The wiki page has tipped me off that the creator of Aeon Flux posts here, which amazed me until I remembered there's an entire board for Aeon Flux.
The Luna thread seems longer than six years ago, I'm friends with two of my main antagonists from there now, which is a good thing.

maybe I am just not a trusting person, but how the fuck could anyone have believed that was her
I think when you have a well-liked poster that has posted for years claim it as such, it's easy to believe and people are loathe to say anything if they suspect something. At the time, I believed it was a real pic of her (and based on the thread, so did many others), though I would have been just older than 20 and probably pretty naive. I think we're all much more aware of fake identities and catfishing now

Why is it so unrealistic for an ilxor to be hot? There are plenty of good looking people on here.

is ethan p okay what is he doing now
No idea, but when I was still modding last year, there was some discussion of him on the "why do people leave" thread. Someone registered under a name and IP location that seemed to match with him, flagged one of his own old homophobic posts, and then disappeared again.
