It's about time someone finally guessed my true identity...
Wow, so Kaz lives in North Dakota and drives an old Fiat? Who knew?

You also look grumpy.I'm ridiculously tall and bearded in that picture.
The humanity...
Have you shrunken and shaved since?I'm ridiculously tall and bearded in that picture.

Not even a little.1. First and foremost, this is a most special month for all of us involved in the workings of GTPlanet and I thought it was time for us to bare it all, allowing the community at large an opportunity to see us for who we all really are - which of course means you're officially GTPlanet's Member of the Week! Are you excited? Explosions!
I arrived at GTPlanet's doorstep looking for information about GT4. At that time, Jordan was hosting the videos on his own servers instead of YouTube (or equal) and required anyone that wanted to view said videos to be a member. I joined, watched a handful of videos and the next thing you know, [see question 26].2. What brought you to GTPlanet and was there ever a time before you took on the badge where you thought to yourself "I'd like to do that" only to then immediately regret said thought ever coming to mind?
I can usually be found in The Rumble Strip and it's little sister The Infield, Computers & Technology, Photography & Image Editing and Movies & TV. Came for GT, stayed for everything else!3. There's a lot to do around the forums so I have to ask: what sub-forums/threads do you frequent most often and why?
If memory serves, and I'm getting old so it probably doesn't, you can blame @Monkeywench for that. I was sick and she asked me if I wanted anything. Ramen. 'Cause that fixes anything. On her way through the checkout, she spotted an issue of Official Playstation Magazine. They always had a demo disc and this one just happened to contain GT2. Fuse. Lit.4. What was it that sparked your interest in Gran Turismo?
I didn't. My parents gave it to me. Along with a handful of other letters for good measure.5. How did you come up with the name "TB"?
I have nothing whatsoever against the XBox but I've never felt the need to buy one so it's pretty clear that it's Gran Turismo. Although I've never finished one and haven't played 6 in months...6. There's no controversy here so what's your flavor: Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport, neither, both, or something else altogether?
After the moment of SHEER PANIC from receiving a PM (as they were called way back in the olden days) from @Duke, then opening it, reading through the message and feeling relieved that I hadn't colossally screwed up, it took me all of 5 minutes to decide to do it. I'm not nearly as active with the Mod duties as I feel I should be, though.7. What was your initial reaction when the badge was presented to you?
When @Jordan changes everything up with a new iteration of GTPlanet, everyone, myself included, complains because things changed. We don't like change. It worked. Leave it alone. But as has always been the case, once you've settled in, it feels right and you can't remember what the previous versions even looked like after a month.8. GTP 12 is up and about, what are your thoughts?
As I stated, I haven't played 6 in months. That's not to say I don't like it, it has more to do with the PS3 that can run GT6 is connected to the TV that everyone else in the house uses and it's a pain to have to move it to the theater to play. So I've been playing my semi-new PC lately.9. Gran Turismo 6 is finally here, what are you thoughts so far?
I don't know that I bring anything overly special or different to the table but I'd like to think that I help where I can, am amusing to some and not overly annoying to most.10. Talk a little about what you think you bring to GTPlanet and how you think you can continue to improve.
70.4° all day would be absolutely fantastic. Except for when I go to the lake. Then we could crank it up a bit.11. How do you prefer the weather: hot, cold, or mild?
Sadly, no.12. Have you ever been stalked or threatened with legal action because you're a moderator here?
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Beverly Hills Cop, In Bruges, Fargo. Only the best cities get a movie named after them.13. Tell us something interesting about your hometown.
I would almost assuredly break it.14. If given the opportunity, if even for a moment, what would you do with GTPlanet?
I begin projects that I typically don't fini15. Do you have any hobbies we should be made aware of?
Hopefully this isn't a hobby.16. You own a Fiat! Exposition, now.
I'm pretty sure, because mentally I'm 12, it's 69, dude.17. What are the maximum number of points you've issued any one person for breaking the rules?
There's nothing we can do to change people minds after they have that attitude so I'll simple say "OK".18. Some would say our position is a lucrative one, others would say it's an excuse for us to be internet "tough guys" - what would your response be to both of these assumptions?
Goats? 0.47. I'm more of a pig man.19. How many goats have been sacrificed on a daily basis in the name of your moderatorship?
The Deadpool game, no. He was, and after I started playing it again with the kids a while ago, my go-to character in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.20. I'm noticing the Deadpool love, have you played the game?
New console isn't in the plans. After building my computer last year I'm getting more into PC gaming. All hail Lord Gaben!21. With the next generation of all things video gaming upon us, have you made any plans to pick up a PS4, Xbox One or Wii U?
I've never really seen the point of a car with eleventy billion and one horsepower but I don't want completely lethargic, either. I'd probably go for something small but still quick; something along the lines of Caterham or Ariel.22. If you were to indulge in the art of boutique car manufacturing what would your mission statement be?
Assorted breakfast meats covered with syrup with a side of pancakes. Preferably for supper because somehow breakfast for supper is better than breakfast for breakfast.23. What's your ideal breakfast lineup?
Anyone who thinks they aren't at least a little crazy is wearing plastic wrap underwear. I'd give myself a 4.07.24. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being likely to go to the nut house, how crazy would you rate yourself?
Someone that can analyze a situation, think things through and reason with people when there are disagreements.25. What would you look for in bringing a new face into our elusive fold of moderator insanery?
This gem from The Simspon's Quotes thread on August 5, 2004:26. Where and when was your very first post here and how does it differ from your posting style used today?
Almost 10 years to the day later and I'm still just as childish.Lisa: That's ridiculous. No body has a catchphrase.
(Homer knocks over a lamp)
Homer: D'oh!
Bart: Ay Currumba!
Marge: Hmmm!
Barney: Burp!
Nelson: Ha ha!
Maggie: (sucks on pasiphire)
Flanders: Hi-didilly-ho!
Mr. Burns: Excellent.
Silence
Lisa: (defeated) If anyone needs me, I'll be in my room. (walks out)
Homer: What kind of a catchphrase is that?
She turns the lights on and I turn them off.27. For those of us that have been lucky enough to marry our significant other, how is the power managed between multiple people?
I was on a flight from Orlando to Minneapolis and they had free W-Fi. Then I had to go to the bathroom...28. Have you ever accessed the website during an unusual time and/or place?
I believe it was around a month. I can't quit this place!29. What's the longest you've gone without logging onto GTPlanet since joining: years, months, weeks, days, hours?
I came close once in Jamaica but sadly no. I'm working on that, though!30. Are you illegal in any number of states or entire countries?
I'd like to see a lot less complaining.31. What's one significant change you'd like to see made to racing games in the next five years or so?
Besides complaining about being left behind, you mean?32. Now it's time for the "Moderator Special": the entire staff has been away on leave for several weeks on business and you're the only active staffer left standing, what do you do?
Press your Luck. Those wammies were 🤬 hilarious when they took all their money!33. What was your favorite game show growing up?
Some get used more than others but there are plenty of devices around the house - 3 smartphones, a tablet, 2 computers, 4 TVs, 1 projector, 3 receivers with 14 speakers. You get the point. Every once in a while I think a Roku would be nice for the living room TV so I can watch Netflix on it but there's nowhere to put it without wires hanging. I don't want to see wires hanging so I skip it.34. How many electronic devices do you own, and is there anything out there that you've been eyeing for some time now but just haven't pulled the trigger on yet?
1991 - Started high school.35. If the 90's were good to you for any reason, reminisce a little - what's your favorite memory?
How the 🤬 is possible that smoke detectors batteries ALWAYS die at night? Statistically, that shouldn't happen. I sleep between 6 and 8 hours each night. Therefore, I'm awake between 66-75% of the day and yet somehow those infernal lifesaving necessities manage to hit the 25-33% slot. I'm also dumbfounded that me stumbling around getting the ladder, yanking the battery and replacing it didn't wake my wife up because, naturally, the detector in question was in my bedroom.36. Anything else you'd like to say?
* YouTube didn't exist yet!TBAt that time, Jordan was hosting the videos on his own servers instead of YouTube (or equal) and required anyone that wanted to view said videos to be a member.*
19. How many goats have been sacrificed on a daily basis in the name of your moderatorship?
But you haven't been sacrificed. Yet.
But you haven't been sacrificed. Yet.

