Hello all!
Typing up this post brings back extreme nostalgia. My name is Michael & I reside in Sydney, Australia. Last month would've been my 9 year anniversary on ForumKorner but unfortunately I was forced to take a really really long break. Being gone for 6 years, it is obvious that life circumstances would change drastically.
I joined FK when I was 12 years old. I had worked my way up to almost 10,000 posts, I was a part of the Moderator team, after 2 months or so I was transferred to Staff on this forum for a few years. It was a really great experience because it taught me so many things which I still use in my day-to-day life. It was able to teach me lessons such as being able to distinguish between right & wrong, how to deal with people, communications, dealing with reports & generally keeping everything safe.
I really & truly loved this period of my life because I felt interconnected with humans from around the globe & was able to help the forum thrive at it's peak. I have not been in contact with anyone on this forum besides Beware (AKA @Skorp) who has been a buddy of mine on Instagram ever since he joined our staff team many years ago. I'd like to give him a personal shoutout because he is the one who was able to help successfully bring me back to my longing second home.
What have I been up to after all these years? Closing in on a whole decade on the forum, I have completed and accomplished a few things I am really proud of throughout my life.
- Graduated from high school (2016)
- Started Aviation course (2017)
- Completed & attained CASA Commercial Pilot License (2018)
- Completed & attained MECIR (Multi-engine command instrument rating) (2019)
- Completed ATPL exams (needed for the airlines)
- Created my own brand relating to the EDM/Hardstyle scene & have sold out first 2 events with international headliners
- Created my own record-label relating to EDM/Hardstyle & our 1st released track has surpassed 55,000 streams across all major streaming platforms in under a week
- Invested into the ASX (Australian Securities Exchange)
Not really sure what else to add, but if you have any questions or would like to chat; hit me up!
Notable shoutouts:

@Jimmy - You were a cool guy. Hope you're doing good.
@Shift - Hands down the forum's biggest troll back in the day. Lot of laughs with you bro. Sorry for banning you that 1 time lmao.
@Skorp - For keeping in contact over the the course of 5 years, helping me get back to the forum & being such a cool person in general. Glad to be back because of you!
@Greed- Taught me the ins & outs, actually told me I would be getting Staff 4 days prior to me receiving it. I used to hop on this guys teamviewer & complete forum reports while he'd game lmao.
@Color - I remember you faintly.
@Pun - We had some good times back in the day
@Beats - You were the dude who literally made me die of laughter every day.
@Narc - For being such a kind soul over the years, teaching me so much about the OG scene. Hope you're living it up in the clout house my guy.
@Chill - You were my first Aussie friend on this site & one of the people I respect most. Hope you have been well over the years.
@Cann!bal - Extremely intellectual dude who was always up for a debate. You joined our staff team & upped the level completely. Miss you Mr Rinaldi
I feel like there's a few more people I am missing, but that's about it so far.
I'd like to end off the post by saying thank you to @greg. I am not sure who you are, or why you decided to purchase this forum as it was dying - but what I can say is that you have done such a sick job so far. The forum looks amazing, activity looks like it will spike exponentially. I've noticed so many new features and I've only been online for 20 minutes. I can sense your dedication & urge you to continue to push through obstacles & make ForumKorner #1 again. We support you all the way my friend!
