Empire981

Empire981 (AKA Empire) is a user who joined the LEGO Message Boards on June 11th, 2007. He became Maniac on the old LEGO Message Boards in 2009, and was the 2nd user (1st male) to ever get the rank. He was also a very popular MyLEGO Network user. He lost his 8th stud to Eragon3443, and recently lost his 7th stud. His avatar is a white space helmet with blue sunglasses.



Sadly, Empire was a user who developed a reputation as a spammer. He retired from the MBs in October 2009 with 13,802 posts. It is uncertain why Empire retired, though most think it is that it may be because he was tired of people accusing him of spamming. CaptainBrickmaster pointed out that compared to today, Empire barely spammed at all, making accusations against him highly unfair. Today, only a few users are left who actually remember Empire. Some of those users include Rock-o-Ages, Alemas, and captainBrickmaster.

Trivia

 * Rock-o-Ages made a joke that he was actually Empire, and for a short time many believed him. Some people thought it was funny, some did not.
 * Empire was very active in the MLN Trades forum, and traded all sorts of items in exchange for Thornax. He is known for having collected hundreds of thousands of Thornax this way, the most of any MLN user ever.
 * Maniac Man.city1 and Legends Dude777477 and Eragon3443, while being newbies, used to look up to Empire.


 * Empire still has many existing posts on the MBs. One of them is located on the first page of "Advertise your MLN page!" in the MLN Trades Subforum.
