"Picklemaster *Dan!" by Anachronism
Interviewer: Anachronism
Interviewee: *Dan!
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to today’s featured interview.
Let’s put our hands together and give a round of welcoming applauds to…
Wait… Just who did you say you were again?
I am *Dan!, also known as stardnl to few.
*Dan! Huh? Why the *! Symbols? Is that some sort of trademark or did you simply think that you’re name’s too dull without them?
I started to notice the increasing numbers of "Dans" on proboards and wanted to separate my self away from the dan crowd. That would probably be my best explanation for my name, seeing as the symbols don't have a meaning otherwise.
You were just too good for those other Dan's I suppose.
Yeah, just something about me lol.
You’re a member throughout a number of various art communities, SSD, G101, etc. Am I right to assume that you have some sort of interest in art, coding, designing and the likes?
I do have a love for design and scripting. Although, it did not start out that way. I originally joined ssd back in April 2004 hoping to become a staff member on a forum. That quickly changed though. I noticed the beauty of art and that inspired me to start designing with the only program i could find, paint shop pro 8. As for scripting, i always used to assume i could code because i could take pieces of codes and put them together. I soon realized that i should really learn how to code, so i started with the basics, html and css. Then about four months ago i started my java script studies. I will admit i am definitely not the best scripter, but i enjoy doing it which is what matters.
It’s amusing really. I too joined SSD in hopes of becoming a staff member during my beginnings. Do you have any wish to take your interest in coding or design to the next level? Perhaps study it further and possibly make a career out of it?
I actually plan on studying game design in college. I am looking more into the 3d design such as characters, maps etc. As for coding i plan on taking a c++ course next summer at a local college. All though i am not planing on becoming a game programmer, the designers must work very closely with them, so i think it will be good to have some knowledge.
Those are some ambitious long term goals. I certainly wish you the best of luck!
I will make sure to not let life get in the way
Well, I hope it works out for the best =)
I’m told that apparently, you’ve just recently been promoted to Administrator of one of ProBoards largest art communities. Why don’t you tell us some about that.
Ah yes. Not to long ago i was promoted to the Administrator ranks on G101 Design. This really came as a shock to me, seeing as i never expected to even mod G101 design in the beginning. I joined g101 back in January 2005 with a good friend tehbest. We both had a goal of becoming a moderator, but our "over ambitious" attitude didn’t help. I soon cooled down and just enjoyed the community, becoming pretty active. Seeing as i had been designing with paint shop pro for awhile now, i was able to offer help in the psp board. This would give me my first chance to become a moderator. Right about then tehbest was promoted to moderator as well. After some time passed, tehbest and I were promoted to Elite-Moderator. And that leads us to today in a summery =P
Interesting little history. Beware though, they say power corrupts =P
*Bans ana and sky.
Haha! Speaking of Anachronism and Sky. Why don’t you tell us what it’s like working along with them? Remember now, be honest, I won’t tell =P
It is living hell!
Im just kidding. It is actually great, i could not have asked to work with a better team. Anachronism is the most dedicated administrator i have ever seen in my days of proboards. Sky.strife is on heck of a coder, and extremely dedicated to his position. They run things very smoothly, and are well liked with the members.
”It’s living hell” – I’ll be sure to extend that message to them =P
I take it you’ve met a lot of interesting and not so interesting people throughout your ProBoards adventure, correct?
I have had a chance to meet some AWESOME people. If it wasn't for ssd, i would not have met my two best Internet friends, dmsuperman and sucramreverse. Many of you know who dmsuperman is, but sucramreverse left back in version 4. I still talk to both on a regular basis, even though i met them three years ago.
But on terms of "interesting" i would have to say Oliver Him and his sneaky ways will crawl right up next to you and hypnotize you when you least expecting it Otherwise I have met so many great people, i really couldn't name them all right now.
Indeed, most of us are familiar with Oliver’s sneaky ways. Fortunately, his power to control will fail to work if you close your eyes and block your ears… or so I think…
Quickly now, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind when I say pickles?
Beating david[hp] on the head with a pickle.
That wasn’t quick enough -_-
Okay okay, back to the serious stuff now. Tell us a secret about yourself. Something most people wouldn’t know about you.
Probably that I play the guitar, or that I was banned from ssd back in the day.
Banned from SSD? I never would have thought that you had a wicked side. What ever did you do to deserve a ban?
I was banned for being underage. I was only 12 years old at the time.
Ah I see. The ultimate ProBoards sin!
It looks like you’re getting a little restless there Dan. Would you be happy if I told you that this is the final question of the interview?
I got a bazillion more answers in me. They just have to match the question.
Yes well I don’t have a “bazillion” hours to waste on you and our audience is surely bored of reading this anyway =P
Whats wrong with them
They just don’t appreciate you the way I do =)
Any final comments?
I would just like to say Pickles for president in 08!
Dear god…
There you have it folks, Dan aka stardnl!
