−	Since the early days of PSUPedia I have seen it grow into a site referenced as much as PSOW, a fact of which I am immensely proud.

−	~~And~~ my ~~interest in PSUPedia? I confess it isn't altruistic, not having much time for that particular branch of thought. PSUPedia works~~ on the basis of mutual self-learning, where everyone learns from each other, where everyone improves their knowledge of PSU using the many different perspectives of the contributors. But just as I have gained much from PSUPedia, I hope that everyone else too, has benefited from the site.
−
−	These days, I remain a SysOp here and have no plans to give up the position. Despite the additional powers I have the wiki mostly runs on the self-moderation of its users and while I can ban people and delete pages (and occasionally do, within the boundaries of common sense) I am not intrinsically above any other contributor on the wiki. I am also an op on the #phantasystar channel, a channel created to merge two... warring factions in IRC, and which has worked remarkably well. The address is irc.lunarnet.org:~~6668 #phantasystar if you are interested, but be warned that the channel is frequently off-topic and NSFW~~.

−	~~As for elsewhere in the PSU community, I am banned from both the official~~ forums and PSOW under my main account, the former for spamming troll memes such as 'Your concerns have been noted. Your account will be investigated, and you will receive a response within 48 hours.' and the latter because they don't seem to like the word [[Diad\|Diadu]] ~~much. I have alts on both forums which I occasionally post with~~, ~~but apart from the obvious reason that I'd just get rebanned if I revealed them, I enjoy posting incognito.

−	~~== Real life ==~~
−	In real life, I am Sam, a humble 21-year-old university student studying Journalism and French. I prefer the French side though, to be honest. Although I hear some interesting stories while court reporting for my portfolio...
−
−	~~Other than my studies and of course Phantasy Star, I enjoy video games in general (no surprise then) - with tastes ranging from games like Pokemon to stuff like Half-Life.~~ I'm also ~~an avid reader, in particular being a fan of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, although I do enjoy other fantasy works as well (yes, that includes Harry Potter).~~
−
−	~~As a student of Journalism, I'm also interested in the news and politics~~. ~~Politically I consider myself central, being more given to pragmatism than rigid ideological ideals~~. ~~Although if cynicism was a political ideology I'd probably be at the forefront of it.~~
−
−	~~As a student of French, I obviously speak the language to some degree, although it's far from being perfect.~~
−
−	If I haven't written much here about my real life, it's because it's about as interesting as all the other lives of people on this planet. For a complete stranger seeing this on the internet, I doubt it stands out much at all. C'est la vie.
