We had another thread to try to pin down the unknown members of the board, but I thought it might be a good idea to have another thread for everyone to introduce themselves to everyone. Basic stuff, like other names you've used, where you've posted, how you found the board, where your biggest interests are ... that sort of thing. I'll start.

 

I'm Loss, and I mod the wrestling folder. I am a huge wrestling fan, but have been trying to make it a point to discuss other things with this group in recent times. I used to sort of have the attitude that it would just be too weird to actually acknowledge the personalities and individuals involved here, but the truth is that some of you I've been around for up to five years now, and when you talk to someone that much, knowing where they come from can come in handy.

 

I started off as URANAGE on Scott Keith's Rantsylvania Delphi forums. When he switched to EZBoard, I switched my name to Loss4Words, and that's where I met the biggest lot of you. Eventually, Dames ended up landing Scott's site and renaming The Smarks The Smart Marks (TSM for short) and I lost interest and spent most of my time posting at WDI. SNKT V2.0 opened up shop later and I found myself posting there more than anywhere, and I also (very) occasionally posted at Dave Dymond's Hideout. We had a really good groove going on at SNKT, which I think we were all enjoying immensely, that faded out over time for reasons that have already been covered plenty of times. I accepted a position at TSM to mod the WWE folder and found myself spending a little less time at SNKT, and I'd later regret ever doing that. Moderating at TSM is a difficult job, especially when you're dealing with a large group of posters who are mostly set in their ways and you're trying to change things up. I think I'm far better suited for a smaller, more intimate board at this point, which is why I'm here. Thanks to MiB for offering me the mod position of the wrestling folder, which is MUCH easier (and way more fun as well!). The "4Words" eventually got dropped in much the same way Hammer dropped the MC, since "Loss" is what most people called me anyway.

 

I have posted or do post at TSM (where I'm now banned!), SNKT 1 & 2, WDI, Smarkschoice, DVDVR, Wrestling Classics, Smarkschoice, RIM, SpiderTwist, BanPlz, tOA and others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

 

I'm Loss4Words1279 on AIM if anyone ever wants to talk, although it will probably be very rare that you'll find me around.

Loss, you know they banned you because you asked or they at least they interpreted it that way, right?

Loss, you know they banned you because you asked or they at least they interpreted it that way, right?

I know.

OK, just making sure.

 

Either way, I'm Some Guy and I son't mod anything (although I did mod Mr. Rant's board briefly a few years ago). I started lurking at SK's yellow Smarkboard and had maybe 10 posts before it closed down. I jumped over to what is now TSM and started postwhoring for a while. I stopped going to the board during 2003 for a while because I was pretty busy with life and started losing interest in WWE. I post here at TSM and WDI (when there is anything to respond to to). That's my story, hope you enjoyed it.

I've been posting as sek69 since the Smarks ezBoard, where my main objective was annoying Scooter Keith by pointing out how full of shit he usually was.

 

When the big flamewars broke out I followed everyone to WDI, where I started to branch out into politics as well as wrestling which served to double the amount of people I can piss off at one time.

 

It's Flyboy's custom title but I'm really a man who does his thing in the background. Most of you all probably don't even remember me posting way back then. It was really at WDI I started carving my niche. It's also there I started following CJ's posts since he seemed to be capable of pissing off lots of folks at one time like I could (albeit on a larger scale).

 

Whenever WDI had its own mini-split I ended up going to SNKT 2.0 for a myriad of reasons. SNKT seemed more like a family where people could talk about stuff and even if the discussion got heated there wasn't any lasting DRAWMUH~! over it.

 

I stopped posting at TSM when this place opened because, honestly, there's too many self-referential assholes and overopninionated people there to have any serious discussion anymore. Here we have movie buffs, sports buffs, wrestling buffs, etc who can actually educate folks without being condiscending.

 

 

In short, I

I'm HarleyQuinn, formerly known as DawnBTVS upon my inception over at TSM. I am currently the moderator of the Sports Folder and uh...that's about it. I've been boarding since roughly 1998, starting over at the WrestleTalks forum. I mainly stayed there before bouncing around various sites until I hooked up at TSM in 2003. Right now, I mainly post here at NMB and will pop in at the Sports Folder over at TSM.

 

I usually suck at doing introductions because I tend to be the face in the crowd who goes about his job without drawing a lot of attention to myself.

This is the only username I've ever posted under, at all the wrestling boards I've posted at (those being here, TSM, WDI, SNKT and even some ones I don't remember). I've never modded anything, anywhere, and I seem to slip under most people's radars, which is good enough for me.

