As of this writing I am a mere 12 posts away from reaching over 9000 posts. Now if I were Hoip I'm certain this would be some sort of massive milestone that would leave me with a painful, throbbing erection with which I could only properly reach climax after hitting exactly nine-thousand and one posts. Nevertheless, I joined the forum back in 2008 and since July (or is it June) is coming that means it'll have been a whole seven years I've been a member. That's got to be worth something! I thought I'd use this time to share a bit more about myself and why and how I became interested in YouTube Poop and the forums.
February of 2007 proved to be a pivotal point in my life when my older brother was killed in a car accident on the tenth. I spent most of the year of 2007 shirking my duties in school. I attended only three out of nine of the daily periods, only those I deemed important (i.e. English, Math and Science). I would spend the rest of the day moping around the bleachers since none of the staff ever went out there anyway. Of course, the school's brilliant plan to combat this defiant behaviour was to send me to in-school suspension, which consisted of keeping me out of class and having me sit in a room for about four hours or so, which isn't much different from what I was doing anyway so it was a pleasant change of pace. I was never a good student to begin with, but now I would follow my older brother's example of being openly defiant to teachers and staff, only without any of the charisma or social skills he had. Given that my few friends were also often busy actually doing schoolwork or spending time with new friends, I spent most of my after-school hours alone or with my younger brother. After the Summer Break the school shifted me to what they called the "Greenhouse" program - an alternative school program that emphasized students' individual needs, and I excelled there (even graduating two months ahead of everyone at the regular school). Most of the other students were troublemakers, but I did manage to make at least one new friend there.
Christmas that year, my grandfather sent me an HP Slimline PC (I think that's what it was called anyway). I spent a good deal of time figuring out how to set it up, and eventually got it connected to the internet. Being that I spent most of my late elementary years obsessively watching Newgrounds flash videos at my friend's house, that was the first thing I did with my new found internet access. Sadly, it seemed my tastes had evolved past the point where I could enjoy that kind of shit, so I turned to YouTube, a website that I had personally never encountered, but many people I knew talked about a lot.

The primary source for my original, long lost YTP.
Now I don't know what I entered into that search engine, or what I was watching that may have had it in the recommended listings, but I eventually stumbled upon "Robotnik and his Gameboy", which - to this day - I still consider one of the best YouTube Poops ever made, if not only for the last ten seconds of the video. This led to another YouTube Poop, and another, and so on, and so on. I thought they were fucking brilliant, though bear in mind this was back when "Dinner", "Pingas" and "It's a stone Luigi" were the height of YTP excellence. Eventually I decided to try making one for myself. My new PC was equipped with Windows Movie Maker (back when it wasn't total shit), and I cobbled together clips from that shitty Sonic anime movie as well as some other crap I can't put my finger on, and uploaded it to YouTube under the name "erazor521". My original YouTube Poop "Metal Sonic Wants Michael's Testicles" (or something to that effect) was so hideously awful that it only took me about a week or so before I realized this and took it down and deleted it from my computer. This was before it had even managed to accrue any views or comments.
CrawlThoughKnives86 made a solid number of YTPs but this one was always one of the most memorable to me.
As I continued making YouTube Poops in these formative months before I would actually join the forums in July (or June, again, I forget) I became friends with a small clique of relative unknowns. I remember a few of them by name, vader7789, CrawlThroughKnives87, SpookersTheSpoo, Illumiknight, Sonic729, Warhawk717 (who I'm sure many of you know), and BloodyShadow24. CrawlThroughKnives and vader were brothers, and BloodyShadow shared their MO of basically making Robotnik say "Pingas" every other word. Simple, but I found them charming, and for some reason they revered me as being the most skillful of the four of us, which stroked my massive ego but I tried not to let it go to my head since I knew I was shit compared to a lot of other poopers (it wasn't long after he got ahold of Vegas that Warhawk proved to be pretty fucking brilliant). Still, it was through this group that we all somehow also became well acquainted with Boogidyboo, who was a super nice guy even if he left the game sooner than I'd have liked. Eventually my younger brother took an interest and started making Youtube Poops as well, and also found himself in correspondence with this group.
I don't recall how I even learned about the forums. It was probably though one of manwith10toes videos since he mentioned them fairly frequently. Nevertheless, I found them and joined up. It was a rocky start. I was combative and didn't get along with a number of members. In particular were Feghoot and GameCubeHero, both of whom I eventually smoothed things out with and became friends (though now one is banned and the other has vanished to parts unknown). While I fully admit to being a dumb idiot at the time, I still remember and appreciate Emperor Ing sticking up for me and trying to get other members (specifically Feghoot) off my back in several threads and I've always respected him as a result (which makes me miss him all the more).
And so, time went by, and here we are now. Most of us who joined back in the day are now adults, my brother has long quit YouTube Poop, and I don't have the hardware to make any (for now). I've met (Waymu) some members, and have had lengthy one-on-one conversations with others (TheOneManBoxOffice), and after so much time I finally feel like I'm blending in to a degree. I've been to many different internet forums in the past seven years, and none have been so diverse in tone and taste as this one. I don't regret the sheer amount of time I've spent reading and posting on this forum, and I certainly intend to do so for the forseeable future. In any case, I've been planning on hooking that old HP up at my girlfriend's house, just so I could use Vegas 5 again and make some new, tasty poops for all of you.
