<forumuser name="Billy" />
Billy joined the scene on the 20th of May, 2005, at 12 years of age. The first forum he registered at was the SSRG, back when it was still run by JohnnyUK and Ultima. He had already been somewhat in the emulation scene before, which is how he found the SSRG. He then got very interested in ROM hacking. Later, he discovered SWS2B, where he quickly registered after seeing all the hacking information it had. After many failed attempts at hacks he quit.
These days, he can be seen frequenting Sonic Retro, Sonic CulT, and many others. During the move from SWS2B to The Sonic 2 Beta Page, he fully supported Tweaker's adminship and LocalH's leaderships skills, although he was pretty easily influenced those days. He is a big fan of older Rock N' Roll and Metal and is not really known for doing anything relevant in the community, especially since he isn't very skilled at hacking.
I_AM_NED fiasco
Back when Billy had a remotely hosted board of his own creation, he decided he needed a test account. So he made one, but went a little too far, tricking everyone at the board into thinking that a new person had registered. He was discovered later and admitted to it, but kept the account for testing. He still uses I_AM_NED for stuff today, but with a Ned Flanders avatar.
Other aliases
Billy has had many names on the internet. He mostly just uses "Billy" or "Billy2600" (a reference to his fascination with the Atari 2600). He has used several other ones very rarely, usually for joking, testing (see above) or trolling purposes, or when he does not want to give out his usual name (usually when registering at a site he doesn't want people to know he's registered to).
Quick Facts
- Billy was born on the 10th of July, 1992
- He knows HTML, CSS and PHP (taking a couple hints from voice)
- His real name is William McPherson