 

I talk about Iron Maiden a lot, and like to complain. A lot.

I've been lurking on all the boards that led to the creation of this one for many years. I was never one to stir up trouble or get caught in the spotlight or spend countless hours trying to appeal to the masses. And so here I am...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish it had been that easy.

Loss is probably the only one i'd know some what from another board. I've gone under to many other names on to many other boards but Loss might know me from PSW as Bo , aside of that I don't have time to go over all the names i've used and boards i've been to.

Eh, okay. I'm Danny Williams, moderator of the Gaming forum on here. I was Insane Clown Dan on the 'net since maybe 1998 (I was 13 then), the summer of 1999 is when my sister, of all people, got me into wrestling. I recall joining TSM around 2002 when an e-fed I was part of moved to the board, but soon after got kicked out of (okay, I admit my several "retirements" and inability to balance writing, school and other projects were getting very much out of hand, but their handling of the situation was also uncalled for. The next time I disown someone, I'm going to write a wrestling match where they get raped by a Rottweiler with rabies while being teabagged by Dragonball's Bacterion. Oh, and get eaten alive by locusts drawn to Bacterion's stench, to complete the effect.) and became somewhat of a TSM regular for a few years as Shadow Sovereign and Danny Williams, with maybe a few memorable lines here and there, but not much in terms of posting. I don't feel like trying to outdo anyone there.

 

I have somewhat of both a controversial and/or honorable reputation, depending on who you talk to, among the communities of the late Senpai.net and Clickteam users, but none among the smarks. I was an admin for some time at Senpai, an anime/jap. culture and news board (I once considered the site my home), until the head admin who everyone now affectionately calls Troutface became too abrasively neutral, pacifist, self-centered, lazy, paranoid and... well, yeah. Long story short, he was our paedophilic otaku Scott Keith. Led a rebellion of sorts and two coup d'etats with Tomatzu, who while a somewhat sad human being is at least 100x more of one than Troutface, and founded the current incarnation of Level-X (the previous ones being SKN3's, L-X Underground, Kliknet and Senpai), which in the 1.5 years it's been around has been relatively successful.

 

All the names I've used : Insane Clown Dan, Danny Williams, Death Angel, Danny Dubya v 2.0, A Rabid Horse, Oni Link, Shadow Sovereign/Wolfsbane, Xanatos Craven, Generalissimo Daniel.

 

My interests are anime, gaming, story roleplaying, coding and web design, wrestling (duh), science, really odd stuff and twisted and perverted humor. Ultimately, my life dream is to create something that will have enough of a cultural impact in America that it will become a household name. Yeah, rather large shoes to fill, but one can try to eat their vitamins and say their prayers. =P

 

'Net-wise, I spend most of my time on Level-X, then lurking on NMB and TSM, then Alturas, Plexus and ChannelZero. I've been at WDI and SKNT too, but got bored of both.

 

I don't talk very much (mostly since I suck at thinking of things to say, and smalltalk in general), but if any of you want to, I'm Insane Clown Dan on AIM.

To most I need no introduction...

 

I used to post as Highspot on Scooter's Rantsylvania Delph Forum and resisted the move to EZBoard until I got bored enough to begin posting there. I posted as Highspot for a while at the Smarks EZBoard until people almost seemed to admire my posts (mainstream DVD reviews on the front page, as well) too much. So in an attempt to make everyone hate me (and boy did this work!) I "killed" Highspot and returned as my current username, Crucifixio Jones. (the name is a take on the character Croccifixio 'Cross' De Lena from Mario Puzo's The Last Don added to a very common, stereotypically "black" last name, JONES.) I made it a point to go out of my way to no longer be nice and instead be an abrasive and condescending know-it-all prick to anyone who crossed me which was cathartic...and addictive. I don't think I ever really stopped after that. I had finally found a "persona" so to speak that really fit me and it was oh-so-liberating. I'm no longer that way, but that side is still a part of me and still comes out on occasion. The quest to prove that Crucifixio and Highspot were one and the same raged on for far too long, IIRC.

 

After Scooter moved on and sold TSM to Dames, I posted at WDI and briefly modded the Porn folder at TSM until they turned it into the LSD (love, sex & dating) folder. After that I left and rarely look back (unless I want to lurk and be reminded of why I never post there). After that, I split my time between Dr. Tom's Cynics Rule EZBoard and World Domination, Inc, a board started by some more disgruntled posters from Smarks. After a blowup and being banned from WDI, me and MiB formed an EZBoard version of SNKT and then an InVision version. Both went belly-up for various reasons and then MiB made this place, NMB, solo. I split my time now between here and ADT (Adult DVD Talk) where I review adult movies. I used to have my own little porno folder when I had SNKT, but since that sorta talk isn't allowed here, I HAVE to go to ADT to talk porn which, all in all, is more satisfying since the majority of the messageboard is dedicated solely to various aspects of that industry and the fans are more knowledgeable than the ones that would just lurk SNKT's porno folder for links to b00b!3z.

