MK has been with the Sonic community for ages, but has never done anything relevant.

History

MK first joined the Sonic Community via Sonic Robo Blast 2's IRC chatroom in late 2004, having piqued his interest with a new release (and looking for the most recent Retro Sonic and Sonic Mettrix). After younger and younger children joined the SRB2 community, He and his group of friends branched off and formed their own group.

He stumbled upon SSRG, then Area 51 and SoStH, and finally Sonic CulT and Simon Wai's Sonic 2 Beta page etc. around that time and became interested in the whole prototype research thing. A long time reader, he joined the SWS2B forums after a while, but the profile was purged since he never posted; only read. He has made multiple hacks, but never deemed them finished and as such never released them to the public outside his small group.

Joined The Sonic Center at some point, doesn't remember when or how. He thinks he followed Rolken and CherryMay and will update this when he checks his logs.

Today

MK brought a lot of attention to drx's dump of the Sonic X-treme proto in his community, which turned out to be false, but he felt it was expertly executed and thought drx was pwn. He later heard about the Nick Arcade proto and kept checking back with the main community sites hoping for more.

The February 23rd 2008 Proto Release brought him to rejoin the forums and drx's server's #protos channel, then the Retro IRC channel (when he wrote this article), where he now regularly stays. He also hangs out at The Sonic Center's IRC chatroom.

MK is working on a hack, but hates posting 'ideas' that may or may not be realized, and as such is keeping it under wraps until he has media to provide.

On July 2nd, 2008, MK received sysop powers and title of Oldbie he so justly deserved. He accumulated a net loss of approximately 100$US in the process.

Alii

MK has gone by a few names in the past:

• DanP40988 - His first AIM name, first used on the SRB2 IRC channel.
• Dan_P
• Dan_X
• Hyper_Knuckles or HK - When he was misguided to believe generic character names were cool.
• Super_Knuckles or SK - A joke or something stupid.
• Mecha_Knuckles - the alias from which his current name derives. MK no longer considers this the 'full' form of his name, and insists MK does not "stand for" anything, primarily because he fears being mislabeled a furry.
• DanPMK - used when ancient software limitations prevent him from using MK.
