Kids, these days, they grow up so fast!

I was nine actually, and apparently a natural. 8-)
Seriously though, I got some help from my bro starting out, but after that I more or less played by myself. Ah the memories.

EDIT: Who you callin' a kid?!

I've been a fan of the singer King Diamond for quite some time (and still am), and my name is Andre, so at some point my friends made up King Dremond. Haven't been able to shake it, so it stuck...

I based mine upon a book I am writing, called "The House", which is a horror book, I have a cover I am working on for the book which I think looks quite spooky. I have had numerous comments from mates of mine that it is a really wiked cover. If u wanna see it, just ask!

I used to call myself LaceyWare as a pathetic attempt at publicising my website, which was so called because my surname is Lacey and I make software. I got sick of all my forum posts appearing in web searches, so I changed my name to RLacey. This is a particularly imaginative name, as my first name is Robert, and my surname is Lacey.

Everyone could probably have guessed all of this, but I feel that I ought to prove that I read the Chit Chat board

Originally it was for the X-Com e-mail game. I used the name Step-ur-han the Destroyer just because it sounded vaguely alien while being based on my real name, Stephen.

But once I started signing up for things on the net I soon found that registering as "Stephen" would normally result in having to add "nine billion and two" afterwards. Stepurhan, on the other hand has (so far) proven unique and unused. I dropped the hyphens early on (they're awkward to type and I think my eBay ID is the only one to still have them) and have never looked back.

So if you meet a stepurhan elsewhere on the net then there's a pretty good chance it's me.

Well, my name could've very easily been Phil, since I registered first day, but my screen name for just about everything else was Phil25, so I decided to carry it on.

Ummm....Merry Christmas.

Phil25 · 11-07-2004, 05:25 PM

A relic from my last visit here, figure it's close enough to leave it on.

Being at AG just around Christmas seems to pay off. I'll have to try that some day.*

*Actually I'm sortoff really going to, because I'm leaving in January.
