You know the ins and outs of E-Studios and aren't afraid to show it. You post a lot and probably have quite a post count already. Just remember that there are other things than E-Studios out there. Hmm wait, who am I kidding?

I don't need to tell you anything more, because you already know E-Studios is life. You know as much about E-Studios as its staff and admins, and chances are you're one of them. You've attained a level of inner spam that is only present in a true master in the art of E-Studios. Congratulations!

Oddly

You certainly know your way around E-Studios, and you're probably in the IRC channel and Spammy Yummy Discussion forum quite often. You can truly call yourself a community member, but there are some things you're not quite up to speed on. I guess real life is just a bit more interesting sometimes.

Its so true!

You're an interesting sort. You know enough about E-Studios to make you a regular, but not enough to actually fit in with the real community members. You probably have other things to do, but still enjoy the company of all the nutters roaming around the forums. Don't worry, one day you'll be one of them.

Exactly the same. Since I'm obviously the founder of E-Studios : :stickattack2:
