Hey. I'mma document here everything I can remember. So stay calm, or something.

Actual Internet!

I actually started on the Intarwebz when I was a kid, about 9. I wandered into a completely random chatroom from some client that I can't remember a thing about. I chatted with "Chaos_Hedgie", then I left because I had school, and couldn't remember how the heck to get back there.

Moving on

I stopped using the net after I lost what was fun to me, that being chatting in random chatrooms. I couldn't do this because the server broke for something, probably locally in my area, and I couldn't access half of the internet. I played Sonic and Mario games during this time, and such.

IRC!

I went to this place called The ParaSonic Competition Center, which at the time was only a mere site that Jolt135 linked me to from GameFAQs (This was about 5 months after the internet came back up for me). At the time, it was only a little page where you posted your best SA times. I ranked about 3rd there, but then other people joined, I was getting behind on practice, and I failed and fell way down to somewhere in the 40th range. Then, the place became The Sonic Center, and SA2 came out. At this time, I ran, bought the game, and mastered and beat it in a week. I had over 3/4 of the best times on that game, and a few of them still stand at the present time. What does this have to do with IRC, you ask? Well, when the Sonic Center site was made, SprintGod made a chatroom. I went there, and it happened to be AccessIRC, which is my home network to this present day. I chatted there, with my "formarfan" nick. The TSC chatroom used one of those "randomcharacters.randomcharacters.randomcharacters.randomcharacters.IP" systems, so I could change to a random nick and no one recognized me because they didn't bother to check it. I used the nick "MGraffiti" occasionally. Then, when I started using "SuperMarioBros", I quote: "<Rolken> Gerbil, this isn't #srb2fun" At the sound of a channel I hadn't been to, I wandered off there.

#srb2

At the time, #srb2fun wasn't much, but it did have an ad for #srb2 on that network. I went there, and there were a few people there, including BlueJinjo and NeoGenGamer, who I doubt even remember this SuperMarioBros character. I also wandered to other random channels. Around this time, I began using the word "random" a lot, so I registered #random. I grabbed a few people from #soniccenter including SuperSonic101, Rolken, flyby, and CherryMay and flew off there.

The bad times

I had also been to #sonicstadium. I grabbed a few people there too. Little did I know, The Sonic Center and The Sonic Stadium were rivals. It got really bad when I had to watch sparks fly as Rolken, the founder of TSC, and Joshu, founder of TSS, met in my channel. They banned me from their channels, along with #msn and #hugs which were side channels for TSC and TSS, respectively. This sucked. I couldn't do much. Then, I discovered that the name #srb2 didn't mean nothing. >_>

SRB2

I googled Sonic Robot List with Pictures, and once, I accidentally forgot the "t" in Robot, which led to "Sonic Robo List with Pictures". I got Sonic Robo Blast 2, which was srb2.org. I quickly downloaded it, along with every character addon from the Addons section with my lightning-quick connection. I also went to #srb2fun on EsperNet when I saw how to get there from the main site. I didn't visit the forums until quite a bit later.

Meanwhile...

I still couldn't do much on mIRC, considering #soniccenter had moved to SurrealChat, and #sonicstadium just faded away. Only sit in #random poking around with scripts with GodofGames, Hanna, britt, and n8. Then, I read JTE's internet documentary thing on the forums. I saw all those little channel names! On AccessIRC! How this saved my life! I went to #Talias_Sanctuary, #MK, #JTEsHouse, and #MimirusHome. Most of the channels I go to now have something to do with those. I was so happy. I quickly befriended all the channel owners (except Mimiru who doesn't talk much anymore), being Talia and MK (I'd already chatted with MK on numerous occasions). I also found #TAKIS, #DeathByPixel, and #SRB2JTE on EsperNet. I could chat with just about anyone in the state I was in now. It was relief. Yeah...then Hanna, britt, and n8 left. It sucked, but then I started working on a script. Not just any script, but I'm talking about BSP script. The Battle System Protocol (dubbed at that time just "battle game") was the best script I'd ever made. I then made numerous other scripts, deleted all the scripts I hadn't made myself, and started working again. Using what Hanna and Jrom had told me and new knowledge from Hikari, Flame, and Shadow45X, I began to create a little collage (sp?) of scripts. It was fun! Although most of them were useless, once Catelite came with her scripts, I began to think 'Hm...Catelite's scripts do all kinds of little things, like mine. If she has fun scripts using that, then so do I!'. I realized that I didn't think the scripts were fun because I made them and they bored me, but everyone else did. Everyone at #Pwn3d777's_area wanted my scripts. I then promised everyone at #Pwn3d777's_area that they could have a ! command system, which evolved over time into Pwn3dBot. At this time, I had my ChaosHedgie bot almost fully working. PSOBot was perfect, but underused.

Yesh!

Well, here I am now, lucky that I found SRB2, otherwise I would be nothing. Big thanks to JTE and Talia. Well, see you around!
