What's your MGSF story?

[Aragorn]

Nice to hear that I suckered you both in, Jass & Bread  

 I think I even got into an argument with Gene at one point over My Little Pony which was fucking stupid of me. Gene, if you remember what it was about, I'm sorry and I harbour no ill will towards you

You mean to tell me I've been sharpening my knife all this time for nothing?!?

Nah to be honest dude if we did ever argue it's long gone from my memory now! Was I pro or anti pony at that point though? A strange time.

I signed up to MGSF in 2007 when I was 13. Because I was excited for MGS4 and wanted to get as much information about it as I could before it's release. Made a few posts, never understood MGS2 until I had it properly explained to me in a thread I made, I'm sure. Applied for MGC and got rejected, of course. Applied for Night Ops after and got accepted . Lurked around in there for a while and got bored and decided to make Foxhound, just inviting any name to get that magical 15 members initially. But we got there eventually



Had no clue about graphics, running a community or anything really until I started foxhound, so I can thanks MGSF & Foxhound for unlocking my average photoshop skills anyway! I did enjoy my days learning photoshop and creating graphics etc. Got known as the spam org because we had an active private forum haha. Then Nate joined and helped us steer ourselves in the right direction and engaging with the forum as a whole. Enjoyed our nights doing Podcasts but absolutely hated editing them after. I was glad when A Big Crocodile said he'd take over doing it (is anyone in contact with him by the way, or is he here?). I was dead proud when we eventually won best organisation though, the shitty org I started when I was 13 had become a 'serious org'. 

Become a moderator of off topic first, and later a global moderator. Always enjoyed my time as a mod tbf the free blowj staff forum and fellow staff were always superb though. 

I started to go inactive once I started work at 21. I struggled to look at the forum on my phone and just started going on the computer less until one day I logged on and didn't see a soul and it been taken over by ads. 

Since then I've worked a few different job around construction, working on site as a plumber and in the office for a bit, but currently I'm off work to renovate my house which I bought in 2023. Looking to do something different jobwise once it's all complete but don't know what yet.

MGSF Holds a special place for me, I'd spend endless hours just chatting to so many great folks, and more endless hours learning photoshop and audacity (neither of which I use now mind you) I'm convinced MGSF was the reason I went from bottom set to second set English in secondary school.

I remember when you started doing plumbing you had the sickest jacket with like built in gloves and I've been chasing something similar ever since.
