Current DS Ultimate forums (as a member)
Before he was a moderator, TUK joined the DS Ultimate forums back on January 28, 2007, responding to an argument about whether the Big Boo/King Boo boss in Super Mario 64 DS was Big Boo or King Boo, agreeing with those posting that it was King Boo. He returned to DS Ultimate on February 20 of the same year and began posting as a normal member, and has been doing so since.
As a Moderator
Since becoming a Global Community Leader, TheUltimateKoopa had been one of the most active Global Community Leaders who had been sorting out the problems with DS Ultimate. He came up with the idea for the report button notice, he reduced wrong forum posting (although it still occasionally happens) and has been helping everyone manage the place peacefully. His moderator status was cut short on December 23 due to frequent use of offensive language.
Other Hobbies
TUK is a MIDI sequencer who has his own MIDI site (which was created on March 15, 2006) and has submitted MIDIs to VG Music (including my favourite music from Super Mario Land 2, the Pumpkin Zone theme) since 2002.
Trivia
- He is a great fan of the highly popular British soap, EastEnders, and has watched almost every single episode since around 1997, and of the estimated 2000-3000 episodes shown since, has probably missed a total of, no more than 100.
- Because he's in the same time zone, TUK is one of the moderators most often online at the same time as cheat-master30.
- He has a board here under his management from when it was meant to be a sub forum for discussing his MIDI sequencing. It is open to anyone who can find it.
- He's the quiz master of DS Ultimate.
- He has been on the internet since early January 2001, and has been a member of various different internet forums since as early as probably late 2001, or early 2002.
Some of his topics/posts from over the years, from various forums, are (note that TUK started using the name "(The) Ultimate Koopa" around March 2005):
