8ObiWan88

8ObiWan88 (AKA Obi) was a Legend who joined the LEGO Message Boards on October 27th, 2008. He had 29,958+ posts and 8 studs before the update. His avatar is a classic smiley with a mustache and a top hat. Obi started to post in November 2011. He was somewhat slow at first, and took two months to reach Artisan. After this, he sped up extremely, 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 posts in the Message Boards Forum and its subforum. He posted at an extremely fast rate, and has made over 6,000 posts in February 2012 alone.

Obi was given 3rd In-Command of the topic "Your Position in the MBs" by Life-is-good.

He also is founder of the growing topic "The Badges Office".

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

Obi is a Roman Soldier and has 30,635+ posts on the New MBs.

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 few days less than six months.