Congratulations. Also if I remember the podcast correctly your name is Tracy something?
Congratulations. Also if I remember the podcast correctly your name is Tracy something?
I knew it! I freaking knew it! Your username comes from your initials. YES! I was right for once!
Tracy Beaker?
He's a prefect? (think there's a Language Warning on this)I'm prefect.
I probably shouldn't be telling you this since I promised @TB I'd keep it quiet, but he's actually Tyra Banks. He uses someone else's pictures and a fictional backstory to throw everyone off the scent.
Just keep it to yourselves though, yeah?
You remember adequately.Congratulations. Also if I remember the podcast correctly your name is Tracy something?
I occasionally go out of my way to interject The Simpsons, South Park, 80's movies, etc into conversation both here, at home, at work, waiting in line at the grocery store...That Simpsons part had me split my sides.
I thought so but wasn't positive and didn't run the dates to check.* YouTube didn't exist yet!
Thank you, sir.Anyway, Congratulations @TB. Very enjoyable read mate.
YET.But you haven't been sacrificed. Yet.
Right back atcha.
*mumbles with mouth full* Distract me from what?[/mumble]Don't worry I've got the situation under control. Look Donuts!
There, that will distract him.
I don't always do things AND stuff. Most days I have to choose.Grats @TB on being, you know, a person that does things and stuff.
TB, the mod I idolise the most. He`s the best.
Oh.(Oh, I will say that after each and every staff interview. Exept the "TB" part...)
Glad someone picked up on the intentional misspelling. Yes, intentional...Hard laughing. Oh, god, how you`re playing with words... I like a lot.
I TRUSTED YOU WITH MY SECRETS AND YOU THROW THEM BACK AT ME LIKE A MONKEY FLINGING POO.he's actually Tyra Banks.
👍Congratulations @TB 👍
