History

Early Years (1998-2004)

Mikel became a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog in 1998, when he first watched The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Five years later, Mikel joined the Sonic scene through Sonic CulT under the name cubakaf on May 15, 2003. He posted in the community until his account on SWS2B was deleted, on Febuary 11, 2004.

Following this event, Mikel left the community, only to return through the Sonic Robo Blast 2 Community under the name Mikel93 eight months later.

Return to SWS2B (2005-2006)

After spending some time on the SRB2 message boards, Mikel came back to SWS2B on June 13, 2005. Some time later, he posted with horrid grammar and spelling mistakes.

On November 26, 2005, he posted a level art contest, which ultimately failed; two days later, it was trashed. On December 3, 2005, Mikel was banned from SWS2B for both this childish act and overall inability to interact as a competent member of the forums.

After getting banned from SWS2B, he was later seen on the SSRG forums until the board backup was corrupted in 2007.

Entering the bridge (2007)

Two years after getting banned from the Sonic 2 Beta forums, Mikel joined The Glowing Bridge in April of 2007. When the board was converted to MyBB, he continued to lurk the forums until June 29, 2007, where he released Sonic Zeta DX to the public. The release of his hack started massive amounts of controversy, as it contained stolen music from Sonic 1 Megamix. This ultimately led to him getting banned from The Glowing Bridge the same day.

After getting banned from The Glowing Bridge, Mikel came back to the SSRG four months later under a new name, DarkGhost.

Today (2008-Present)

Two months following his approval, Mikel revealed his new hack to the public, Sonic Zeta Overdrive, and entered it in the hacking contest. Even though his hack didn't win anything, it was well received by many members and praised.
