Just to make the Zombie Parade complete... Ta-da!
(Everybody else: "...who's that...?")
Holy hell, it's you! OMG! WTF!
Your last "I'm back!" phase didn't even last long enough for me to quit the first time, you crazy founder, you! XD
Tiny adjustments and additions to your story (without going into some of the sillier chapters of history :P), as far as I even recall them myself:
Heck, I only joined for the first or second Lemon Contest if I recall correctly.
I originally joined to help with the new layout (more specifically: to apply the predesigned, new layout to all pages... and to get rid of phpGallery while we were at it) and the updates while letting you handle the rest (like communicating with submission artists, mods, and so on). The fact that I got Board Adminship was a lucky side effect since that was just a few weeks before Real Life caught up with you, leading to your first disappearance ;)
A side effect of that was that I suddenly had to do things I never planned to do. But the main problem was that I was only "Acting Commander", waiting for you to come back. That's one of the main reasons why I had been so reluctant to hand out Master Passwords and such. Maybe a bad move on my side since MY real life was also rapidly catching up with me, but at that time, it had made sense in my eyes (even though some will disagree with me, I know). Luckily, it worked out in the long run, thanks to the cool dudes here :D
In the end, it was the sudden downtime of the DaD that pulled things around. I'll leave out a few sillier details of "recent" history, but let it just be said that I decided to let the dudes here brainstorm for solutions out of this crisis.
The result is the DaD you came back to. Looks just like the one you had to leave, but quite a few things changed under the hood, so to speak.
I'm currently on my own "vacation" (read: "jumping from one exam to the next while desperately trying find a calm minute to write") and only noticed you here thanks to a tip by a certain somebody ;)
So now what? You gonna stay for a while? Then I might check if I still got your Klonoa sig image on HD somewhere :D
(Edit: Not *that* useful to leave out some of the sillier details when they're still in the two Announcements at the top of this board
Ah well...)

Togashi Wrote:Chibi Renamon then took over. He was an awesome guy and did a great job with things, redesigning the site, fixing problems, helping me set up the current board system, etc.Actually, I wasn't involved in setting up the Board System. I'm member #198 and joined on the board almost two months after you :P
That's as far as I can recall. Last I was here last year, Chibi Renamon was running things. I know he didnt want to take over. He wanted help and didnt want the whole thing piled on him.
