His name is still clickable but he suddenly left the forums without notifying other users.
Some users lied about his impoliteness and put words into his mouth.
What happened to him?
Have a good day!

BokaBB didn't say that. Even if they did lie about me being impolite and actually did put words in my mouth, I'd rather not have that edited into the quote.
To clear some things up, I wasn't forced to delete my account. I think it's mostly my fault, but here's what I still remember at the current moment:
My dad noticed that I was working on my search program, accusing me of doing my own irrelevant programming stuff, instead of a school programming lab or USACO training.
I offered to let him delete all my search program code, which he refused for some reason that I'm not sure of.
My dad said he "caught" me doing CA stuff many times, and told me to shut down my computer because I was behind in my linear algebra course. I am pretty sure he was aware that I was running JLS searches on my computer at the time.
I made these implications:
If he wants me to shut down the computer when he knew I was running JLS searches, then he must want me to kill those searches. And if he wants me to kill those searches, then he must want me to destroy all the work I had done in CA.
So I did. I tried to rm -rf *.rle, and it did nothing, so I ended up trying to delete *.rle, *.mc, *.jdf, folder-by-folder. I also deleted JLS. Then
my dad threatened to cut the power to the room in 10 seconds if I didn't shut it down, so I ended up trying to delete every file, even the non-ca ones. But it hung on a protected folder, so
I gave up and unplugged the computer, in an attempt to corrupt as many files as possible.
Now, because I believed he wanted me to destroy all my CA-related work,
I sent a message to as many moderators and admins as I knew the usernames to (except Andrew, who doesn't seem to accept messages), asking them to delete my forums and wiki account.
I blanked out my user and talk page and added a "Farewell" message, as well as sending one to Random Posts, and putting them in places like my signature and location fields. Then I logged out for what I thought would be the last time before I turned 18.
My dad had earlier said he wasn't against CA stuff (What?!), and the next day, he said he didn't even want me to stop permanently. But after around a week,
I tried to explain that I felt like I was forced to destroy my CA work, he said he didn't want to talk about it. I also expressed my hopes of going back to CA on July 1st (because summer), and
my dad said he didn't think he'd ever let me go back to CA ever again, mentioning summer camps.
Conclusion: I can't contribute much, but he can't stop me from observing and maybe even editing patterns on my phone, but it's still really inconvenient, so I might point out gutters in oscillator partials and draw in some catalysts to complete conduits.
Edit: Hunting,
my farewell message is not a hack, but I'm kind of back now.
