Genralaustin/Archive

Genralaustin (AKA GA) is a well-known Legend who joined the the LEGO Message Boards February 7th, 2008, the same day as dude777477 and man.city1. He achieved the final rank on July 23rd, 2011, and was the third user to ever get it. GA is currently inactive with 25,959 posts and 7 studs. He has the 12thhighest post count of any user on the LEGO Message Boards right now. 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, getting studs, finding out who you can pass, and who can pass you. Unfortunately, it tends to have quite a bit of spam.

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 hasn't posted much since then.

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 LEGO Message Boards. He soon began posting in the MB Forum, in MB Achievements, Your Position in the MBs, 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 MBs once or twice a week. Then on September 28th, he posted his retirement speech, announcing he was leaving the MBs until early 2012.
