<forumuser name="Black Squirrel" /> Black Squirrel is a member who has lurked the SWS2B/Sonic Retro scene since 2003. While not a huge face in the Sonic scene, he is considered by many to be a respectable, intelligent scener, who adds insightful posts that are generally enjoyable to read. He holds expertise in the Mario series of games, and will generally offer very informative posts in topics related to that subject.

Outside of the scene, Black Squirrel is an administrator of Mario Fan Games Galaxy (MFGG), whose IRC channel was once hosted on local community IRC network BadnikNET. He stops by Sonic Retro every now and then to help out with the Wiki and post on the forums.

History

Upon his first stint in the Sonic scene, Black Squirrel was known to make several overenthusiastic, childish posts full of excessive emoticons, bad "theories," and general annoyance. While nowhere near as bad as faces such as Varion Icaria or other Gallery of Dumbasses candidates, he was still a victim of the board's severely immature vibe at the time. Despite this, he was a very prominent face on the SWS2B message boards from late 2003 to early 2004.

After Simon Wai wiped the forum userbase in February 2004, Black Squirrel found himself stuck in the Pending Approval group, after having made poor use of his Trial posts. He was not seen again in the Sonic scene until a fellow MFGG member joined the Retro forums, noting that Black Squirrel had referred him to the site. Tweaker, recognizing the username, promoted Black Squirrel to a full member, and encouraged him to become active in the scene once again.

While he did not immediately take up this offer, he returned to the scene about a month following Tweaker's recommendation, and is currently a relatively active member of the scene.
