    Hey guys,

    This interview will clear up alot of question you had about BFTP!
    Most of these questions will be awnsered it this interview! I hope you guys enjoy it, and BFTP thanks for your time!

    Bratzer


    Hey duder, how are you today?

    bored, lol

    So whos on the other side of this convo?

    BFTP, proud staff member of the month :P or "Andrew".

    BFTP... sounds like some kind of illness. How did you come up with that name?

    lol. BFTP stands for Back From The Past; when i use to 3d model, it was the name I gave myself, since i preferred modeling "older" things like castles, weapons, etc.

    aah, okay now that makes sense ;)

    Since BackFromThePast is kind of long, i shortened it to BFTP to create an new alias for GR...now all advertisers fear my name.

    hehehe :D

    So you were a 3d modeler before you got into your other addict?


    yes, I was doing 3d modeling for quite some time. At such 3d communities as: cybertown.com, oddessey.org, vrdimension.com, etc. These sites actually gave you an chance to explore gigantic 3d worlds, similar to Runescape but 100x more better quality, and lifelike. It also gave you the chance to upload and sell your work, via 3d malls they had. I was just as rich at these sites, as I am at GameRenders now ;)

    When my computer couldn't handle 3d modeling anymore, 128 mb just doesn't cut it now adays, i ventued to other activities and found Invision Power Board..and GameRenders by Daz, an well known critic of website templates at GR

    Yeh :) Any chance you can show us some of your 3d stuff?

    You would need to subscribe at the above mentioned sites, and have the 3d software "blaxxun3d" in order to view them

    sorry=/

    lol, no problem ;)

    So after the 3d came..the invisionboards what on earth is so great about them?


    Just take an look around GameRenders I originally came to GameRenders for an few renders, as i said, from Daz's word. I wasn't that active, and this was around the time i begun to get interested in IPB. I realized GameRenders was IPB and quickly became active. Whats so great about Invision boards? I like the feeling of helping others create an unique site, or get their own site. I like the ability to see all these people active at GameRenders, and the different stuff you can do to make your board better
    The first modification i tried to install was the arcade :P ruined my board like 4 times, but eventually got it working every time

    so, now we know pretty much of the person we call BFTP on the forum, but who is andrew?

    21 almost 22 year old businessman :P I work out of an office at home, doing 401k plans & payrolling. I schedule my own meetings with clients, and try not to schedule anything before 10:00 am. I enjoy movies, especially action, war, and superheroes(SPIDER MAN!) and live an hour away from the beaches, and an hour away from skiing in the mountains, outside of L.A., California.

    aah, sounds very nice :P

    So your into surfing and snowboarding? :D


    I tried alittle snowboarding, and i'm more of an nude beach over surfing myself :P I would rather go play alittle rugby/american football..or basketball.

    Nude beach..sounds nice :D But i always have the impression the are only 50yo whales overthere..

    you are interviewing me and dis my women?? The ladies are very nice here, and in California they always have nice legs & an tan!

    lol..yeh..so with all those nice women..How is the casanova in you doing?

    lol, i am officially whipped by an woman, and thats all i'm saying to that ;)

    Wokay, not going into that topic :D

    So were going on to some question by the public


    This next questions were by Ghost:

    How did you get so many frikking credits?

    lmfao, I made my first 10,000 credits off Invision Power Board work. I was running an IPB shop and had alot of customers, etc. Everytime someone offered credits for an IPB job, my name was, and still is mentioned first on who to contact...
    I got my first big IPB job with Hazegfx, 2,100 credits to fix an error on their board by EddieD.
    I got paid by Nica-CX to work on New Order Studios; 4,200 credits..
    Sensi & I bought jessi boi's credits for $25 USD; 22,000 credits. We split them in half, and sold em to make an even bigger profit of money. I recently bought Pegasus' account for $160 dollars; splitting the cost with Ghriffin, an good friend.
    That came with 18,500 credits...and i've sold his 242 PSDs for around 9,000 credits in less then 24 hours. I am selling 20,000 credits for $210 USD, the money is already on its way to me. Also selling 10,000 credits for $75 USD, tis weekend over paypal..
    So i will be very broke soon.

    'R'Us empire...netted us around 7,000 credits...we end up selling the shops for $30 USD via paypal as well

    Wow, very nice dude, there is a real buissnes man in you :D. I think you are one of the first who actually bought and sold things for real cash!

    Yes, i find it funny when people say credits aren't worth an dime. I have bought around 3 or 4 domain names via the Marketplace, and now the auction room. I am the one that started the "auction" fad when i bought an PSD from eagle_eye/kracker boy for 315 credits. Less then half an hour later, there were 17 PSD auctions, and its been an trend every since. On top of domain names, i have obviously sold credits for cash, and bought random things everywhere from 2 PC games to 3,000 credits, and a winning bottle cap for 350 credits:P

    I think that was a nice awnser yto his question! Lets get on with the next one!This one is from zelink:

    how do you put up with certain people?

    Aspirin.

    what do you look lke in person?

    Tall..6'5..dark hair, brown eyes, built like an texan..my shoulders especially!

    like a texan..that means your thin and have nu muscles like bush?

    be glad i can't suspend fellow staff members ...no an texan is built strong, to last long. Bush is a great president, and though i do not always agree with everything he has done, i can honestly say i'm proud to be an american. I would rather have an president like bush, that acted strong towards the nightmare and horror of 9/11. If Kerry would have won, i would have joined the Brits overseas :P

    Okay, wont go into a politacal discussion ;)

    lmfao, you'll lose...its in my blood

    lol, wokay, i think were at the end of the interview, thank you vey much for your time!

    Thanks for not askin' me to many hard questions ;)

    Are there any words of wisdom you would like to say to the readers, or anything you would like to add?

    PINNED TOPICS. SEARCH BUTTON. GOOGLE. Those are my words of wisdom. The moderators try their best at GameRenders, and i find it sad when people say this site "is going to hell." or "getting worst every time i come." Those comments do not help towards the development of making GR better, have some pride, and give some input. We have an Problems & Suggestions forum, use it! We are always looking for ways to help make GameRenders more fun for everyone, and keep it going

    Very nice word dude ;) And i agree 100%!
