Mine is a story from the beginning. Back at the old, black, ancient GT forums I was known as skELUMton. My very first post (which was not too long before Abe's Exoddus came out) was asking what a Greeter looked like. I remember the likes of Niteowl, George T. Gimp and that's all.
Renovations made the forums a lot simpler to use, but usage went down. When the forums became the Infogrames forums, they went almost dead. I simply asked where everyone was, and they replied 'the Exoddus Forum'.
The place is a private Yahoo club and is still around today, though with not as much activity there. I still go, under the name of billy_squeek. I stayed for I don't know how long, but an argument between Sydney and I-can't-remember-who left the place in shock. Sydney started his own forums, I decided to take a look, and became a regular - Max the Meetle. My high knowledge of everything Odd gave me the nickname The Oddworld Dictionary.
Several transitions later, my name has stayed pretty similar, as it is now Max the Mug (someone fed me meat). I semi-regularly attend OddChat under the moniker of Worry Fish.
I haven't read the forums history topic. I can't say I noticed it. I'd like to have a goosey and see what it says about the amazingly early days before I joined. Is it in Off-Topic, I presume?
