History

Sonicretro-round.svg This short section needs expansion. You can help Sonic Retro by adding to it.

In the latter part of his tenure at SWS2B (mid to late 2005), LOst became increasingly combative, and often posted simply to increase his postcount. Simon eventually got fed up, put him back in Trial Membership, and reset his postcount. He did not use all of his trial posts for a long period of time. Once he did, however, Simon moved him back into the Tech Members group, but by this point he was already long gone. But he returned eventually.
