Big Poppa Hump and the Hump Wars Read

The inmates ran the asylum when Big Poppa Hump and his Buddy Christ avatar spread calamity across the forums.  The early part of OtakuBoards history is often characterized by long periods of unchecked back-and-forth flaming, known as “wars.”  “The Hump Wars” became one of the more famous examples of these incidents.  “The Hump Wars” began in May 2001 when a […]

Brasil Read

Alex, aka Brasil, also known as PoisonTongue, Bean, Anime Fangurl, Siren and Papa Smurf, was a member of OtakuBoards from 2003. Brasil was lured to OtakuBoards by his friend Charles by the prospect of good video game discussions, and Rick Hunter’s false success with Rage of the Inferno. Thus his reputation for biting critique and take-no-nonsense […]

On the first day he signed up he masterminded two very unbelievable threads, one being a conversation between himself and Pixie_rich regarding the various magical ways they could meet to play Monopoly. The other suggested that the OtakuBoards URL […]

Shift Read

James made sure to hire only the most capable of programmers for OtakuBoards. Shift (originally Herman Nation) joined OtakuBoards during the V3 period. He was introduced to the forum by Otaku mainstay and real life friend Nerdsy, who immediately regretted that decision. At first, Shift languished in obscurity; he did not stand out in any way and […]

thimoc Read

thimoc was one of the most notable early members of the boards. Having joined during the early months of V1, he quickly made a name for himself with his offbeat (and often nonsensical) humor. After IM_GENGAR had left the board, thimoc found himself with no competition for top poster and subsequently hit nearly every posting […]
