Like @Pokemon Trainer Sarah, I found pe2k because of sprites. However I also saw the boards and signed up as a place to ask noob questions. I joined September of 2007, under the name Legend Collector, as I had a huge fascination with legendary's at the time (I was 12 haha). I was somewhat active until 2009, and occasionally jumped on during 2011. From memory, I was fairly sick that year and missed a lot of school. Ended up on pe2k during those times to fill time.

During 2012, when I was 17, I made my return to pe2k, and changed my name, mostly because I felt it was, I dunno, immature? Anyway I changed to Cobalt Shadow, and became friends on the forum with a few people, most notably @Eternity (Who was eternal Moonlight at the time), @Dragotech, @FedoraChar (who was Charmander009 at the time) and @Pokemon Trainer Sarah, who, along with @Suicune's Fire, were the only people I really remembered from my original run at Pe2k. I became somewhat regular on the games boards, chat, role play and wifi league.

Around march of 2013, I was contacted by HKim through @Corey where I was informed of PXR and it's plans. At first I wasn't too pleased, but I knew that it had to happen. Kinda like putting a critically ill pet to 'sleep'.

I became active on PXR, and became a moderator. After that, I changed my name to The Operator, as it seemed somewhat more intimidating, and fueled current Slenderman obsession. A few months later, I became obsessed with the Skillet album and song Comatose, hence the name change. Truth be told, I am half tempted to go back to The Operator. Not sure.

Anyway, I became heavily involved in GCEA. These days you will only really find me VMing, GCEA, Chat and the occasional ORAS or XY post.
