Hello TCGRevolution,
I'm Key and this is my introduction. This will be long but I incorporated some pictures in it to help you get through. Enjoy.
I first started playing YGO again when my friend in high school was talking and playing it, so I started studying on my own. After some time, I decided to create a Yahoo! Answers account to get this ruling question I had for a while solved. At the same time, I started answering questions about YGO - Deckbuilding, rulings, advice, etc. Soon, I became a top contributor and I was very proud - I didn't know what it took to become a top contributor back then.
I wasn't very good at any of those, as I was just a beginner myself. However, like any subjects, there is a learning curve. And magically, I started understand rulings in-and-out. After this point, I created an account for TCGPlayer to answer more ruling questions as well as ask more advanced questions to receive more appropriate responses.

My rulings improved even further under the guidance of D_Dasher and other ruling experts. I also got involved with the community - Contributing in discussion threads, posting decks for fixes, joining a team, etc. I decided to make a pojo account to answer more rulings because pojo seemed to have the most ruling experts. I wasn't wrong. My ruling skills was tremendously improved and I was considered as one of the most knowledgeable person in the community.
This is when DuelingNetwork was first launched. I heard about it but I didn't join until about 10 days after its release. At first it seemed like a really awesome site to duel against friends and such. But one day, my friends from Team Ninja decided to taunt me or so, which made me want to become an administrator.
My goal was:
The hiring process was very unorganized and took a long time. In the end, I was rejected by Atomic Nightmare because he just couldn't get to me. However, thanks to my good friend, who was a somewhat close friend to Black Luster Soldier - Creator of the site - Black Luster Soldier hired me himself. I started my life as an administrator and it didn't seem too bad. There were flaws but we worked with what we had.
Picture 2: One of the cool administrator situations we got into
DuelingNetwork improved as its forum improved as well. Let's fast forward to the time when things are a lot more organized. DuelingNetwork now implemented the "Call admin" function. I took lots and lots of calls. Even though when I took breaks, I'd still be #11 in the list of whoever answered the most calls. Soon enough, I was hired to Senior Administrator by my two good friends: TamA and The Detonator; I had the ruling knowledge exceeding others, and I was active enough to be the top #10 at times.

Like most people, as soon as I get lazy, it isn't easy to get back to working. I was pretty inactive as an administrator. At the same time, I was also struggling in school (kind of), and someone special occupied me. I decided to step down as senior administrator meanwhile maintaining my Super Moderator and Judge (War Adjudicator and Ruling Guru together) status on DuelingNetwork Forum. I never logged on afterwards to do work.
Now, almost one year has gone by and I'm off to college. No one is taking away my time, I decided to go back to the community. I came back as no one. Other than the old administrators, no one knew who I was, or my contribution to the community. Slowly, I managed my way to get the administrator status again and I did some work, but not much; surely however, I applied and interviewed for the War Adjudicator application, and I got it! Later that year, I stepped down again because something occupied me again.
And now, I remain a War Adjudicator on DuelingNetwork Forum with basic knowledge of DuelingNetwork administrator, and somewhat above average, but degraded ruling skills. Thank you for reading.

My goal was:
I'll become administrator for a few minutes just to ban my friends and I'll say thank you and get the account demoted.
