PROFILE- Mr Snuggly
Snuggly by name Snuggly by nature, well thats what his ladies tell us. Hes usually found on the forums making strange topics or chatting to regulars and notables. But why is he Mr Snuggly, is it a term he was given by a former lover, Does he enjoy wearing costumes like rabbits or bears or is it that he is actually covered from head to toe in snuggly fur? Nobody knows but what we do know is that the forums wouldn't be the same without him.

Okay, a winner has been picked! The winning entry will be placed in this week's Upwire e-mail (in slightly edited form) so all those who wish to find out who has won, you had better go and sign up to Upwire.com, hadn't you? The mail will be delivered on Thursday. It was a joy reading through your profiles and there were more than one true winner, so we might use others in ohter e-mails. Thanks for writing!
Profile: Wookie monster.
Born to an Aboriginal collective, and brought up by small hairy fictional characters, Wookie has had a hard like. Rejected at school for excessive facial hair, he found his new home in the gaming world, away from the public eye, where he flourished brightly. As an avid fan of mint sauce, you can easily spot him chasing sheep around fields. (well, thats his excuse...)
:)
Noone has done one of me yet, perhaps I should be grateful...

Profile: Mist1que
A rarity, an enigma, yes it's a female regular. When we say 'regular', this doesn't include her late night streaking sessions in FOG Chat, or her naked cartwheels on various other threads in the forums. But her opinion counts, not just 'because she's a gurlie', but because she knows what she's talking about when it comes to games. Mist1que is available for late night sessions as well as daytime, you just have to catch her in the right mood.

POP!
I guess this is over now?
No?
I hope you hadn't forgotten about it!

Profile: Time Warp
Hailing from an alternate future, where gaming never existed, Time Warp has come back to our past to learn all there is about gaming and sneak some of our technology back in the process. In his bid to take as much back as possible he has joined the FOG to gather his information and try to win games. His plan is then to report back to his leaders and provide them with the fun and excitement found in FOG before returning to our time and settling down.

Profile: Your Honour
This learned poster has sat in judgement over console wars, hotly debated the future of gaming and sent lesser posters to the docks for their crimes against FOG. Your Honour, as his name might suggest, is a respected member of the FOG judicial team, working hard to bring justice to the forums and keeping order in the topics. Is only weakness is his apparent ability to be bribed by GAD wins in order to sway him to the other side of the argument.
