Whee! Teh Pilot's back!
EDIT: Formerly known as AlphaScrab, btw :P

Wow, I've never been called "The Pilot" before, I'm very honored.

But did Super Mod not used to be what became Global Mod, which became Admin? So you were the same thing under a different name, I think.
|
Well yes then in that string of logic I suppose I was just an admin in everything but title, as I remember the "Super Mod" rank at that time was pretty much wide open as far as managing forum options and all that.

Sydney was the guiding mind behind Oddworld, OWF, and the fandom as a whole. She touched us all in some invisible, indescribable way. She died for what she believed in, so that true warriors like you and I could survive.

Bender,
What the
hell? what does that even mean, we're trying to demystify the past, not maek it more asinine! GAWD some people...... lol
But really, Sydney was the original creator of the Oddworld Forums back in the Late 1990s- originally OWF started out one one of those 'Freebie' sites; EZBoard if my memory serves me. The choice was made to move away from Qu-EZBoard when it got packed full of ads. Sydney was just an avid fan really, made some fanart which I may or may not still have (hmm...)
Sydney, during his tenure as Administrator simply decided he wanted to be a woman and apparently, by the time I found out, had been taking female hormones for a while. (Although its more likely that he wanted this for a time well exceeding beyond the beginning of OWF...) He was a very private person, so pics of him were hard to come by.... but one of the last pics I saw of him was the evidence, as you could tell there were already some major changes going on just by looking at her face. (I switch to "her" now as it was quite evident by this point.) Near the end... and I say "end" because she had already been forced away from OWF and it was also about the time I "left"... over on the Glass Asylum I saw she had a title "Queen Sydney". Someone else here can undoubtedly correct any aspects I may not have put clearly....
