Oldbies will groan for me listing this fact again, but back in 2000, not too long after edczxcvbnm and I graduated High School, I had a full time office job and he was off to college upstate. We kept in contact through e-mail since social networking wasn't really a thing back then. I used to post on the official Marilyn Manson message board and he went around trolling Final Fantasy fan sites to see how fast he could get banned.

Well, whatever he tried here didn't work, so he stuck around and quickly discovered he liked discussing Chrono Cross stuff with people (it was a new game at that time). He would e-mail me discussions he had with people. Seems kind of whatever now, but back then doing such things was still a pretty fresh deal. By the time February of 2001 rolled around, I grew tired of the Manson boards (though I didn't stop posting there completely) and decided to officially join here. I made an ass of myself for the first week or so because I was used to how the Manson boards really didn't have rules or organization (I felt a mod unfairly called me out here and I made a thread calling the mod out, lol).

But yeah, there's that story again.
