a few of us who have been in the forum for quite some time had concluded that reporter2 is actually mr. funny, the admin, but changed the nick to segregate the 2.

reporter 2's news posts are very similar to mr. funny's.

that reporter is not exactly a reporter. simply creating hype by highlighting record psf in big bold red.

I don't think it is a human per se. Otherwise no reason for him to double post with exact same title and contents when another forummer already beat him to it. And the threads were side by side...

Admin inbox, probably yes administered by a human. But the reporter2 postings might be automated... or remotely added from a script.
