I've always thought he was the real deal but I always figured he exaggerated to get pity from us. He did post pictures of himself a few times (though I guess he could have just as easily found someone's site online). Fred found us in 2005 and we didn't even have a main site at the time so I have no idea how he found the forum.
I dunno if you guys read the rules when I changed them a year or so ago, but I have a rule called the Fred rule. Inspired by him
i don't know either but hearing his story makes my life seem not as bad.
Haha. Paul, I missed this earlier. This is why I don't get depressed about life. As shitty as life can get, there's always some poor bastard that has it way worse than me.
