The reason I remember the necromancer alt name was being used to bump threads and such was because it was my first public post in the forum under this name to call attention to it, and to the fact that it wasn't me. I know there was a necromancer on that specific april fools that was bumping a ton of threads, not all of which were polls.
Now, In hindsight, perhaps there were two pranksters that day, one calling themselves the necromancer bumping threads, and then Stienman as JCN bumping polls, and perhaps all the blame got laid upon Stieny and that other necromancer got away unscathed?
