Jeremiah

Jeremiah, formerly known as Shinje, is a long-time member of OB who is almost universally overlooked. He originally came to OB as Ginyu_Frogz, a reference to Captain Ginyu becoming a frog in Dragonball Z, but he soon grew to actually hate the name. Without a name change option, he decided to leave. He then re-registered a new account in the V4 days under the name Saiyangohan2002. At first, he wanted the name GOHAN, but soon discovered there was already a well-established member called Gohan. He also found out that all caps were considered yelling, and his first choice for the new name, he feared, would have been considered a violation of the rules.

He then used the name, Nuchlear, which was intentionally misspelled so he could get a Hotmail account without random numbers at the end. When he made the mistake of “n00bifying” his name when the first official name change requests began, by choosing “SunRiZe”, he abandoned the account altogether, which served a dual purpose in the “Post Count” thread at the time, that of course being he didn’t care about post status of how many times he had posted.

He then re-registered as ‘s@bretooth’, continuing his trend of poor user names, but quickly settled into a pattern of ‘Shinji’ related names, which initially caused him no end of trouble, due to ‘Shinji’ being the name of one of the people who brought down version 2 of OtakuBoards. He spent a good portion of his early years at OB escaping this stigma.

Jeremiah has been a quiet contributor to OB, rarely embarking on anything large and often being mistaken as new member. He changes his avatar and sig themes almost often as he changes his usernames, and references to obscure pop culture have almost become a trademark of his sig/av sets. Despite his lowkey presence, however, Jeremiah has always watched quietly from the sideline, and his in-depth Otakupedia articles about very early OB phenomena are a testament to this.

Jeremiah is from New Zealand. He looks nothing like Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion.  On  apersonal level, he professes a faith in born-again Christianity, which he tries to demonstrate in his posts.  As a result, Jeremiah is most active in discussions that reflect his beliefs.
