As a lot of you know, I've been a member at GameSpot since July 2004. I'm known for making the Conan O'Brien Union and I'm somewhat respected by certain groups of users. But you don't know where I came from. I want to share my history at GameFAQs.
It all started on the night of December 23, 2002. I saw some posts on the GTA: VC board and I wanted to post there. So I decided to make myself a GameFAQs account. For my first four months, I was a complete newb. I got modded 4 times (3 for off-topic, 1 for trolling, all NKL's) and didn't know how to use some of the site features. I felt lonely, I felt lost. One day I went to MBH to ask a question and there I met a good friend. He's known as Baseman. I started talking to him a lot and he made me appreciate MBH more. Eventually, he brought me to a board known as Kangaroo or the KGB (Kangaroo Game Board). There I met a few mods and some MBH regulars. I posted more at MBH and started to pay attention to the rules and other parts of the site. Eventually Kangaroo got flooded and we made a new home, Defender. I loved Defender. I was the 6th person to be invited there and we pretty much built the board from scratch. Soon enough, I start posting at MBH all the time and really get the joy of helping people out. Nothing noteworthy happened until April 2004. tiger8191 was granted a private board. This was prime to us because we needed a board where no trolls could ever visit. So we brought back the KGB. KGB is where I post the most. I love that board. I like the community and I feel good being there. I left MBH for a little while, but now I've started to come back to it. I love helping people out. I love knowing more about the site as I keep going there.
So what do I want to do in the future at GameFAQs? I want to be a mod. I've been wanting to be one for quite some time now. I want to be a mod because I want to make a difference to GameFAQs. I want to feel like that I'm doing something good there. Sure I could make reviews and contribute FAQs, but is that what I want to do? I get a good feeling of helping people and I have a strong knowledge about the TOS. I will uphold the TOS and punish the people that violate it. I hate it when I see violations on the boards and it affects normal posting. I have learned what mistakes I have made in the past and learn from them. I just want to give GameFAQs something back for all it has given to me. GameFAQs has served as a home for me for 2 1/2 years and now I want to show my appreciation to it by making th message boards a better place.
