Oh dear, I didn't know you had a claim on AM, does Mel know?
Oh no no no, it's much more complex than that.
(Sega) Genesis 1
In the beginning, STL created WW. And WW was without flavor, and mechanics; and abandonment was upon the face of the forum. And the Spirit of STL moved upon the face of the pre-vet forum.
And STL said, "Let there be heavy mechanics", and there was heavy mechanics. And STL saw the heavy mechanics, that it was good: and STL divided the heavy mechanics from the simple strategy. And STL called the heavy mechanics "roles", and the simple strategy he called "vanilla." And the abilities and the vanillas were made the first day.
And STL said, "Let there be a separation in the midst of the forum, and let it divide the mod from the players."And it was so. And STL called the separation "modchat." And modchat and dubz were added the second day.
And STL said, "Let the forum under the modchat be gathered together unto one place, and let the thread appear." And it was so. And STL called the thread "signups" and the gathering together of the numbers called he "groups." And STL saw that it was good.
And STL said, "Let WW bring forth players, the meat of the game, yielding many shocking and humorous interaction yet to come, who vote is in itself, upon the thread." And it was so. And STL saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.
And STL said, "Let there be game thread in WW to divide the casual chat from the gameplay; and let them be for tagged, for vote cycles, kill cycles, and twilights: And let them be for modposts in WW to give guidance upon the thread." And it was so. And STL made two great cycles; the vote cycle to rule the Day, and the kills cycle to rule the Night: he made [insert] closed; results pending also. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the life from the death: and STL saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
And STL said, "Let there be dds, and every dry pun and quick jip that he may utter, will have the thread reacting with likes and support: and STL saw that it was good. And STL blessed him, saying, "Be active, and fill pre-vet with Lounge strategy." And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
And STL said, "Let WW bring forth Paws after his kind, with wolf sweeping, and every powervillaging strategy." And it was so. And STL saw that it was good.
And STL said, "Let us make Mel in my image, after my likeness: and let him have dominion over the noobs of the winter, and over the veterans of the past, and over the cows, and over all WW, and over every cow that launches in the thread." So STL created Mel in his own image, in the image of STL created he him; cheezit and axolotl created he him.
And STL saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were Night 0 and Sega Day 1.
I think I was his first co-mod.
