Bio: Back in the day, I was drawn here through Nintendoland, when it was still alive, by the cool intro to the battlefields, and I later was told I arrived with the first "VGF Noo b oom", and soon was a regular fighter in the battlefields, having several fun romps with acclaimed fighters such as Joker, Darth Bowser and others. Enjoying RPGs with Rirse, before he left, and relaxing in a chair smoking my pipe at the Warriors Inn. I soon left the battlefields restless for something new, posting here and there, and soon posting the idea for a NES/SNES forum, and to my amazement, the forum was created, and mod election was created, and after a gruelling six weeks or something along that line, me and Tanooki were still neck and neck in the mod race, and the victor was soon proved to be me. Tanooki soon went on to win the GCN forum to leave it only months later. Soon the VGF crashes happened, causing the leaving of many memorable, and good VGF friends. I soon quieted down in my forum, posting occasionally out of it, sometimes in the topics Tub posted more often than not. Soon, Shane brought a fresh slate: Netgen to quiet some of the members who thought the suggestion box should have been a bin. But nonetheless, I soon joined Fryguy and several others in the Politics, Philosophy and Religion forum, having great debates that were argued until the page count drew high. I also visited the Sciences forums, enjoying an intelligent talk about the latest discoveries and whatnot. I later went to the writing and book forum, to enjoy talking about books I loved. Soon afterwards, HealthyForums came to be, having fun in several topics about certain things I soon stopped going to both, and settling back in my home town of VGF, which was experiencing another population boost of noobs, and brought forth some rather odd, yet insane clubs and organizations and ^Link^. But I kept out of most of this unless it came into my forums, which soon had a name change to what it is today: The Retro Nintendo forums, where you can talk about any of the retro systems, even if its not Ninty! I soon found my creative side, finding that I was quite good at not only creating art, but designing web pages, and writing a good yarn about Mario and the gang, or just a fantasy/sci fi story. But soon, I was finding less and less time for the internet, getting a job, and hitting the books to keep grades up. My site, and VGF, were soon not a number one priority, and I fell from the eyes of many VGFers, only a handful knowing I still came here, and enjoying my company, not only in the Retro Ninty forum, but on AIM as well. I helped one of the people I enjoyed chatting to on AIM start his site you see up there: www.nintendowriter.com well not actually creating the site, but helping him get his site known and make it the bustling place it is, growing more and more everyday. I found myself in the last days at my high school, enjoying prom and graduation. I am now enjoying one of the last summer vacations Ill have, before I start my new job on the 23rd and start at the University of Louisville, but I know that Ill always have a spot in my old forums on VGF ^_^. And I thank everyone for giving me that warm welcome those years ago, and still enjoying my company, however obscure, on VGF today.
