  On a dark stormy night, at an old internet cafe near the ocean, the short version of the story goes something like this .....

  Back in the days when WGT didn't really have anything to payout, Tibbets, was a gaming bot created to dominate WGT & steal wins/leaderboards. Amazing shots were made replays were saved & humans we're able to replicate the bots skills. Some of those humans now work for WGT. Then 2 more bots were created. I can only name them by initials here. BiB & AL. Yes it's true, they were Tibbs replacements. Check leaderboards & payouts of big prize tourneys.

  But alas I must run, there's creaking on the old planking of the boardwalk behind me.

  Oh NOOOO!!! in the doorway ...   it's... it's... GULP....GASP NOOOOOooooo!!!!! ....................................

  There was a time when the name tibbets was 1st place in everything. Everything. The best who ever played here. The best. Fact of life.

  As he whisked me away from the clanking clutches of 1 of his replacements, he whispered 1 request to me. In a computer generated monotone he said " Tell them to read my posts, ALL of them"

  I have been on wgt for around 8 or 9 months and have heard so much about the legend TIBBETS  I thought I would checkout his profile and maybe some of his replays, but when I tried ti find his profile page nothing nada doesn't exist on wgt   why?

  did not know the guy myself , but i do know he was a true champion of this game , i belive he won the getaways and gave them away to other folk on 2 occasions that i have heard of because he had won it and he wanted someone else to have the plesure , not saying its fact , only what i have read over the time . if it is true then he  is a true gentlman also , my suggestion is dont bag him if you dont know him and hes not here to defend himself . just my 2 bobs worth , long live tibbets no1 on wgt ...............

  good catch also b0gey, 

  Wonder what the difference is between the 'user' directory and the 'members' directory? Seems some old players show up in the players search and some don't. I wonder if they stay in the 'user' directory (same as one used for active players) until a certain time frame of inactivity, and then get moved to the 'members' directory after that time frame of inactivity...... maybe a space saving archive?

  ie; my current profile path:

  http://wgt.com/user/profile.aspx?UserID=897993

  and Tibbetts:

  http://www.wgt.com/members/tibbets/default.aspx

  and here is the lowest id value I could find for anyone in the user path, anyone know of any smaller values still active? I'd like to see the smallest, just out of curiosity, it might show us the longest active player!
