History

Very few members remain who were around when Dyhalto was new. Sir VG is a possibility, but his memory is untrustworthy. a lurker is a more likely possibility. Dyhalto is confirmed to predate Drex, as he flamed Drex in his introductory thread. bobo's obviously another contemporary, but we know how that goes. Who the hell can come in here and fill in the many blanks?

Pre vBulletin

Two things are remembered about Dyhalto during this time. The first is some sort of argument, possibly a mock battle, that resulted in Dyhalto reregistering as Remains_of_Dyhalto because of being blown into pieces. Who the hell knows. (Drex might! At the time of Drex registering, Revenge_of_Dyhalto and Remains_of_Dyhalto were both active members of the board. If memory serves (from 7 years ago), Revenge_of_Dyhalto was the name of the current Dyhalto, and Remains_of_Dyhalto was his real-life friend and tag-team flamer (not the gay kind). This could have been an elaborate farce continued at Drex's expense, or it could be as it was told at the time. At any rate, Remains_of_Dyhalto's prominence dwindled and when the vBulletin switchover came along, it appears as though Remains never re-registered.)

The other is the System Zero (at the time Perfect Zero) messageboard war. You see, Perfect Zero members came over to Gamingforce to show off their board features (possibly music they were hosting, etc). Some members felt that they were bragging/trying to shame Gamingforce too much and a huge flame war ensued, Dyhalto leading the good cause for Gamingforce. Whether Dyhalto's flaming prowess was already established or if this act established it, or the exact year of these events, is unknown. The most notable members on the Perfect Zero side were Mina, the owner, and Mickee, who ran/runs the board for her as head admin. The Gamingforce/Perfect Zero rivalry continued for roughly two years from the time of the first altercation. Eventually hostilities were dropped and Mina and Mickee popped in to check up on Gamingforce periodically.

vBulletin and on

Now commonly acknowledged as Gamingforce's top flamer with a lot of fame to go along with it, Dyhalto played a role in Marcel dropping his adminship and possibly wiping out the board before he left due to the "IDriver" incident. Though at this point in his career he acknowledged his greater days were behind him and feelings about "growing soft," Dyhalto couldn't help but involve himself in belitting FinalRob during his complaints about Gamingforce and eventually following him to the VGMDungeon to briefly continue the assault there.

An almost forgotten fact about Dyhalto is that he accepted to be a moderator after the community voted him in along with a lurker, JazzFlight, Vertigo, and a few others. Roughly after a month or so Dyhalto resigned, feeling being in staff went against what he stood for, who he was.
