ZU History

Lozzie joined Zelda Universe on the forums in October 13, 2002 under the name loz5686. Very original name it was, as it was the abbreviation for Legend of Zelda and my birthdate, May 6, 1986.

Lozzie instantly befriended the member andi, who gave him the nickname he now currently uses today. Lozzie had the normal newbish qualities, but he didn't know any better back then.

In November 2002, Lozzie became the Mailbag Editor of Zelda Universe. Under his real name James, he was in charge of making sure a mailbag was released every so often. It started out slow, but after a while became a popular part of ZU.

Summer 2003, Zelda Universe suffered a huge blow in the form of duel hacking in the month of July. With the forums down and Lozzie's increased interest in IRC chats, Lozzie created the first unofficial ZU Chat Room. On and random server on the IRC Network and semi-advertising in the Temporary ZU Forums, Lozzie gained some chat users for the summer. The chat became popular over time, moving from the random server, to EFNet, to where it sits today on the TA-IRC Network (irc.zeldauniverse.net)

The mailbag ran biweekly from November 2002 til August 2003, when life kicked in and his internet life took a drastic hit. Lozzie was still active on ZU, but not as much as we was. He had become the moderator of the General Gaming and Entertainment sections, but his declining internet life was cutting that job out as well. Early in the fall, Lozzie became the unofficial award coordinator of the ZU Awards. He has been in charge ever since.

Most of 2004, Lozzie became very inactive. Graduation from High School, a full time job, and a long distance girlfriend killed his internet life considerably. Lozzie graduated high school in June 2004, and spent most of his summer working and spending time with his then GF.

In October 2004, Lozzie lost his girlfriend and also dropped out of college. Coindicently, he also became a super moderator of ZU the same month.

Lozzie is known to wander around the forums, coordinate the awards biannually, and idle in the Chat Room as well.
