Name: Ashley Owen
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Occupation: Student
Your Website (if any): www.footballgfx.net
What you enjoy doing for fun: Football. Any Sports that interest me, include Boxing, Rugby etc. Also enjoy Graphics Design, and spending time with my friends!
Your favorite website to visit (you don't have to own it): www.throw-in.com
Guilty pleasure: Whoa, well, depends. Possibly getting inspired by peoples work and duplicating that until I realize it's wrong. - Not really a pleasure but I find it funny that I wasted my time doing it in the first place! Still, I get alot of experience from doing this because I always find my own ways of new techinques etc.
Any juicy details of your life that we can taunt you for: Juice? well, between the age of 0-15 I'd never actually kissed a girl before. I' know you'll love this little bit of information about my so, called, 'love life' UC, because this reveals me as the not 'so big' stud anymore eh love? .. Taunt me and you die.
Will try to restrain myself. Alright, you knew this one was coming, and I hate to be boring... but why exactly did you decide to make SSD?
Hah to be honest I don't even remember. Let me think...Oh yeah! I remember culda had a forum of his own providing Graphics and such for proboards...and I remember checking his members, he had like a 100 or so. If you were a member at the PB support forum back then, you'll have known that a 100 members = very rare. So anyhow, I thought to myself, "if he can do it, so can i!". Although... I didn't want to steal his idea completely, so I created a website first, basically any proboard member could request via a form for a banner. Alot of troubles occured with the banner not being good enough and all that unappreciative crap. So I made a forum. To ease some interest, I named this one board id as 'unhappy' so all the unappreciative ones could post in there saying what they wanted. over time, I realized that the website wasn't happening, so I turned the forum into a graphics request forum. And yeah, since then, SSD was 'born'.
Do you think it's still the same forum it was when you created it, essentially?
Well no, my main focus back then was to provide some way to create graphics on the spot for people. And before my eyes SSD grew, and grew, so things were alot harder to keep on track with, 20 odd requests a day were being posted, and our staff just could not cope- With that, the request board went, as did my main 'focus'.
Is it better or worse now?
It's hard to say, the final few months when I was in charge was a complete mess, I let too much things slip and not enough things were getting cleaned up. So I assume from the organization today, the staff have done nothing but improve the forum on a whole. I actually remember discussing with the higher staff about making SSD just a graphics community. That's been done to perfection.
Are you ever sorry you handed SSD over?
I have my regrets sometimes, like being online when there's nothing to do. Usually I'd be doing something on SSD, but not no more. I guess I've actually benefited from it too though, I've got alot more time to myself and I don't have to worry about pleasing everyone. And besides, on the build up to my desicion I'd realized that Oliver was the man for the job.
Well! On a happier note, what've you been doing to keep yourself entertained during all this extra time you now have?
Haha, you ready for this? Right. After I left I was offered a job moding the graphics board at Proboards Support. I accepted the offer and have been doing my job since. I've also been a member and staff member of www.throw-in.com for some time. And then there's redzion.proboards3.com where I spend abit of my free time. I maintain the boards at PBS, add mods for the related game at throw-in and skin the redzion forum everytime it needs a change. ON TOP of that, I'm in 6th form recieving 3 essays a week!
What about soccer? Are you on a team right now?
Football. Yes, I am. 2 actually. Playing for my local club, and my local means team. I'm striker (Look it up UC!) and have netted 30 goals in 22 games for both the teams combined.
If you could have any job in the world, what would it be and why?
Oh my. Definetely the succesor of Hugh Hefner. Do I even need to explain myself, boys?
Because your goal in life is to grow old and full of STDs?
I would only have sex with the safe looking ones UC.
Actually, no...I'd sack all the STD girls and hire my own. Any takers?
What happened to the innocent boy who'd never even kissed a girl before 15?
He's faded. I caught up with reality and have made up for my late success.
I would comment, but I've just realized I really don't care to know that much about you. So instead... pick one: Coke or Pepsi.
Coke
NEXT QUESTION: What does nightdrunk mean to you- give it a meaning.
Means, when....wtf...erm, wtf does nightdrunk mean UC?... Ash = Horny.
Clean subject! Pool of jello or mud? No girls involved.
Ruins the whole question then doesn't it? JELLO!
Scariest thing you've ever done?
Lie down on top of a travelling car at 80mph. Never, ever again.
What possessed you to do that, nutcase?
No room in the car and wanted a McDonalds!
Favorite song in the world?
James Blunt - High
If you only have five minutes left to live, what would you do?
1) Have sex (Very, very quickly)
2) Say Goodbye to the ones I love (Very, very quickly)
3) Log-on, tell someone that I'm going to die. (Very, very, very quickly)
4) Die.
Who would you tell?!
You, or Peter.
I feel loved, especially since Peter is hardly ever online anymore. Alright, last question. What would it take to get you back at SSD?
Getting Eternity to go on webcam for me. No, joke. I've tried to come back many times, but It's just, NOT happening. But, remember these words people...'Very soon'.
Oh, and you can include this too, can't you? yes? yes? Well, I'd like to let Christie, Eternity and Forsaken know I'm still thinking about them. Others too, but those are the only 3 who I haven't spoken too since leaving.
Thanks Ash!
