8ObiWan88

8ObiWan88 (AKA Obi) is a user who joined the LEGO Message Boards on October 27th, 2008. He currently has the rank Viking (which he was the 3rd to get) with over 31,592 posts and over 500 likes received. His avatar is a classic smiley with a moustache, a top hat, black jacket and peg leg. Obi started to post in November of 2011. He was somewhat slow at first, and took two months to reach Artisan. After this, he sped up a lot, and reached Maniac in another two months, exactly 30 days after he had reached Old Timer. ObiWan roleplays in a lot of forums, but also posted in the Message Boards Forum. He posted at an extremely fast rate, and made over 6,000 posts in February 2012 alone.

He also is founder of the topic The Badges Office.

Obi was inactive for a few months, but returned in September 2012.

Accusation
Since Obi was so fast, many users accused him of being a duplicate account of Eragon3443, but this accusation has been discredited.

Goals
Early in 2012, ObiWan posted a new goal in MB Goals, which was to make all of his posts at least two sentences. This is because he became worried that he was spamming too much.

Since then, the quality of his posts has increased, and he no longer posts one word comments. This may mean he has to slow down too much to reach his other goal.

Obi wanted to reach Legend by Friday, May 11th, which would be exactly 6 months since he became active, thus becoming the fastest ever user to get from Apprentice to Legend. On Wednesday, May 9th, Obi achieved this goal, and did succeed in becoming the fastest user to reach Legend, in just a couple days less than six months.