 

I've used a few other names over the years, mostly to hide the fact that I'm Crucifixio Jones at places I've previously been banned from: Primo Matarazzo (came to me while flipping through one of Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbooks -- Primo was Chaz Paliminterri's character in Analyze This and the Matarazzo comes from the actress, Heather (Welcome to the Dollhouse) Matarazzo), Ko Shosugi (from kung-fu actor Sho Kosugi), Angelus Avarice (Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Angel's real first name combined with one of the seven deadly sins) and my latest, Edmond Dantes (The Count of Monte Cristo).

 

Apparently I've gained somewhat of a reputation over the years if you've posted at the places I did but once SNKT was formed and I was banned everywhere else, I kinda fell off the IWC's radar. It's a shame kids today don't know who I am. You missed some good times.

First started up on Chris Jericho's board as "Markout4Misawa" in maybe 1998, lurked on the Rantsylvania forums under the same name, maybe posted twice over there. Posted more regularly on TheSmarks board and then WDI as "Cameron Chaos", which merged one of my favourite directors with one of my favourite punk band lead singers at the time (Cameron Crowe and Casey Chaos respectively) which I also used way back when I used to e-fed, was part of the gPc for a while, shifted over to the SNKT and currently post here, TheSmartMarks.com forums and over on Sherdog.com's forums as Superbeast. Recently have been roped into signing up at Bloodyknux.com.

 

I think that's about it. Truefiend411 on AIM, use MSN and can be found on there via my email address.

I started at TheSmarks Ezboard as cobainwasmurdered, crossed over to the Invisionboard and Dames take over. Gained a reputation as a post whore, founded the OAOAST efed with a few other people, led a stupid "invasion" of WDI, where I got banned and eventually unbanned.

 

Founded Vanilla Midgets, Underground Smarks, The Underground, all of which died fairly fast but were fun while they lasted. I was a SuperMod at SmarkTalk until I left to become a Lumberjack...yes a lumberjack. I had several falling outs with The TSM board but always ended up back. I started the somewhat infamous "The Mysterious One" gimmick as several others.

 

I started posting at WDI and then SNKT. I became and still am a Global mod at WDI. I don't post as often as I used to anywhere but I've been to most of the big boards.

 

I can be reached at MYSTERIOUSONEWDI on AIM, though I'm not on as often as I used to be.

Ever since I began posting, I've used the same username. I started lurking at SKeith's Rantsylvania boards, although rarely posted. I gradually earned my name at TSM with my baseball knowledge, although I was not even that knowledgeable until a few years ago, when getting into Bill James' works revitalized my interest in baseball. When Mr. Rant offered a spot writing at his message board in 2003, I took it. I also earned the attention of CJ's crowd by writing an awful porn star rating, but it got me on the map.

 

By the end of 2003 my reputation as a baseball expert was firmly established, and when Mr. Rant's site closed and I looked to start writing baseball columns again, Dr. Tom offered me a spot posting the columns on TSM. Since then I've become a forum moderator at TSM, linked up with MiB at this board, and expanded slightly beyond baseball with my Andre dvd review. I still write the TSM columns occasionally, when time allows. I like to concentrate on my schoolwork when I need, and if there is a benefit to TSM, it is that I have no deadline or requirements.

I'm the Man in Blak, owner of New Millennium Blues. With very few exceptions, I've posted under this nickname at the Smarksboard, TSM, WDI, Underground Smarks, and SNKT.

 

I tried to think of a concise way to lay out my posting history, but there's way too much crap for one post. To make a long story short...I was banned from WDI for wrecking the board's anniversary thread, and I got into an infamous flame war at TSM with Marney and Dr. Tom regarding Marney's "bulletproof" status on the board. I started the first SNKT with CJ, only to essentially burn it to the ground when CJ and I had a flame war to end all flame wars over a misunderstanding caused by The Game, and then we started the second SNKT, only to see it undermined by server errors and other issues.

 

Time constraints from a shitty job and married life have essentially "reduced" me to the stereotypical board administrator that chips in comments in discussions everywhere, but I used to be able to hold my own in discussions about wrestling, music, and video games, way back when. Nowadays, I just try to focus my online energy towards making NMB a great community for of all kinds of discussion.

