Selbi
From Sonic Retro
<forumuser name="Selbi" /> Selbi is a German scener and a member on the Sonic Retro forums. He is most commonly known from SSRG, though.
History
Retarded beginnings at SSRG
Selbi originally joined the scene early in 2007. But because of his bad English and thinking he is awesome at hacking (which of course wasn't the case). In turn, he didn't get validated at all, but banned. In June 2008 he joined the SSRG and started his "hacking carrier" there, but because of his sub-par English, he quickly became something new (In other words, retarded).
By releasing a hack called Sonic 1: Project 255 on August 2008, he got banned from SSRG (the hack was just a piece of crap with stolen content from Sonic 1 Harder Levels Version and the very first Sonic Megamix). After this time was over he returned being much more active, but not more careful (as he actually should be). At this point, he started learning ASM, and eventually got better and better at it.
On Retro
Selbi tried astounding 9 times to get approved on the Sonic Retro validation forum (9 accounts and not just 9 tries with 1 account), which is probably the current record in the whole community. 8 times he failed miserably because of poor English, bad validation posts, etc. But on June 2009, exactly 1 year in the scene, he finally made a good validation post and got approved.
Today
While Selbi can't draw or compose something, he is pretty good at ASM. He likes helping people and creating tutorials (most of them are tutorials for beginners though). He is a member of a number hacking teams, including Team ZX and Harder Project. One of his goals is to be a Tech Member in the future (even though he doesn't think he ever will be accomplished). Nowadays he is Mostly working on his hack, hoping it'll be something really special one day, but he is also working on a Hacking utility called Sonic 1 - Text Code Generator, which does what exactly what it says.
Recently he has been doing lots of Wiki edits, mostly redirecting pages though.
