Who the hell is VGM?

Postby golden_sun » Sun Sep 06, 2009 2:55 am

Hi. Some of you know this name, most of you probably don't. If you don't, then don't worry about it. This is a nostalgia thread, so unless you were around years ago, you won't know much (if anything) about it.

Several years ago (2002), I joined these forums and was probably the most immature and most annoying member ever. Obviously I got banned for being such a stubborn troll, but in 2003, for that year's April Fool's Joke, everyone in the forum was known as "golden_sun" for kicks.

Anyways, moving on. I joined a forum called VGCentral back in late 2002 / very early 2003 and most of us were immature 13 & 14 year old kids who took some things a little too seriously. One of the users there was known for spamming several message boards, known as "Lowf". I'm sure some of you remember that name. Well, someone on VGMusic happened to come across this forum, VGCentral and someone made a troll post about hacking the forum with a link pointing to this site. I'm not entirely sure what all went down here, but people from this site were registering and spying on VGCentral and watching as Lowf went nuts and some of his friends were about to go to war or something with VGMusic. Anyways, Lowf registered here and starting spamming I believe and got banned for it. Then he went nuts about it on VGCentral and lulz ensued on both sides afterwards.

I was browsing through an old archive of the site and don't remember much, so out of curiousity, does anyone here remember this and / or remember what actually happened?

Here's a screenshot of the site from back in the day. Don't click on it if you're on dial-up otherwise it'll take a few minutes to load it up at least.

Use an Anonymous style avatar.

Tell everyone who you are.

Apparently you're no smarter than you were back then.

He's still an annoying troll. That "anonymous style avatar" is a picture of me taken in 1998 with a ? pasted over the face.
