A long time ago, there was a site called RPGP.com. I was linked on the Star Ocean 2 board---which I never visited, so it was pure random chance that I saw the topic---to this site on a topic telling me to vote for Rena and Dias in the battle tournament. Said battle tournament was just the tonic for what ailed me at the time, and I followed it religiously, ultimately becoming one of the first and most prominent forums-goers when the site opened forums up. Afterwards, I became a founding member of the RPGDL.
