It's true, I'm that obvious. Also I apparently live in Singapore going by Angelo's IP.
Ah HA, all roads lead back to Portugal! Oh, wait...

And I doubt the red eye'd guy is just a big trolling scheme since it's been going on for more than half a year now.
Oh yeah certainly not, I don't know the last time a WPM riddle didn't result in something fairly-sorta big (Secret Soon doesn't count, the banner was the only thing done before the new theme went live--the big thread was safariblade's doing). But one or two "fake" accounts made by staff to subtly push things along is in the realm of possibility, I'd say.
Probably safe to say you aren't a fake account, Pikapwn. I don't know who would go through the trouble of labeling
this image's creator as <probably real name that I'm preeetty sure isn't a mod's name>.
Going back to our main hint:

The avocado tree I planted a year ago has a bunch of babies all over it!! The flowers bloomed into avocados!
1) Avocados are green. Green objects have been used to refer to moderators in the past (see again:
My Fish Died).
2) I don't know if I'm allowed to say this
(so edit me if need be) but I don't
think the staff was doing anything in particular circa 12 months ago. I don't know, maybe Elite Stride was made smod, or maybe we were working on various forum projects or something, but nothing super-totally-groundbreaking that would relate to this.
3) "Babies" -- There seemed to be a
lot of staff departures last year, and a
lot of "young blood" that came in to replace them. Still don't know if that staff rotation has anything to do with something WPM did 12 months ago--that's all really handled by SR now.
4) No idea about the flowers... Junior mods haven't been a thing for a while, unless you count mods-in-training, which aren't like the hugest thing ever.
This whole thing would be really much
just to be a forum thing, unless we're getting a new theme (unlikely, this one took like 3 years to make and is
very serviceable).
