Having been visiting the pav for over five years now, it seems very odd to be making an introduction topic for myself, but here I am!
In the past years I've been mostly busy with helping out the mag, and haven't exercised the opportunity to become a regular member here as well. (Though I have lurked, and posted the occasional front-page update, as well as a thread comment here and there)
Anyway, I'm Feros, a third year Information Technology Major. A lot of you who may not visit the mag might not know me (well), hence this introduction topic.
Warning: Brief History of my involvement in the RPG Maker Community Below
I entered the RPG Maker Scene in late 2002 when I stumbled upon the RPG Maker Pavilion. I signed up for the forums as 'RPG2002.' As you can tell I was EXCEPTIONALLY creative at the time. :P The garden had just closed, and a new site, the Magazine, had just started. RPG2284 (Ixzion), the creator of the mag was soliciting members of the pavilion to join his staff as reviewers. I applied, and surprisingly was brought on board. I learned later that the only reason I was 'hired' was because I was the only applicant.
After some turbulence at the outset caused by failing computer hardware, I remained a loyal Mag reviewer for several years. When the then head-reviewer, Altoecko stepped down, Ixzion offered me the position of head reviewer. A little over a year later, I was promoted to second-in-command of the Mag, as the Head of Site Apprentice, and shortly thereafter, the Vice Head of Site. I stepped down as the Mag VHoS recently due to a heavy workload in real life between my job and school.
So rest assured that though I may not have posted a great deal at the pav in the past, but at the same time I am also not a complete n00b. :P
I look forward to becoming much more active here, and can't wait to get to know those of you I haven't met at the Mag a lot better.
