29) Vaerilis: "Was LordRaiden really the moderator/columnist from Sudhian Media?"
Update 1: OdiN says: "I used to be Senior Hardware Editor over at Sudhian and was with them since they were VIAHardware.
We did have one of our contributors use the name LordRaiden on the Sudhian forums. I don't know if the same person was the one who posted here on ATOT - though looking at the posts I don't see why it wouldn't be him as he does own the raiden.net domain and he mentioned it in his posts.
I don't know if he wrote any articles for Sudhian however...it's been a while since I did any work for them and I don't recall.
I never met the guy though and only chatted with him in IM a few times.
I gathered from some posts that there was some controversy over something, but a link to something involved in it was too old and the post is no longer there.
Found a few things...yeah I'd say it was probably him."
Update 2: MotionMan replied: "Hi Odi!!!
I am a moderator at Sudhian and I also sometimes write SFF reviews.
A user with the username LordRaiden was a moderator at Sudhian, then he wasn't, then he got banned (for reasons I am not at liberty to discuss).
As far as I recall, he was never a reviewer/writer for Sudhian.
MotionMan"

Update: nCred replies: "Yeah, he posted all the time, and now he has´nt visited since: Last Visited On: 07/16/2004 03:47 AM" :Q
Update 2, 20 January 2005: Skyclad1uhm1 resurfaced and posted the following in this thread:
"I got more and more depressed by reading in the news what humans were doing to eachother, and concluded that if I would keep feeding my hunger for news I would indeed get depressed to the level where I most likely would take the final step. I then decided for a while to stop reading any news for a while, including all the sites like ATOT on which news gets posted.
A few people from the RtCW clan I used to be in (and still am in, considering we never disbanded it) mentioned some ATOTers contacting them, so I decided to post on here. Just didn't get around to it until now.
My apologies for getting people worried, at the moment depression is not so bad that I'll be considering suicide as a way out. But I'm still careful with how much and what kind of news I read."

He had a wedding site set up and wanted to go to Hawaii(or someplace warm) and requested the ATOT effect to help him win. And I'm pretty sure 90% of the voters picked Alaska instead.

29) Vaerilis: "Was LordRaiden really the moderator/columnist from Sudhian Media?"
Update 1: OdiN says: "I used to be Senior Hardware Editor over at Sudhian and was with them since they were VIAHardware.
We did have one of our contributors use the name LordRaiden on the Sudhian forums. I don't know if the same person was the one who posted here on ATOT - though looking at the posts I don't see why it wouldn't be him as he does own the raiden.net domain and he mentioned it in his posts.
I don't know if he wrote any articles for Sudhian however...it's been a while since I did any work for them and I don't recall.
I never met the guy though and only chatted with him in IM a few times.
I gathered from some posts that there was some controversy over something, but a link to something involved in it was too old and the post is no longer there.
Found a few things...yeah I'd say it was probably him."
Update 2: MotionMan replied: "Hi Odi!!!
I am a moderator at Sudhian and I also sometimes write SFF reviews.
A user with the username LordRaiden was a moderator at Sudhian, then he wasn't, then he got banned (for reasons I am not at liberty to discuss).
As far as I recall, he was never a reviewer/writer for Sudhian.

Update: nCred replies: "Yeah, he posted all the time, and now he has´nt visited since: Last Visited On: 07/16/2004 03:47 AM" :Q
Update 2, 20 January 2005: Skyclad1uhm1 resurfaced and posted the following in this thread:
"I got more and more depressed by reading in the news what humans were doing to eachother, and concluded that if I would keep feeding my hunger for news I would indeed get depressed to the level where I most likely would take the final step. I then decided for a while to stop reading any news for a while, including all the sites like ATOT on which news gets posted.
A few people from the RtCW clan I used to be in (and still am in, considering we never disbanded it) mentioned some ATOTers contacting them, so I decided to post on here. Just didn't get around to it until now.
My apologies for getting people worried, at the moment depression is not so bad that I'll be considering suicide as a way out. But I'm still careful with how much and what kind of news I read."

He had a wedding site set up and wanted to go to Hawaii(or someplace warm) and requested the ATOT effect to help him win. And I'm pretty sure 90% of the voters picked Alaska instead. This might have been a wedding site or even just a trip, but I thought it was a honeymoon. Maybe someone with more elite searching skills than mine can find it.
