In November 2007, Pikazec2012 started an election for the position of 'Forum President'. The President actually has no powers, but is still a great thing to be able to call yourself. Another election was held in February 2008, and every year since.

[edit] List of all Presidents:

Rushnerd - 2007

Rushnerd/Brain Candy - 2008

The Slimeinator/arch129 - 2009

Manny Cav announced the New Forum Order, with CoMe HeRe WhEn YoU aRe BoReD being the first "victim" of the NFO.
