What the hell is a FUQ?
Frequently Unasked Questions. I stole the idea from GWAR.

The way you spell Z-R0E is retarded, you're trying to be a 1337 HaX0r!
The spelling of Z-R0E was kind of out of necessity (I guess), but it definitely wasn't trying to be "cool" or something. So, let's take a very long trip down memory lane. Start out in elementary school.

When I was in elementary school, I would start these "clubs". They changed every couple weeks, and were comprised of just me and the rest of my nerdy outcasted friends. There was the Aliens club (as in Al()ens, with Ripley), a horror-movie monster club, just whatever the "flavor of the week" was when we were kids. The last one I made, and the one that lasted the longest, was a Megaman club. I've been a fan of the Blue Bomber since Megaman 1, and when Megaman X came out I fell in love with it. There were about six of us in the club, and we all took names based on Megaman characters. I took Zero, because I thought he was rad. We would always call each other by these names, even going as far as signing our homework with it (I'm sure it drove our teachers insane).

After the club had been going for about a month, a number of us were called into the principal's office. We were told we had to stop it immediately, because it was considered "gang activity". I had gotten a referral because I was the "leader". Although we had become accustomed to calling each other by the club name, it was easy to break the habit when you're calling someone "Magnet Man". However, "Zero" was a lot more "natural" in comparison, and the name kind of stuck.

As time went on, I would use "Zero" for whatever asked for a name. If I was playing Zelda, I'd name Link Zero. If a game let me rename my character, it got named to Zero. Street Fighter II and the reign tournament fighters was just starting up. Since they only allow you 3-digits to sign your name, I used ZRO (Zee Roe), and soon after the o changed to a zero. When I started getting into computers, needless to say "Zero" was taken on every chatroom and such, so ZR0 became Z-R0E and that's where we are today.

Most my friends just shorten it to Z. A lot of them refer to me as Z when we're together offline (in real life) as well. A lot of my mail (as in Post Office mail) is sent to Z-R0E. It's pretty much become that only my family calls me by my real name. Because of that, I've also grown to hold the use of my name as a sign of 'intimacy'. I don't call your mother "mom", that's reserved for you. You don't use my real name, because that's reserved for my family.

You're obsessed with black & red because you're emo!
Far from emo, but you may be right on the obsessed part. I might be obsessed with things being black & red (my site, my hair, my computer, my clothes, my shaving razor, etc), however it has nothing to do with being "emo" nor trying to be a "baddass". I just really like the way red & black look together. It's nothing more than that. I've dug their combination since I was a child, before terms like "emo" were even around.

Will you make my website?
Are you going to pay me? Making websites takes up my time, time that could be spent towards entertainment. So unless you have an interesting website idea in which I would find creating to be entertaining, I don't work for free. Whether it be monetary payment or the exchange of favors, you need to give me something to make my use of time worth while. That also means how much it will cost (or what it will take) will vary simply based on my mood and what else I have going on in my life. Some times I'm more easily entertained than others.

Is it true if someone uses words like "u" instead of "you", "2" instead of "too", etc, they won't be allowed to join?
Partially, yes. I'll tolerate the occassional short hand like that, but if that's all you use on your sign up application, then yes, there is a big chance you won't be approved. Here's an example of what's not okay.
"hey umm i really wanna goin ok and i am SORRRRRRRRRRRY i dont spell proply for u lol so can i join?"
Yes, that is a real reply I recieved, and no, they weren't allowed to join.

You're addicted to WoW and need to quit.
I am not addicted to WoW. I'm allergic to boredom. Entertainment takes a very high priority in my life, and it just happens that WoW is a cheap, convenient, and long lasting form of entertainment. If WoW wasn't here, I'd be spending my time doing something just as relatively pointless, and fun. Just as I did before WoW, and will do after WoW.

"My last name is Akbar which then turned into = Kadabra = Now my nick is = Alakazam, beat that Z." Seems like a step down from Akbar if you ask me.

I could kill a Person to have a Nickname like "Magnet Man".
