Here is a thread where you can post all of the good memories you have of being staff on the dan-ball forums.
I'll start it off. A memory that i have is of the whole "translate the site into Japanese" fiasco
i will post one of my posts from a different thread dedicated solely to this event.

OMG LOL!
That was the biggest disaster!
we were all excited (i think it was like 11:30 at night too. Yeah, we are just awesome like that) then we look at the comments section on the japanese side (where we posted it in the first place) and when translated, every single comment was angry, annoyed, offended by us, or making fun of us.
the root of the problem is the vast differences between the Japanese and english languages. it makes it nigh impossible for a computer program to accurately translate from one to another while keeping the same meaning, tone, and mood of the original intended comment.
I think that the whole thing lasted a few hours, and then it was never brought up again (at least not publicaly. we might laugh about it every once and a while in livechat or the staff lounge.) that is, untill now.
so now you know the story of the japanese translation fiasco.
you should feel honored.
Edit: You see all that fancy language and long words? Well, it typed it all at about 1:15 am on a thursday night. My articularity increases exponentially with the exceeding lateness of the hour. a plethora of exceedingly and superfluously long words enter my cranial region.
btw, i know that you don't know thee meaning of all these words, so google them. Google them ALL. lol

Yea, sorrry for taking it so far, it didn't have much to do with you; it was just humorous. Everybody else was changing names, we just took it a step further. it wasn't because i was mad at you...well, when i changed your name it was but that was when i didn't know that it was a joke, i had just seen in the security log that you had changed my name.
My Sincere Apologies, G
