it happened like this:
a long, long time ago, i wondered how old aglamians were, so then some 
girl called saera who had never posted before and as such was a total 
newbie said she was 14. obviously, all of us aglamians were very much 
delighted, because we weren't used to female beings in our newsgroup. 
anyway, so you started posting for a while and, since those days 
people had those huge .sigs with "holder of 20 whatever ng points" in 
it, it happened that parasite and me sort of stalked you into a little 
place called alt.dragons-inn, where somehow a discussion about agc was 
going on. i got interested and subscribed to AGC, posting moronic 
stuff like "waaaahhh!! i am crazy!! tsjakka!!! mwuahahaha!!". a few 
months and several crotchpotses later, agc people such as john f. 
ievins, atob and luke also came over to aglami. so yes, you were 
responsible, sort of.

btw, remember how ievins (ievins, not levins) used to ramble about 
religion all the time? if I'm not mistaken, he's now some sort of 
relief worker. imagine that. i'd rather have sheldon from the big bang 
theory comfort me.
