Introduction
KuRIoS
Who are you: Hi guys.
My name is Rune I am 23 years old and living in Denmark. I currently study for my bachelor degree in physiotherapy. Anyways lets’ move on to what may interest you.
My name on the forums is KuRIoS, a nick that I have used ever since I got into counter-strike 1. Counterstrike 1, a game I spent way too much time on, like I did with WoW when I was raiding. I played counterstrike to the extent that we were ranked 3rd on clanbase - however I got bored of playing legit and started looking into hacks.
I got accepted on a cheating clan where we coded our own aimbots and owned most, cheaters and noncheaters. I worked on the vectors for the aimbots.
My CS career ended quite promptly in 2002 where I went to Australia as an exchange student, best year of my life, was quite awesome.
I came back to Denmark early 2003 and started working until I was ready to start my education on Business College.
I started playing WoW, not longer after its release and my first opinion was "Ha-ha I am not going to play this game much". However at lvl 30 I was sold. I leveled to 60 and raided like a mad, heard about bots from my old friends and then started going into the more shady stuff about WoW and I was not long after a Glider fanboy so to speak.
I then started looking into various sites, the first site was HS, the next was EoN, and then I heard about MMOwned – my home.
When/Why did you join MMOwned: I joined MMOwned in April 2006 after noticing that one of my guides had been copy pasted by someone called Matt on the site. So I wanted to check the place out. Not long after did I start to contribute to this magnificent new site.
After having been on MMOwned for three weeks or so I started talking to the admin, Matt, seeing as I was the member who had the most reputation already at that stage. I helped matt with a few things/exploits/guides and we started to talk more. After about 6 weeks I was made supermod. MMOwned had about 5.000 members at this stage. So really we were quite small.
Time went on and many banned WoWaccounts later I suddenly noticed my name being red when I posted in shoutbawx together with 25 unread PMs – My first thought was “hmm I must have had a lot to drink tonight.” Yes, Matt had made me admin of MMOwned.
What is your job(s) on MMOwned currently?: My current job on MMOwned is to appoint new mods and managing staff, (we will find you if we need you, not the other way around) fixing userproblems, username requests and just overall forum maintenance. I am also the one that is being consulted about expansions on MMOwned, contests and basically every possible doubt that there may be. Another difficult task is looking after our staff, not that they have to be kept in a short leash, but sometimes we need to tell them that what they are doing is not ok, this is a horrible job as all of our mods are doing it out of their good will and are not getting paid to keep MMOwned clean. Luckily it’s very rare that I have to step in and yell.
Unfortunately, being a staff member takes a lot of your time and is quite stressful. Therefore I have not had the time to create quality posts like I used to however, if I see something good, then I will post it.
In what sections do you have your strengths?: I believe that my strengths lies within the botting area of World of Warcraft, I have had a great experience with both Glider and in particular OpenBot, my favorite bot – hurry up Lax and fix ISXWarden already please. I have written newbie proof guides for OpenBot since none existed at the time, guides that I often hear helped a lot of people.
I just started using PPather with Glider, seeing as OpenBot is down so I should soon be able to help out users again when I’m once again up-to-date with the functions of Glider.
Any last comments?: Today I heard someone say in shoutbox “WoW you guys actually managed quite well to knock down all the competition and make MMOwned as big and successful as it is.” To which my reply was that he was horribly wrong. Matt and I may have been the faces of MMOwned in the eyes of people. However it is you guys, the members of MMOwned that has knocked down the competition. It is you guys who have been absolutely extraordinary in posting quality content here which has drawn more and more users to our site. Since the humble start when I joined as member number 1,126, to an incredible 307,347 that we have today. Keep up the good works guys.
More staff "histories" should be up soon.

reason i could speak with him in the shoutbawx was that it was my old mmowned account.
