Hanzo works on Discourse!
From http://blog.discourse.org/2013/02/the-discourse-team/
As Robin and I worked over several months on fleshing out a prototype, we got to the point where we needed some early external feedback to ensure Robin and I weren’t in off some consensual reality distortion field. So I involved another friend of mine who was deeply embedded in online culture for as long as I had known him – Shawn “Hanzo” Holmes.

I deny any connections with this article.

Reality distortion field is alive and well.
-
And what about this dude?
-
Enlighten me. What does "hanzo" mean? Is it a variation of "ninja"?
-
You haven't seen the terribad articles on TDWTF from "Hanzo" that makes him sound like a bad storytelling ninja in the night, when he's not quoting from the Book of Five Rings?
-
Not to forget, one of his stories inspired PJH's avatar choice on the old forums!

I have a terrible memory for names, Arendor.

That's the most creative yet. Normally it's Aranator, Arntor, Arantar, Aranatar. Or these days, Question Mark.

Hanzo was so bad I actually looked forward to new stories to see the comments
-
Reminds me of Mandatory Fun Day. I actually liked when they had MFD. The parodies in the comments were awesome.
Bring back MFD!

That post also reveals that @<o/>sam worked at Stack Exchange. It says that Jeff hired him there, so he wasn't a co-founder, but it's information, people. Information!

Reading is a barrier to being a ninja samurai.

I still have my Forumwarz account, that I actually paid money for.
@eviltrout please give me another 10 years to finish chapter 2. I swear I'll get to it one of these days!

So do I. I'd forgotten all about that.

My goal is to keep it running as long as possible.

Didn't help much, it seems...

Come on, at least show a nested quote so people don't think I actually said that!

I'm rather disgusted by your remark, you and Robin where way of into a different universe!

@Arantasauresrex?

"Can you ever have enough Canadians on a project? I don’t think so."
Double negative compliments?

One of those forum communities was Something Awful. It was one of the first places I asked, because I figured if I could convince those guys, I could convince anyone. The crowd there is uh, er … tough, to put it mildly.
Wonder what would've happened if he came to TDWTF first...
-
Do you really believe he took any input from the general community?

He might. If we ever meet in person.

I read "if we ever meet in prison". Coincidence? I think not.
