Whats your forum history?

What I mean is how did you get here, how long have you been here for, what major stuff have you done on the forum, and how many different usernames have you used?

I came here in September of 2000. If I remember correctly I was directed here by a PS2 website. For one reason or the other I thought this was an official PS2 website for a while.
I first registered under the username DarkArchonZERO, which is my other internet alias for most things. I, like many others, acted like an arsehole- spamming threads, starting flame wars, ect ect, somehow thinking that by portraying the image that I was tough would make people like me. Fortunetly the reign of DarkArchonZERO on the PSX2 Central forums was short lived, and after about a day I changed my name to Solid Snake 88.
As many people know, in my early days I was quite a spammer. Not on par with some of the mindless trolls like BlahBlah and Co., but still enough to annoy some people. I eventually changed my ways and while I may not post as much as before, I think my posts are much better thought out and written. Which brings us to now.

Lets hear your story.

Used to post at PSX2.net before they folded up.

Needed a new place to hang when I stumbled onto PSX2centrals forum in MAy 2000

Posted alot and still do because I have a cushy union job

One day I posted on the forum and its says moderator. Everyone including myself thought it was a mess up but Bjorn decided one day to mod me

its been a fun ride

Yes!  Everyone post in this topic!  I need this information for Legacy of Emotion.

I followed the link from PSX2Central one day and joined up.  This is one of the very few (hehe, you should all feel priviliged! j/k) boards that I regularly post on.  I\'ve only had 2.5 handles in the past:

Tomcat/Tomcat666/Tomcat69 (from age 5, the number thing was a dumb 12 year old thing that I never dropped)
FatalXception/FatalX (ever since I was 21, less than a year, heh heh).

I realized that Tomcat/Tomcat666/Tomcat69 was (a) not a unique name by far, and (b) not a cool name to have.  I\'m the only FatalXception on ICQ, so that\'s good enuf for me (nobody sign up another one just to screw me, ok? ).  It was especially apparant when I was playin\' Unreal Tournament.

Haha, well I\'ve always been EmperorRob here, but I used to bug the hell out of people over on the Red Alert 2 message board under the alias Lieutenant Ching-Chong.

My history is quite interesting...

I heard about this place at the N64cc forums. I looked around here often and decided that I was going to leave N64cc to join this place since it was more exciting. But instead of just leaving N64cc, I told off mm and got banned on purpose!

When I arrived here, I spammed. In fact, at the end of my first day here I had 112 posts!!!! No one really noticed me until I started acting like an idiot. At that time I was kind of a Nintendo fanboy saying bad stuff about PS2 all the time and I constantly got into fights with other members.

One day, I posted a topic about Crash being on GameCube...I was temporarily banned for that. When I was banned I hanged out in the chat room wishing that I not banned( Cypress and Bob would remember this).

Then, mm came in and with in a nice gesture he unbaned me.

After that I got into more fights. I swear I was like the Triple H of these forums. Everyone hated me and I loved it!

Then one day(in November I think), I got into a major fight with SyxxKorn. I was really ripping him up( no offence TOBG). In one of his threads where he was like " I\'m a changed person now", I posted a pic of some guy giving us the middle finger. Soon following that, I was banned by SoulGrind (aka Loser...).

When I was banned I just hanged around NintendoNation(under the name of Ganon) and at consoledomes(under the name Link). It was actually pretty amusing posting there for that period of time. I had fun there. It should also be noted that both of these forums are down.

About 3 weeks after I was banned I talked to SG on ICQ then he unbaned. I came back with a thread named, "finally, Jumpman, has come back, to PSX2Central...". Everyone was pretty surprised to see me since I was gone for such a vast amount of time.

Ever since then I kind of cooled down a bit. I got into arguments about consoles( I haven\'t been in one of those for a long time now..) a lot but I never  got into a fight again unfortunately.

Well that\'s my history. A once renegade and silently turned into a regular poster who no ones notices anymore. My time in the spotlight is over. I don\'t nearly post as often as I used too and this place has become extremely boring. Hopefully after E3 that will changed.

I came to this forum around late Dec 99 and wasn\'t able to register until Feb 00 because the forums were haveing some problems.  I ended up here by, uh, um, hmm I really don\'t remember.  I think this forum might have had a link on gamefan.com or I was just typing psx2------ in the address bar and ended up at psx2central then followed the link on the homepage.  Oh yeah, I\'ve only had one user name.  I was also away for the forum for about two months due to PC and internet problems, hdd crashed and I got rid of dial up for BB.

I found PSX2central just by typing in playstation2 in a search browser.

I\'ve been comming here for about 8 months now. Ever since I got my computer.
I think I signed up for the forums last year but never used it so I forgot my user name.

