I'm bored. So I thought I'd just tell everyone how this forum came to be. Storytime!

*cookies and milk*

Well, I was online one day and I decide to IM Mike and say hello. After some chat, I decided to bring up Duelist Underground, Mike's old forum that he retired from for personal reasons. Than I asked him, "Why not start over?"

He was skeptical at first but we both agreed that he should give it another go! We were both comming up with ideas for a forum idea and ended up with the idea of making a TEEN forum. This idea didn't last long since TEEN forums are kinda lame and full of depressed kids which isn't really a fun thing.

So a few days later, Mike comes up with the idea of making a forum for Staff, a place where staff members can go to chill and just get away from the responsibility of running a forum. We worked on the name for about 30 minutes till Mike agreed with the name I came up with.

"The Staff-Lounge"

I just put 3 words together and came up with that. I didn't really like it but Mike seemed to just love it.

After working on how to promote the forum and stuff, that how's we are all here today! Let's hope this forum will be as sucessful as Mike's version of DU!

So that's why you kept saying it was your forum while it REALLY WASN'T.

Lol, the name is mine. I deserve a cookie for that name. Mike never gave me my cookie though ;_;

I helped build the forum in a way, I deserve SOME credit. Just...a teenie-bit!

Well I have no doubt this won't be a success *because it's already a success*.

You changed your name? *gasps*
