The history of pizzaman179, RiftRipper, Phreak, Monochrome, Ozone, Mista Failure, and ROBiT
Written by said member
I joined around August, 2008. I was Pizzaman179 back then. I was pretty naive, inexperienced in the internet. I had recently figured out how to work the graphics editing software GIMP, which led to me opening a shop. As my graphics skill slowly increased, so did my popularity. I became known as RiftRipper. I was voted Member of the Month, and was soon elected as a Global Moderator. By this time I was Phreak. I advanced to Security admin soon, and became moderator. Soon, because of G's extended absences, I was essentially co-admin. I was offered the position of Graphic Artist, but refused. Soon after, I resigned from staff.
I became known as .oZone, and my forum activity continued. I soon became unstable, flaming and trolling constantly. I was banned a lot on chat. I still had respect, but was quickly losing it. I adopted the alias "Mista Failure" at this point. I watched my 12 hard earned karma quickly descend into the double-digit negatives. I was now warned and banned constantly. I was respected by few, and disliked by much of the staff. I was now causing drama, being stupid and "leaving" the forum a few times. I soon became inactive for random stretches of time, pissing off the forum in-between. Until just recently, I was likely on the edge of a longer period of being banned. I am now trying to reduce my anger and arguments. Trying to earn back what I once was. Trying to lose the idiocy. Trying to get me back.
Say what you want about this, but writing this has really made me realize how screwed up I've been. I feel a lot calmer and controlled after writing this.
EDIT: also, if I got some facts wrong, or I missed something important, feel free to notify me about it.
