A long time ago, on a Dragonball Z Fanfiction website far away, I went by the name "Android 17". After a while of being on that forum, I won a couple awards and started talking with the more respected members of the website. They all had some kind of cool descriptor before their name, like "Incredible" or "Immortal". So I went with "Limitless Android 17". When Mike made AL and got me to come over, I dropped the "Android 17" since it wasn't strictly a DBZ fan site, leaving just "Limitless".

No, it was older than PN, although I did go there too before Mike made AL and I became a resident there. Knew a lot of those guys, at least tangentially, especially from the Momentum days.

Unrivaled was another, but the one I was from, and I believe Mike was from, was called dbz-fan.net

Super old school. xD

i'll bet, i know that sentiment is shared with a few other RPers from that time

though i'd wager most of them have moved on in life at this point, which is kinda sad, since sparring/RPing brought them all together

Limitless is actually from Da Black Goku.

I think reading DBZ scans on dbz-fan was the first mango I read online.
