Who am I?
I'm a 33–34 year-old Englishman. I mainly do behind the scenes stuff like anti-vandalism. When I have the time, inclination, and resources, I improve articles on my favourite video games.
What's with the number?
The usernames I wanted were all used or too similar to existing names. As I'm no good at thinking up names, I had to come up with something that "identified" me in a way without actually identifying me, if that makes any sense.
Why is this page so colourful and gay?
To (hopefully) make a nice change from the usual mono-coloured backgrounds found on almost every other page. It certainly makes a change from the previous colours (when this page was a complete mess) anyway. I also like bright and colourful things in real life.

Way to keep your cool in the face of the outrageously blatant tantrum above. The speedy and PROD nominations were both clearly invalid, and you were unambiguously in the right here. Way to go! VQuakr (talk) 02:13, 24 March 2016 (UTC) |
