How did you end up finding Board2? Share the websites you progressed through that led you here.

I started when my brother played a game from Newgrounds, Alien Hominid to be specific. It was in an .SWF format and off the browser. I clicked the tank icon and poof, I'm hooked to Newgrounds. I bopped on there for many years on several rereg accounts (regretting some of the experiences and etc. Also, someone already took my username) Then, Youtube struck.

I went there and saw This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFtHNV6vfi4. After looking at some of his videos, I stumbled across a Fraxy video he made. I googled Fraxy, got it, made a few videos, and boom. Jpteeto subscribed to me and I find his Fraxy Compendium site.

I enjoyed his site, met CrosstheRubicon, Nightkev, Bukkarooo, Al69, AT0M1C, and many other well known contributors. When Nightkev found a potential attack weakness, the Compendium was abandoned and the Redux was set up...

I bopped on the Redux only for a short while, because Genericboard caught my eye. I went there, met Marzen, Kironide, Arbe, Boing, and a hell lot of other people. When the board exploded into a million fragments, I find Board2.

Basically from the parent board. I was on Acmlm's Board since its first incarnation, went through its death, knew about this board since its inception, but I had refused to register until a certain band of thugs left. That's pretty much it.

Brother learned about ROMS --> TEK Rom Hacking Community --> Romendo Boards --> (Several places during Romendo, 019 boards, the old Acmlm, my own board.) --> Ice Board --> Generic Board (switched to mostly IRC chatting at this point, fewer boards I go to)--> Board 2.

The only one that's still up is Ice Board . And it's inactive. I've been a refugee for a long time xD. I learned about TEK by looking up ROMS for download when I was, like, 9. I was a total noob back then, got banned. Though It's nice to note that out of all of these boards, the only ones I weren't staff at were TEK and Board 2.

OH THE GOOD OL' DAYS.

Google "Level Editor" -> Zophar's Domain -> Incarnation 1

I registered in I1 (with a different username), but I lost my account after that one idiot deleted half of the users. I reregistered a couple years later or so on I2, and have pretty much stayed with the community since.

I lurked for about a year or so two incarnations ago, I'm somewhere around four years now. I originally found the board after googling "Lunar Magic". Though this was long before smwcentral, which made things too commercial...

Googling something related to Secret of Mana and level editing -> FuSoYa's niche -> Lunar Magic -> I1 SMW Hacking. Then following the path through the incarnations and ABII here.

I still wonder what I would be doing now had I not found this board back then and decided to stick around.

Let's see...

I started in Stickpageportal forums doing animations. From there, someone made a FRAXY thread, and I was addicted to FRAXY. That was where I met Evan20000 and made the FRAXY Trials. Google'd FRAXY and many related items, leading to finding the wiki. That led to one of the Freewebs forums that failed. From the wiki, I went to Genericboard, my new home.

Then Genericboard died, sending me off to nowhere. I really didn't want to come to this new, strange and scary place. But I did, and here I am.

Bebo->Viddler->Youtube->FuSoYa's Niche->SMW Central->Board2


I went a long way...
I've changed a lot since then...
I've learned to use Lunar Magic better, I've learned to sound more mature, and my attitude has really changed...

My friends on Bebo kept posting Viddler videos, so I registered for an account on Viddler. On Viddler, I came across videos that said Youtube at the bottom, so I registered on Youtube. Then, I came across Mario ROM hacks. I had always wanted to make my own game...So I downloaded Lunar Magic. I didn't understand it, so I searched for some help, and I cam across SMW Central. After about three months at SMW Central, I hear about this place...So I finally registered.

I come from the Net. Through systems, people, and cities, to this place, Board 2...

COUGH

I came to generic board via the Fraxy wiki. Around a month after I joined, NightKev (according to him, Arbe) shut down Generic board, and I came over here after a bit.

I ran into Acmlm's ROM Hack Domain (how I got there, I remember not) long ago when it was called that & had an orange background. I played Strange Mario Bros. 1 & 2 & Strange Mario World a little bit. Then I forgot about it for a long time. Then one day I decided I wanted to play Strange Mario World again, but instead of finding it I ended up here.

You... You want to know why I'm here? How the man you call Stark came to be? It's a long journey, friend. Are you sure you can stick with it? I know there's several times when I wasn't sure that I could. He had psychic powers. But I'll tell you it all.

It all began way back at the ends of the fourth world war in 1982. Robot Hitler's robot minions were trashing the city... I was just a child then, the tender age of ten. But the resistance had been falling, and I had to do something. I grabbed my supergrandfather's plasma rifle, and I discharged it wildly into the opposing crowd. Recoil knocked me over, of course, but I managed to accomplish something no one expected... My rocket launcher aiming skyward as I fell, I fired, and struck down Robot Hitler in his stealth helicopter, just as he was making his way towards the center of the city to perform a victory by coup. As Robot Hitler hit the ground, he bounced into all of his troops, knocking them over and exploding them one by one. Also, then he exploded.

I was hailed as the greatest hero since Jack Fightmaster back at the end of the eighth world war, back in 1521. But it wouldn't last. As quickly as Robot Hitler fell, a new villain came into being. His name was Kyouji Craw, and he had psychic powers. This was in 1999, and I had grown to the tender age of 18. Unlike Super Stalin before him, Kyouji Craw needed no army. He was his own army. He had psychic powers. No army stood up to him. He had psychic powers.

We organized a secret task force to secretly breed a group of super soldiers. It was all we had. Most died in infancy, but we had one great hope. His name was Billy. He bravely went into battle. Unfortunately, Kyouji Craw... He had psychic powers. And so, we were crushed. He had psychic powers. He had psychic powers. What could we do against that? There's only one thing we could do. We could send in the greatest hero since Jack Fightmaster back at the end of He had psychic powers. What could we do against that? There's only one thing we could do. We could send in the greatest hero since Jack Fightmaster back at the end of the eighth world war, back in 1521. And so, I went in alone... We were at a standstill. I had my invulnerability. He had psychic powers. I was absolutely certain that I couldn't kill him. However, I was wrong, and then he died. He died at my hands. He had psychic powers.

But killing him only brought out the real enemy, the enemy who was giving him strength. Alastor. Alastor the Stylish. A demon. It was a demon, named Alastor the Stylish, the demon. The demon Alastor the Stylish was quite a demon indeed, and it took me a long time to kill him, but then I did. In doing so, I saved sunshine forever. Did you know that it was me that saved sunshine? It's my sunshine now. I am its king.
