I started posting on the vault network when a friend of mine linked to the Horizon boards while we were playing Everquest in the Fennin Ro server. I registered soon after way back in November 1999, I was posting mostly on the Horizon boards, I remember Bonk back then and a ton of other people, Bonk and I where head to head in posts per day back then, I would have beaten him too if I hadn't become a mod back in 2001.
I got made a mod by Ulari the Horizon vault site manager after I told him in a PM that he needed a moderator because the boards where ****. there was no application no test, no nothing, just a "Damn it Ulari make me a moderator you need one." "okay let me do it real quick"
Horizon vault site back then was kicking, we where outposting the Dark age of Camelot Community board (outpost.) and the asherons call community board (what became ACF), we were number one or close to it. Hell VN was number one board wise across the internet for gaming. Then came the slow decline, we got bought we got sold snowball and whoever else, ign came in and told everyone strict rule enforcement.
I always felt I killed the Horizon boards following that edict. power corrupts and all.
Didn't help Horizons sucked without my friends playing and the game was a mess ( I really did like the game until my friends stopped playing then I wasn't having fun.) So I moved to Moderating the World of Warcraft community forum but it wasn't holding it's attention to me, went to mod ACF, for awhile it was good, but then I basically was alone when the other mods there got busy with life, and it got to me, had a slight meltdown stopped modding acf and came to the Outpost!
I was told to have a loose rein with the Outpost don't mod them as much, let the personal attacks slide. Gotta say you guys are awesome. Some of you have been posting almost as long as I have, some of you remember the original Vault Network boards.
You guys have been great, I hope to see most of you on the IGN side, looks like I'm going to be moderating the IGN board. over 10 years volunteering as a moderator. crazy. It's been fun!

Dear Diary,
I poured my heart and soul into an internet forum post about my humble beginnings as an upstart VN Horizons moderator and the wacky direction that life choice took me. I was troubled to find out that no one gave a crap. The Outpost sucks. /Facestab

I could have had an earlier registration but I mostly posted at the original main Asheron's Call boards (Council of Dereth or something). But they eventually screwed up the boards to get more ad revenue or something so I finally broke down and made an account here.
Later on, **** was released so I posted on these boards for it. In the early days, there wasn't a separate off-topic board for the game so all sorts of OT posts were on the main board, but I guess enough people complained so the Outpost was created.

You were pretty good to us, Lyndrek. Not as awesome as Afio, but most weren't so it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Lyndrek, I didn't like you for the first while, not one iota.
Then you adapted like a normal Outposter to some degree of humanity (for here).
Having said that, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!
