Joined early '06, started to learn how to make sigs. took breaks everyone month or so but this year i've been starting to slowly pick up and be active.
I"ve been registered for a while, but I rarely visit GR. I grew up on a forum called IFSkinZone though... they just recently changed their name to ZetaBoards Theme Zone.
I joined here in mid 2004 (July 15th I believe) and was 16. I became the first sectional mod as the battle forum moderator, in charge of battle stats (old GR) I opened Shard-Design in October 2004 and became sD-Dark [how most people knew me]. I was also at this time promoted to Global Mod as Sensi simply wasn't enough to handle the entire forum with just he and Llama. I was the second global mod and put in charge (with sensi) in helping joe recruit a few more mods. This is when G70 and Bratzer and a few others came on board and we built GR's stepping stones of becoming an even better and bigger community. I at one point in early 2006 got into a fight with a poster and ended up resigning as GMod. I posted until late 2006 when I joined the Army and have posted on and off since then. I learned a lot about people and responsibilities from my time on GR, so I've definitely grown up in age and as a person on GR.
I came to GR a few years ago as a newbie sig designer and eventually got into rendering and have released 3 free packs to date. Pretty much it. Can't add anything until I make mod.
