Members
Don't let the name Starting Members and Members confuse you into thinking what isn't true. Due to early incident where people signed on, got customs for Sonic FGX, and left, there was little activity in the forum. To help counter that, the Insider staff decided to set a 150 post minimum before full membership is given to a person (This has since been removed, though Starting Members group was still kept). This doesn't mean that Starting Members are not members, but it's still early for them (unless they make a certain impression, for better or worse) Due to the myriad amount of Members, both active and inactive, the following list contains a few select, notable members who have been around and have made a reputation.
Speeder Name: Speeder
Other Names: speeder900 Member #: 1,291 Join Date: August 6th, 2010 Birthday: September 1st Notable for: History of noobiness, spriting Speeder had a rough start in the beginning when a joke during a member's birthday went wrong. Since then some people still are bothered with him but he has gotten better and has made a better name for himself as well (or just hasn't been doing much to make himself stand out as a noob). He is now a full-fledged member, but still shows signs of noobiness on occasion. Speeder is trying to become a decent spriter and has a few FC's, but some people just call them recolors. However, members try to help him out so he can practice and become a better spriter.
