someone else), they clearly purposely crowbarred the word 'mates' into that post. Which makes me think the other mistakes may have been intentional too. Probably because they knew it would start 'this'.

OP - what do you think of Tom Hardy? He was brilliant in THE DROP. He is excruciatingly boring and one note in TABOO.

Marco loved Taboo.
I actually got bored of taboo after 4 eps, well I had other stuff to do and it wasnt a priority catch up- but it was still good and i will get back in to it and rewatch from the start.
Yes he was brilliant in the Drop. as he has been in many others

I actually got bored of taboo after 4 eps, Yes, I fell asleep during the 4th episode, the fact I've had little inclination to go back to it since tells me everything I need to know.

Instead of "mates" the real marco26 calls posters "dope(s)".
