LOL, classic "quiet or mama spank" moment.

Me? Long story. About what, nine years ago? The MUGEN engine was still hot with everyone and their mother, and I fancied myself making stuff for it. (This was when EZBoard was a respectable place to make a forum, mind.) Thus, I decided to join the biggest MUGEN site out there at that time, the MUGEN Dev Forum... But seeing as there were other forums on the EZ network I wanted to join as well, I decided to make a global account.
Thus, the painstakingly slow (I was in dial-up-land) name searching began. During the first two and a half hours (!!!) all variations I could think of of the Dark/Black Zero moniker were already taken. Finally, in a fit of rage, I decided to pair up my location with the initial number of the decimal numerical system, and (un)surprisingly, the name was free.

At first, I have to admit I resented the name a bit -- it was, honestly, slightly weird, if not outright lame. Even though my username was DominicanZero, I kept using other alts to identify myself. But over time, I grew to accept the name, and ended up even being fond of it. Thus, one of the better (un)known veterans of the MegaMan community was born.

Ever since then, I've kept the nickname, and it's stuck with me for more than... what, seven, eight solid years now?
