Genralaustin

Genralaustin (AKA GA) is a highly respected and well-known user. He achieved Legend on July 23rd in 2011, and was the third user to ever get the rank. GA has 8 studs and over 25,830 posts. He joined the LMBs on February 7th, 2008, the same day as Dude777477 and Man.city1. He has the 6th highest post count of any user on the MBs. One of Genralaustin's most helpful and popular topics is, "Your Position in the MBs Advanced”, located in the MB Forum. This topic allows you to find out which users are near you in post count. This topic is also a remake of an older version, created for the same reason and with a similar name. This is helpful for ranking up, and finding out who you can pass, and who can pass you.

GA is regarded as an MB Legend for having such a high post count, and for being very friendly to others.

GA retired on Sep. 28th 2011 and came back and posted once after that at the October 18th Mod Party. He still posts frequently, (A few times a day) but he still calls himself ‘retired’. He is now posting a lot in the Message Boards Quizzes topic for his game show, TECOTAL. But, he really doesn't post anywhere else. GA is active on this Wiki as well.

Genralaustin's Bio
Genralaustin started off just playing games on LEGO.com. After MLN came out, he started posting in the MLN Forum and MLN Trades Subforum on the LMBs. He soon began posting in the MB Forum, in MB Achievements, Your Position in the MB's, etc. GA then went semi-inactive after that. Soon he came back, and continued posting, mainly in the MLN, MB, and News forums. With the creation of the Ben 10 Forum, GA joined his first HQ - the Plumbers HQ. Soon after that, he joined the SP HQ and then joined a number of other HQs. He was then active in over 10 forums, and making well over 50 posts a day. He kept posting often for a good year and a half. He started TLGS and numerous other topics and things. GA reached Maniac on December 1st 2010, and then went on to reach Legend 7 months later. Sadly, around July 2011, GA started posting less, and started becoming inactive. He quit several HQs and topics, saying he was too busy, etc. He barely made any posts and got on the MB's once or twice a week. Then on September 28th, he posted his retirement speech, announcing he was leaving the MB's until early 2012.
