Well, I was here from WAY before I joined - about 8 months. I would read the competitions that were going on, which was a time when C&B2 was in its sign-up stages and Mechanical Noise was drawing to a close and when.

I knew that Robot Wars was never coming back, but i was entralled by the writing and English skills used here (I used to write Doctor Who stories for a TimeLord forum, but involentarily left after a mishap) and decided to join. I proberbly got fed up of just reading these fights and not getting the chance to write and make competitions of my own. So after a few weeks of nagging my mum to let me join (I hadnt joined a forum since the Doctor Who thing), I joined.
