I only joined to get the scoop on the upcoming RM product, RMXP, to take back to my own forums. I posted here and there, but nothing special. I don't know what changed, but one day I became really active. And like any time I get active on a forum, I got drafted for staff. ':| First Support Team (since something like 99% of my posts were in the support forums, since I was an RM oldbie and already understood events, and my programming background put me ahead of the pack in scripting), then mod, then gmod.
And then Erk said he needed my help, so I ended up helping run the place, and then somebody had to save the forum from [reverb]impending doom[/reverb] so here I am as co-owner.
I was a lot happier as just a member. But somebody's got to do the job and be the person everyone hates.
