Ahoy to Bob and all.
Old fart with far too many hobbies/ interests to name. Currently working my way through 20+ webnovels Chinese Xianxia/ Manga/ Manwha/ ect.
I'm part of 4-5 different fan translation groups, mostly doing proofing and lettering.
Some of you have know/ known of me for decades.
"Long time listener. 1st time caller". (you get the deal.)
Peace all

Well. It only took you 24 years to show up here. <grin> Welcome, finally.
For everyone else, Lil Wiz is one of my oldest friends. We met when I was... eight, I think it was, and he was seven. We've drifted in and out of each other's "best friend" position a few times over the decades. I dated his sister in high school. He was at our wedding. Over the years he's found a place with every group of friends I've made, from high school to Princeton and beyond. He lives in the Philippines now, so we haven't been in touch as much recently.
Didn't know you were doing the fan translation thing, cool.
Can I use your real name? Because I'll tell you, stopping myself to deliberately type "Lil Wiz" instead of it is weird.

Hello, welcome, don't be afraid to take a look around, ... (you get the deal.)
Don't know whether you want to take on even more proofing work, but there are a lot of fanfic writers here...

Sure, I don't care. I tried to change my user name but couldn't figure it out.
UPDATE: RLN: JD (John) Gold, but I've been going by JD since the 90's, so...

Welcome to our little carousel of madness, Wiz. It sounds like you've had a pony reserved all this time

I suspect, without checking the board docs, that it's not possible for a user to change their name. But it is possible for me, if not through the admin control panel, then by hacking the MySQL tables behind the board. Let me know what you want it to be, if it wasn't "JD Gold".
EDIT: Confirmed, I can change your username in the admin CP.

Welcome to the board, JD/LW. Any friend of Bob's is, through transitive properties, at least potentially a friend of mine, and it sounds like your potential has the potential to become kinetic.
Since we're sharing right names, I'm Austin Loomis. You probably don't know me from my protributions* to the Ultimate Video Rumble, or to Illuminati University, or to Milliways Bar and Grill on Livejournal and Dreamwidth, or to In Nomine Ludi on the late lamented Greatestjournal (in which last I RPed alongside, among others, Eric Burns-not-yet-White and the Very Beth McCoy Herself). You can get to know something about me from the deathless wisdom I've inflicted on Bob's boards over the last decade and change.

Ah.... someone else who suffers (if such a word would suffice) from an excess of personality. I shall fit right in.
Hullo.
