[kupoartist]

1. before PS2 fantasy I was on FFOnline mostly.. aside from that there were various game related forums where Isimply browsed as a guest, because I was intrested in a game (relicnews - homeworld for instance)

2. I came here after seeing Nanjij and JC Denton on at school, and only really registered when I felt I needed to point out that an FFXII shot was in fact a fake (yes, in the full "artist-supercow" style you know so well) - this led to Liquidsmoke, a "Squaresoft employee" (ie. he wasn't one) getting banned (I still remember these things )... It all went on from there really, because I decided to stick around for all the nice people who I saw, and then I became scared of the "massive" FFonline forum...

3. Strictly speaking "No" - If it wasn't for these forums, I probably would have never got a PS2, or even began to try to justify calling myself "the_artist"... when i've paided nothing for this oppurtunity, i feel mega-fufilled - I even get Private Messages! no-one ever messaged me before now!
