I was never a member of the original forums because Kyasarin freaked me out one day in the IRC chat, but I've had SMBX since 2010. Accidentally stumbled upon it while searching for Mario games on Google, and I was immediately hooked. Since then I'd watched the forums like a ghost, looking out for new projects and updates.
After the crash of the original forums, I decided to join Vatteri's forums a few years ago, under the alias of Spitzy. I was a level judge there, but I started high school later that year and gradually pushed the forums away. I remember being on Knux's forums for a while too, but I didn't really post much. SMBX eventually faded away for me, and I didn't think much about my time on the forums anymore.
Just a month ago, I decided to snoop around on the Internet for some new SMBX stuff, and learned of the NEW Great Castle Adventure just recently being released. I'd been watching that episode since the days of the original forum, when krazykoopa announced the project. After getting back into SMBX, I started checking up on these forums a bit more often, and decided to register today under a new username. Spitzy just doesn't sound right to me anymore.
I've designed a few levels and planned a couple projects in my time on Vatteri's forums but never actually went through with any of them because I couldn't find custom graphics that I wanted

There's my story, I'm glad to be a part of this fantastic community once again! Not sure how things will turn out but I'm hoping to have some more fun here.
