[GeneralGuy]

Okay so I guess I'm here too now.

I used to go by Kitsune Yamato or Nick/Nicholas Ainsworth here. I don't go by either of those anymore. Just Fourside or my real name, Ike, is fine.

Hey Ike! I personally think Kitsune Yamato and Nicholas Ainsworth are cool names, especially the former. But Fourside Seven is even better!

I remember a lot of you and I owe many of you an apology because I was either openly a heel to you or I passively watched while others did it while I was an administrator here and for that, I'm sorry. I wish I would have been better to you all, especially when certain individuals went out of their way to turn MFGG into a swamp.

No problem! You're fine. There were a lot of questionable mods and admins in power during that period of time (late 2009 - 2011), and in that regard, you were one of the better ones.

I also suffered a lot of abuse, which is why I left previously. GeneralGuy knows the story. I suffered a lot of blatant racism at the hands of several members and it made it extremely uncomfortable for me to be here and with several other members laughing with them, I just assumed I didn't belong and took my leave. Having your reputation and personal projects repeatedly trashed for no reason other than sheer hate will do that to you.

Yeah, that's awful. Any form of racism, sexism, homophobia and any other biggotry isn't tolerated here.

Since I was last on MFGG, I've moved away from Georgia to Pennsylvania. I currently live just outside of Pittsburgh in an apartment with just me and my dog. He's an okay roommate when he's not trying to eat my bacon. I've been working extensively on my art and comic work, which a handful of you may have seen when we crossed paths in the last decade or so. I've gotten a lot better since the days of “RyuFox Legends,” which now goes by another title that doesn't sound completely like a 13-year-old came up with it in 10 seconds.

I live in Ohio, but Pennsylvania is also pretty cool. Lake Erie is above both states, and then Canada is on the other side! Dogs do make the best friends. I feed my dog table scraps sometimes, but I make it a rule to keep his consumption of pork to a minimum. You'll have to show my your art and comic work sometime, as I'm very eager to see it. Also, your new username and commentary on your previous ones made me realize that I need to find a new one as well. GeneralGuy is incredibly generic.

I've also suffered a death in the family as well. My dad passed away back in 2017 and I'm still occasionally dealing with the grief from that. I've also been placed on medication for severe anxiety and suicidal ideation. I like to think it's working. I haven't seriously thought of yeeting myself off a building in months.

I'm sorry to hear about your father. May he rest in peace. I've had quite a few family members pass away in the last 11 years, and it's definitely sad. In regards to your own health, that's great to hear you're getting better.

I guess that about covers it. I don't know how often I'll be posting since I work like 9 hours a day now with a 90-minute commute on each end of that but I'll at least try to drop some things in the arts board.

Great introduction Ike, and I'm so glad you could join! Yeah, nearly everyone here are adults now with full-time jobs which leaves us with less time to browse compared to 13 years ago. I look forward to seeing your artwork!
