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 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 here for more information.) This incident became known as the Maverick Mutiny.
Maverick remains a member of CF.net and Between Two Waves so thankfully this talented Argentinian has not totally left the wider alternate history community.

Notable AH cliché killing
In maverick's own words : “I've started a trend to kill known cliches in my TLs.” So far:
-Bland United India: Averted in Sol de Austria, A Red Eagle Rises & The Dragon Rises High.
-Boring Little Switzerland: Averted in The Fallen Prince.
-Nothing ever happens in South America: Averted in Fuego en el Magallanes, Times of Trouble & La Larga y Oscura Noche.
-Minor misconceptions about Japan in random threads and major misconceptions about Argentina whenever I feel like it.
-Premodern Japan as a Great Power: Averted in The Realm of the Mountain, played straight and subverted in The Dragon Rises High.
-Kazakh Border: The Soviet Union often survives one way other other past 1991 (Kings of Camelot), or the Russian Empire is never overthrown (The Fallen Prince).
-Ninja vs Samurai: In open battle, the Samurai crush the Ninja, but by this point Samurai use Firearms almost exclusively and swords are beginning to be seen as antiquated In-Universe The Realm of the Mountain.“
