I would assume he isn't daft enough to post without masking his IP address but that's the first place I'd check if I had mod powers.
He'd probably pick a really inconspicuous name with Villa or Villan in it. Maybe the club colours mentioned. Just to come across like a normal, Villa fan and make it not about him.
He'd be almost exclusively browsing the Villa threads and never in off topic or anything like that.
I think it'd be unlikely he'd be on the forum between the hours of 11pm and 5am. So if you have any suspects in mind, I'd check the profile of that person and see if their posting times align with this.
There will obviously be nobody here to vouch for him so anyone who has met a prominent member in real life can be eliminated from our investigation.
Haven't got a clue tbh.

As the subject of Villa spindled one way and the other, from PSR to Tielemans’ playmaking abilities, Prince William disclosed one of the more royally guarded secrets: in his spare time, he is a regular contributor to online fan forums.
“He said he keeps abreast of Villa gossip because he is on all the fans’ forums,” says Jones. “He goes under different names and he posts on there because that’s how he gets the feeling of what’s going on and what’s the opinion.”
The prince finished his pint and after three-quarters of an hour, an aide, who had been sitting, as Jones puts it, “quite far back” from the Villa huddle, reminded him that his train would be leaving shortly.
He was in no rush, however. Such was the lack of urgency to move and being immersed in conversation, he had to be reminded twice more that his train was swiftly approaching.
“It was a release into normality,” says Johnson. “At the end, he just said, ‘OK, shall we get some photos done?’. Everyone had one on their own before a couple of group photos. Once he left, we had another pint. It was a once-in-a-million lifetimes thing.”

And he’s contributed towards building our reputation at a time that we needed it. It’s not like he started to follow us when Emery rolled up.Yeah, absolutely. He can’t choose his parents any more than the rest of us. But he seems to be a nice enough bloke, which is all anyone can do really. Nice that he’s just as preoccupied with how the Villa are doing as the rest of us :)

Have Risso and Ads actually defected to another Villa forum?
Yeah, I haven't seen or heard from either in a while. I hope it's nothing more serious than a defection and they're both happy and well.

They are all about the brand and glamour so to have an opportunity for a British Royal then going to take it.

Risso is fine. No idea about Ads.

I can’t say too much - but the 82 in my name is my year of birth not because of Rotterdam
Kind of illustrates how long ago Rotterdam was, that at the time Diana was just under a month away from popping the current heir apparent
