Well, that was my thought. He seems only to have changed fairly recently. I only became aware when someone put a thread up here. His earlier helmets all clearly had PP2 lineage, including his very earliest versions, per an article by Singleseat that was on the original MPPC forum [the old old version before they lost the database, when it was 'Company' versus 'Community'].
Again, given how long these have been in circulation, the basis for that could be from a variety of sources. I know of ESB casts being in hands as early as 2017, and it may have been earlier than that.
I've lost track of who is selling these now, but I had thought it was now only Machine who could sell ESB casts on this board; who am I missing?
This isn't a dig at this board, or of these kinds of boards in general, but the gravity of a sanction by a board of this type seems now to be significantly less than once it was. There is now such a wide spectrum of places for people to sell their wares that the mind boggles, and that the brand of the recaster no longer reaches the significance that once it did.