I'm this guy that used to post a lot on message boards.

 

Seriously.

 

The first board I really posted on was the Rantsylvania Delphi board, where I argued music and bad wrestling with the likes of JShapiro and The Mann They Call Josh. After the implosion of said forum (as well as the transgender implosion of Sean Shannon...er, #### #######), I kinda floated around until ending up at the EZBoard...then after that imploded (notice a theme?), I moved on to WDI, which I sort of helped implode the first time by "feuding" with Dave Dymond/The Thread Killer in the infamous Content Vs. Fun debate. After that, as well as many changes in my life, I sort of dropped off the face of the internet, only to resurface recently after my presence was...not exactly requested, but something along those lines. And here I am.

 

And dammit, I do try to please my fans.

 

I am, without a doubt, the most opinonated member of any forum I am a part of...or at least, I used to be. Nowadays, I'm much more laid back and tend to go the Stevie B. route.

 

Ah, the good old days.

 

Er, the old days.

I'm uh... Okay well, I'm the guy that's been an administrator on every board I've ever posted at, except for this one (I think this is some cruel joke, honestly).

 

I met most of these people at Rantsylvania/The Smarks, where I didn't do a lot of posting, but did some lurking. Uhh, following the Smark exodus, I went on to being a founding father of WDI, and then a founding father of SNKT v2 when all that happened.

 

Nowadays, like 'ol Terry up there, I'm reduced to kinda just chipping in when something monumental happens, and watching from afar basically, as life has taken control and I don't really have much time to dedicate myself to a board anymore.

 

I'm the guy that made Marney leave TSM. I was the God gimmick on WDI that got all the heat and got Mike the Guido banned. If you remember any of the latest Genius incarnations, they were probably me too.

 

Someone here called me the Rock of message boards.

 

I agree.

 

I miss Stevie B. :[

 

EDIT: I've been gone for a couple days, so... someone tell me why Loss got banned from TSM.

Kotzenjunge banned him for basically saying he wouldn't mind being banned from the forum since his efforts seemed futile at times.

That's cold, getting banned by someone who looks like the creepy guy who was banging the mom on Six Feet Under.

I have no objections to it. It was for the best. I was miserable anytime I posted there anyway, for obvious reasons. Kotz was only doing what he thought I wanted, so no hard feelings whatsoever.

This might be a dumb question, but rather than needing to ask to be banned, why not just voluntarily stop going there?

Because the temptation is still always there to stop by and post as long as you can go there. Someone says something ridiculous and you feel like you have to intervene, but if you can't, you can't. That's what typically happened with TSM -- I'd tell myself I wasn't going to go there anymore, but then I'd check the board out in curiosity and come across something so ludicrous that I'd have to say something.

 

I used to get PMs from newbies and passers by there asking me if I ever got tired of playing the "scolding teacher" role there. The answer? Yes.

I'm goodhelmet aka Will and I am the least relevant poster ever.

I had my first taste of the messageboard scene when Terry sent me a link to a "clever" post he made in the Music folder at TheSmarks. I then joined the board on September 11th (Yes, that September 11th). I was there until WDI came along. I was a mod at WDI and was a part of the famous (or would it be infamous?) gPc. We broke up, and got back together. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

 

I have always posted under this moniker. I have posted at TheSmarks, WDI, Hoff's place, and at Dave's board until he found out who I was and banned me (because he was pissed off at me for "breaking someone's heart" and because he later thought that I was the one who gave out a supposed chat he and I had that made him look like a stalker that was obsessed with me and was going to leave his wife to be with me. I only found out about this chat recently...and it was passed out by someone who was pissed off and jealous.) I have also lurked at a few other boards, but I can't even remember their names.

 

I was known as the First Lady Of WDI. I am known for my "fun" posts, rather than ones filled with content. Also known for being the one you can talk to when you need to be heard, or need advice.

 

I left the messageboard scene after moving down south to be with Terry. I wanted to leave that part of me behind, and often wish I would have at times. I since have gotten married and had a beautiful baby.

 

I am currently an Admin/Co-Owner of a recently opened messageboard that will hopefully help bring Southern Illinois (and its surrounding areas) Magic players together, and give them a place they can discuss and buy cards.

 

 

(Side Note: where is Stevie B.?)

I'm goodhelmet aka Will and I am the least relevant poster ever.

Ha, as if. *pulls out inverto-ePenis and waves it*

 

You can have 2nd place though. No shame in silver.
