The 90's
HarroSIN discovered the Sonic community upon logging onto the alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog newsgroup back in 1995 at a local library when he was only seven years old. Upon his family purchasing their first computer a year later, he had unrestricted access to Usenet. Under the guise of his AT&T WorldNet e-mail address, he had an "always lurk, never reply" demeanor: he enjoyed reading (within reason) user-submitted fanfics and reviews of Sega Saturn games. This continued for several years until the loss of access in 2001, due in part because of a new computer and ISP switch. A conflict of interest also ensured because of the death of the Dreamcast and growing hobby for playing multiplayer computer games with his new broadband connection.
The 00's
Never becoming a true fan of "Web 2.0," HarroSIN hardly had the motivation to visit Sonic-related websites and communities regularly. Occasional curiosity would arise at the peak of a new Sonic game announcement, but would immediately simmer after the first few reviews began to roll in. In 2005, he became slightly active in Sonic CulT, in which he would take the time to contribute elaborately, well-formatted new material to X-Cult. In mid-2008 a certain someone encouraged him to register on the Sonic Retro forums, in an attempt that "somebody may remember him."
The 10's, Present Day
HarroSIN still remains semi-active in the Sonic community. Although not interested in web forum affairs, he enjoys the occasional company in IRC and Skype. He currently works as both a quality assurance/technical representative at a local software company, and (very) part-time actor/model.
