I'm not. Though I used to be apparently (probably for posting a ridiculous number of posts a day in a time before that meant `reaching 20000 posts in a week').

My magnificent body mainly, it has to be said.

Or fucking hating Michael fucking Bay, that odious killer of films who should be tied to a tree and then have his nostrils filled with the piss of a thousand sloths.

I doubt I'm known for much, although I've been around for a bit and made quite a few posts. Maybe having a Clint Eastwood avatar, but that's pretty minor. Really, I'm just a dull bastard.

Hmm, I don't really think I'm known for much. Atleast I'm nowhere near celebrity status, I'm more like some lowly peasant who likes to take long walks, but keeps to the shadows. In..a way. Hmph.

Anyway, maybe my avatar?

I am such an utterly forgettable person...

Fuck all probably.

Despite having been here a little longer than some (not all obviously) I don't really have the post count to back it up. It amazes me that people like Furburt can have over 20,000 post in less than a year! The lad's a posting machine!

I suppose if anything I'm probably the grumpy English bloke with a penchant for getting frustrated with teenagers arguing about music because it reminds me of what a knob I was when I was their age.

Sadly I'm probably known as 'that homo from Australia'. I suppose I shouldn't make reference to my sexuality in my posts so much. Oh well.

I doubt I'm really known and if I am its as "Whats its face from... you know thingy" but oh well that is what I get for mostly lurking.

IF I'm known for anything it's probably the Jack Russell Terrier in the sombrero.
And you know what? That's enough.

I doubt that I'm well-known.

If I am known for anything, it's probably just for attempting to put effort into what I write and generally being a helpful person on the site. I've been thanked a lot for being helpful, though, from doing various things. Here's a short list of threads which I have been thanked on that I don't have to scroll through my 5000+ posting history to find:

[/ul]

That's not a full list of the things which I have been thanked for, I just can't be bothered to find any others as those are simply the ones I have bookmarked.

Aside from those users and others who recognise me on these forums, the most well-known thing I've done is my status as an Offical Badge Hunter [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapist-Badge-Hunters] (despite not being too avid a badge hunter) and being, to quote another user, 'the rare kind of person who seems to go through the intelligence-using process before going through the opinion-giving part'.



It was more recognisable, and I got more compliments for it.

It's from The Escapist's video series Doomsday Arcade [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/doomsday-arcade], Episode 22 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/doomsday-arcade/1221-Episode-22] to be exact. A guy made a thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.178680-Poll-Doomsday-Arcade-Discussion-Avatars#5186821] with various avatars for the series in it, since the series is coming to an end.

Well i'm not that known on the main site, But i'm a common lurker on the #escapist irc. I guess i'm famous as the crazy viking around there.

Oh and for having one of the most awesome avatars ever? Thanks to Fanboy for that!