So I have only been using these forums for about 3 weeks now. But a lot in the last few days cause I\'m on holiday but my girlfriend is at school.

I started hanging out at PS2NOW sometime waaay back. The place was totally full of PS2 hating idiots and I really didn\'t like the place because of them.

Next, I stumbled upon PS2Lair, and I think I\'m still registered there. Shortly after I found this place and somehow it felt better than all the other forums, so I\'ve been coming back here ever since.

I haven\'t done much for the forums, but some of the smilies used here are made by me.
( :hold: :nut: :snore: )

well, I found this forum by clicking on a link button at gamefan.com(rip), that was somewhere in may2000, after that I was a guest on the boards for about 6 months,
as you all know I\'m not much of a trouble maker in here (I think), I try too sound as a nice person in here, however when flamers and people the like come in and ruin the fun I can get a bit angry and start talking **** to them.
I don\'t really know what else to say, so this is it

I came here 7/3/2000 because I heard BAD things about it at Nintendo forums (of course I had to come). I posted lots of crap and got my picture. Then, when the PS2 launched, since I couldn\'t get one, I left. Last month Avatar convinced me to come back, and here i am.

I started reading these forums somewhere back in 99, yes thats ages ago. I was searching for a cool ps2 website at yahoo and found ps2web. From there i found a link to psx2central. I was a regular visitor for a week when i noticed that the site had forums Since then I have been a "Lurker". I remebered it very well. Soulgrind was still called nathan. MM was a die hard regular poster. MMs chimp wasn\'t called clyde yet...aaahh old memories of flamewars! with ramnstein, segakid and many others. I continued reading the forums till about a week before ps2 launch. I was really fun at the time. I can clearly remember the "countdown thread" (over 40 pages long) and the infamous "kick!" topic! I signed in as liquid snake, but I soon forgot my password so i signed in as Metal_gear_ray! .

i dint used to have this computer and the internet, but about last summer my mum got a pc, i didnt take much notice of it a first, but when i got my ps2 the magazines were really crap, as a game would come out but id have to wait a few months to get a review about a paragraph long, so i decided to look on the internet for reviews, i found many sites some werent that good, but i found a quite good one in plastaioncentre, thats when i found the forums there, at first i didnt sign up, but i watched the forums, they looked fun, so i joined up, but they took ages to put up what you said, like 30 ins, i always felt as if i was the only one there, but there was a lot of people there, slowly this place went down hill, members left, and annoying people joined, there was one bloke called Da predator, he kept getting banned but coming back as someone else, it was fun at first flaming him, but got very boring. I left there looking for a new place, i came here through a link, i liked the way this place was set out, and when i came to the forum it was very alive and fun, so i joined up, it was so much faster and fun than the old website, and here i stayed

I found psx2central in March or May of 2000, trough Ps2web I think. I had visited Ps2web reqularly for about half a year already, but I instantly found this site much more pleasing and fun - with better design and great reviews. I visited this site about once per week, reqularly - but I didn\'t notice the forums ( nor didn\'t know what they meant anyways - I thought it was a \'chat\' ). Time passed and I got bored, as the launch of the PS2 was very near, so I checked out the forums - lurked few days, found it really cool and registered, under the name of Joyda.

I remember Soulgrind still having that good ol\' grinding -pic back then

Some of the fastest ones already had their Ps2\'s here, I believe, but I had to wait for about a month after my registering to get one. I was almost immediately recognized as a \'fast poster\', and hey, I have the second biggest post-count here ( not that I would care about it ).

Oh and I do remember the PS2 EUROPEAN COUNTDOWN -thread, made by Azeroth. It was a fun one.

I had my 500, and my first avatar was Yoda in his purest form - it was quite humorous pic and I remember Potatocake saying it looked like his hairy left \'ball\'

Then came ( I can\'t remember whom started them ) the large war between the good side and the dark side, and I changed my avatar to something more \'official\'.

Well, I lost the war quite fast, and decided to join the dark side - and now I have my master Soulgrind. So I asked him to change my name as to prove everyone that I\'m a dark apprentice now - there from my current name Darth Joyda was born, and I picked again a new avatar, as the old one didn\'t quite match my name anymore. And this eye it has been \'til then, and will be \'til the end of times... BWAHAHA...

But fun it has been - soon my 8th month here begins...

I can\'t even remember how I found this site... I think it was through a link from one of the affiliate sites or perhaps a search for PS2.

I lurked a while before signing up in July 2000. I quicky became a regular and had fun discussing the various topics. I enjoyed the chat a lot too, and got to talk with a small core of members that I still enjoy talking to on ICQ to this date - thanks guys, I\'m glad I\'ve met you. This post is dedicated to you.

Then one day.... I was appointed the fine position of being moderator. And of course I accepted.
