A long term poster and been around since it all started.
Nothing special, just posts like everyone else although some people get all worked up because of his post count, or rep or something. He's not keeping score, you shouldn't either.
For a while a couple of years ago Hobbes had the highest post count by a couple of thousand posts. Because of people assuming that more posts means more status he routinely would get flak for having a high count. Even though now he isn't the highest post count and doesn't have the highest rep (which is no more), other board members still seem to think Hobbes is keeping score. To finally do away with that kind of muppet hassling him, Hobbes asked Ecksor to randomly scamble his total so it looked no different then the general population. This was reset back some months later but Hobbes is no longer number one in the post count.
Hobbes got the Roleplaying forum set up and moderated it for a while. One of the first few spin off forums from the Quake forum which was mainly created because all the RPG discussion was boring the hell out of the quake players.
Real name is Simon..

- THG (Private)
Stood for the "Tech Haven Ghosts" and was its orginal name until too many people asking questions had it changed to THG. Was a big brother/ultra secret clan within the Tech Haven faction of Neocron MMORPG. The clan orcastrated a number of behind the scenes actions in Neocron that helped move the Tech Haven into a more secure area. This meant covertly destabilizing other factions and clans and in some cases clans within the Tech Haven city. Because of this the majority of the members refused to use the forum for fear of being detected and having reprocussions on them. Hobbes no longer plays Neocron so the forum is pretty much dead.
- Against (Private)
This forum is for the boards.ie debating teams. It is a temp modship and gets removed when the next debating subject comes up.
