Paul of the West
paul@border-town.net

Paul and I have been friends since the sixth grade. Paul is currently perusing his master's degree in Florida, doing research on multi-core processing.

Paul actually maintains the server Border-Town runs on. He is also an administrator to the new forums, and has been a moderator on every iteration of the Border-Town forums for years. In fact, Paul was part of the original group of people who used to frequent the real life Border-Town with me which gave the site its name.

Paul also wrote some riddles for the site around 2003-2004.

If you're hungry for more Paul action, you can go to one of the two mini-sites that were produced for him over the years. And by "over-the-years", I mean back in 2001-2003 when things were cooler and writing pages on the Internet still felt new somehow.

PAUL IS AWESOME - Paul is awesome, and this page proves it. This was a secret link from the Cheese forum's banner back on the old Ez-Board forum years ago. Thank God it was saved and you can see it now.

The I Hate Seth Computer Show Page - This was hilarious at the time. It won't be to you probably, but that's never stopped me from boring a stranger with a joke before! Anyway, back in 2002, we had a forum thread where in we described a ficticous television show based on Seth's hatred for his computer, as he would often start threads complaining about issues he was having with the device. This joke quickly snowballed until we were soon describing the show as one of the best we'd ever seen and we're lauding it with compliments. When Paul chimed in with his own fake accolades Matt accused him of being a vicious liar and linked to that page as proof, despite the fact that Matt himself had clearly registered it on Tripod and created it in the span of a few hours. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that, at the time, the web-page joke seemed like the pinnacle of human existence. In fact, now that I think of it, I'm not sure it isn't.
