It was removed from staff after either Astro or Sham took charge as head admin and the account was disabled, and since I'm not Eternal Staff (the account pretty much solely existed for testing purposes), I doubt it'll make a return.

For today's screenshot of the day, we have June 11, 2013.
On this day I reached the post count of 24065 as benboy755, which on the old MBs represented the milestone of the Legend rank. Unfortunately for me I didn't achieve it on the old MBs, but rather late than never I guess. It would have been more poetic if I'd reached the mark on June 7, my MB anniversary, but I was late for that too. Quite embarrassing. I believe I was the 19th user to reach that post count - when the MBs ended there were around 30. You can see that moderation was fast that day, my post went live after only 13 minutes, which was impressive for back then. This was also in the MB Cafe, a topic which pretty much resurrected my activity in the summer of 2013. I became active in May 2013 with around 22000 posts and ended the year with almost 30000 more. (the good old days). Here you can also see my OG signature and one of my original avatars. This avatar was my last to ever feature the ponytail, though I did revisit the muscleman top for a while in 2014-2015. My signature at the time was a relic from the old MBs, one of my LEGO Universe characters was named Elbereth Githoniel and was a Sentinel Knight. For those of you who know Lord of the Rings lore, this may explain to you why I named my first dupe account 42Varda. Of course, Benboy's Chatroom Member refers to my infamous chatroom which was locked due to spam in July 2012 and was unlocked as a part of the update. No one bothered spamming there again, so the mods kept it open. However, when the LEGO Universe forum closed, the 4000 page chatroom was too large to move somewhere else, so unfortunately was deleted. After that I basically just posted in Community Chat and MB Help.
But yes, here's a 7 year old bit of nostalgia for everyone. Later this summer, I'll try to up that to eight.
