Part of me is saying Birb's bullshitting, and part of me says Birb's telling the truth. Its 1AM where I live, so if anyone else can investigate this, I'd be happy.
I need to get some sleep - I'll likely be back once this weird shit is over.
Everything matches up well, according to the archived user pages he was 18 in January 2008 which would make him 34 now - which is what Birb's age is listed as. His itch.io page is also titled krausunxp, which is pretty damn close to his second username mrkrahs. I personally think everything lines up.
I hope you don't take the bumblings of this group too personally, @Da-Birb. The entire purpose of this group is to keep the portal clean, and whether you agree or disagree, a submission created using entirely AI is against modern Newgrounds rules as AI grows more and more. Your most recent submission shouldn't be taken down, although it could possibly get blammed. I assume it'll pass though, things don't get blammed as much nowadays.
(Although if you would like some advice on it not getting blammed, I'd personally move away from the AI-generated thumbnail - not because I'm an AI hater or anything like that, but because I personally tend to vote higher on submissions that are honest about what they look like in the thumbnail.)
