====== Maverick ====== A former board member and moderator from [[Argentina]] who in his time on AH.com created a diverse folio of work, many of which is still on the servers. He was [[hall of infamy|banned]] after making several mistakes whilst attempting to "improve" the board, which resulted in the permanent loss of several threads. By that point he was getting increasingly frustrated with the board and so wished to wipe all record of his time on AH.com off the servers. This led to him deleting many of his own threads, breaking one of the main rules Ian had laid out to his moderators (see the original banning [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-4326871|here]] for more information.) This incident became known as the [[Maverick Mutiny]]. Maverick remains a member of [[offtopic:counter-factual.net|CF.net]] and [[offtopic:inter_duas_undis|Between Two Waves]] so thankfully this talented Argentinian has not totally left the wider alternate history community. ---- ==== Works ==== === a.)
