Topic	Introducing - the Current Events Hall of Fame.
Sunhawk 04/08/20 7:46:18 AM #1:	This board, Current Events, has existed for 20 years now. A long, long time. It has had many posters - thousands - and hundreds of those were considered regulars. or semi-regulars. Of course, some posters stuck out more than others. Sometimes, this was for good reasons, sometimes, it was for very bad reasons. This is the difference between famous and infamous. We've had people who were funny, strange, annoying, rage-inducing, intelligent, obsessive, and entertaining. I, Sunhawk, have decided to compile a list of the 30 most memorable posters we have ever seen, into the Current Events Hall of Fame. Various biographical information will be given. Their main username, a numbered code, the approximate time period they posted during (although some of these users are still active), and their main alternate account or identity. Each of these people was or is a real character, larger than life, in some way. Some are remembered fondly. some are remembered with strong dislike - and some aren't really remembered at all. Times change. Most of these users in the Current Events Hall of Fame are male, although some are female, and many of the women made the strongest mark of all. Most, now, are in their thirties. People have grown up (for the most part). Also note that the order people are listed in is NOT an order of how memorable or important they were. The order is largely random. So, without further ado, on with the list. Did YOU make the cut? User - mrduckbear ID - 01 Active period - 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s Main alternate - Full Throttle The legendary, extremely durable, possibly infamous, duckbear. This poster has been around since the early days of the board. He has been known for a number of things. His Buddhist religion, arguing constantly with people, his obsessive love of animals (especially creepy crawlies), posting tabloid-style clickbait topics, and making YouTube videos. This has certainly been an entertaining user over the years. He used to engage with people, but now largely makes a topic, and never returns. He has the dubious honour of his previous main account, mrduckbear3, being banned on three occasions - the third being final. Has generally had more enemies than friends over the years, but has never stopped being well-known on this board. User - The Admiral ID - 02 Active period - 2010s Main alternate - none This user certainly went through a big development arc. From humble beginnings as unknown user, to respected moderator, to a regular user who trolled almost constantly, and eventually, a man who was banned. Quite the journey. Ironically, it wasn't The Admiral's tenure as staffmember for the boards that made him most well-known, but rather, the constant moderations which took an awfully long time to get him kicked off the board. User - Bluemonk ID - 03 Active period - 2010s, 2020s Alternate - TheBlueMonk This user is known for one thing, and one thing only - his obsession with South Korea. Nobody knows quite how this obsession started, but EVERYONE knows about it. Bluemonk is largely fixated on the band Girls' Generation, also known as SNSD, but to a lesser extent, beautiful South Korean girls, and the culture and history of the same country. User - Kritikal ID - 04 Active period - early to mid 2000s Alternate - Faster Kritikal was one of the early regulars on CE. He was generally considered a cool and interesting guy, who would sometimes leap to the defence of friends in times of trouble, but more than anything, he was known as a very gifted CounterStrike gamer. When the board got together to play on their CS server, the infamous ISH, Kritikal almost always won the matches. For a long time, people wanted him removed from the server, for being "too good", and this led to many arguments and a few bitter fights, but in the end, he was allowed to remain. Kritikal last posted at some point in the mid 2000s, and it is unknown was has become of him. A good poster. User - BigNutsIsBack ID - 05 Active period - late 2010s - 2020s Alternate - none He is a reasonably popular user, who posts regularly on the board. Known for a his intelligent and interesting topics and posts, BigNutzIsBack seems to have very few enemies on Current Events. Unlike many people, he hardly ever trolls or starts arguments. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. <cite>Sunhawk posted [p:936997526] in Introducin... [t:78556802]...</cite> <quote>This board, Current Events, has existed for 20 years now. A long, long time.
