Profile: Time_Warp.
Hailed as FOG's "Nice guy", Time_Warp has succesfully managed to rid his evil tinted past and decieve any suspicious minds within the chatforums.
Coming from humble beginnings, TW was forced into a life of crime at age 6, drowning litters of puppies for old ladies and drug running for local gangs, just to put food on the table for his wife and 8 daughters.
After 2 years in the slammer (for posession with intent), TW has shed his dark ways to become a respected member of FOG.
Good one TW!

Profile #em - Tony
A no nonsense type of guy, which is probably the main characteristic which made him such a successful business. Hwe is reveered around the FOG for his quick witted and usually defining comments. He is the be all and end all of most arguments and is yet to be challenged by a mere user. Mr. Snuggly and no. 10 recently stole his finest quality, the unique staff regular position, from the secret drawer in his desk. But he hasn't let that fase him, more than liekly as he has an axe haning over their jobs at all times. A very dark and mystical character, highlighted by his position in many FOG stories, we can only wonder, what is behind the enigma of Mr. Rainbird.

Prime Profile: Cheatguru
Once hindered for being such a loser, Cheatguru returned for a short while 2 months ago to grace the forums with his presence. Sadly, his creative mind and knowledge about the gaming industry made him few friends and jealousy took over the forum members as Cheatguru got off to a cracking start winning 0 games. No-one knows where he is now, has he taken over a new persona? Will Cheatguru or his successor ever surface in FOG?! Well... that's the mystery that is: Cheatguru!

Profile #Aha - Turbonutter
Turbonutter is a frequent visitor to the PS2 forum, and has a new found love of all thins technical. Able to add more to the console wars than your average Nintendo fan and showing that the average mental age of PS2 owners must be above 4, he is a breath of fresh air to the console debate. An avid fan of the FOG stories, Turbonutter has become a household name in the land of SR and is widely accepted as a decent poster. Shame the Nintendo don't have a follower of this intellectual level.
