Hi I'm Zenox. My aliases include Poaster Toaster and Toast. I was a frequent editor at Zelda Wiki, being the best at referencing articles there, until the administrators and patrollers of that wiki began to refuse to patrol the Skyward Sword section of the wiki, as they did not want to spoil the game. Dabombster, another member of Zelda Dungeon, convinced them to auto-patrol the articles and told me to swap the links out to inappropriate ones. Because they were being auto-patrolled, it took awhile for them to notice that almost their entire Skyward Sword section was changed. I was then banned and laughs ensued.

And now I'm here. I will not do any such thing here, as I respect Zelda Dungeon and its Staff. (A large portion of it, at least)

That last sentence is no longer true. I was banned from the Zelda Dungeon forums due to a large amount of misunderstandings that ended against my favor, even after explanations despite the administrators being my friends. (at least most of them) I was temporarily banned, and complained to them that this was unjust and one of them agreed, ending my ban. The other admins heard about my unbanning and, instead of complaining to the admin that unbanned me, they permanently banned me. Somehow they thought it was my doing.

Dungeon Gaming LLC

I was a large contributor to the start of the Dungeon Gaming LLC. Before the LLC was created, there was simply just Zelda Dungeon. A few years ago, some of the members from Zelda Dungeon Forums created a skype group called Pokemon Dungeon where we discussed competitive Pokemon battling and battled each other. Months passed of enjoying this and one day a discussion broke out of how we should share our opinions and strategies via a website called Pokemon Dungeon. This was merely a joke at the time, but some of the more creative members of the group, and myself, began to work on the layout of the website. I was tasked with coding it, which inevitably led to its downfall.

Years passed and suddenly a discussion in the Zelda Dungeon Forum Chat arose about how we attempted to start this website. David, current webmaster of Pokemon Dungeon, jumped into this conversation and began discussing reviving this project, with him as the leader. Under his leadership, and Steve's artistic designs, Pokemon Dungeon arose from its ashes, with myself leading the Walkthrough writing. We don't provide competitive battling strategies, like we originally planned, but rather we provide top-notch walkthroughs for the games, much like Zelda Dungeon.

Mases heard about our project and watched our creation grow. Eventually he told us that he was planning on spreading ZD beyond just Zelda, and he was more than proud of us for doing it for him. He told us of his LLC idea and we were estatically on board. We kept behind the scenes, gaining a small amount of followers for our project, before Mases officially announced at ZD the Dungeon Gaming LLC. Suddenly members burst at Pokemon Dungeon.

I was one of the Administrators at the Pokemon Dungeon Forums, overseeing any minor changes, implementing and creating smilies, minor administrative tasks, etc. when the change occurred. Mases said how he wanted to create a "Dungeon Gaming Forums" rather than each have our own separate forums. I liked this idea a lot, but when the change actually occured, I lost all my standing at Pokemon Dungeon, as I was placed back as a normal member at the ZD forums, which is where the Dungeon Gaming Forums are now located. Eventually I slowly lost interest in Pokemon Dungeon and no longer went there. I remained in the Staff Chat, more as an advisor than an actual worker.

One day David was brainstorming a new method of creating Walkthroughs. Instead of tasking each individual to create an entire walkthrough themselves, he had the idea of tasking a team of workers at a few games to create the walkthrough. I jumped into this conversation full force, throwing out my ideas and creating Team Zenox to be tasked with the Black/White walkthrough. David wished to wait to begin rewriting the Black/White walkthrough until the updated layout is released.

During that time, I was banned from the Dungeon Gaming Forums as stated above. This lost my already dwindling interest in Pokemon Dungeon entirely. I gave up on working there, and now from time to time talk to David about its progress. I haven't seen any walkthroughs released since before I even began losing interest, so I can see them dying entirely in the future.
