History
Beginning: SpongeBob SquarePants Board (2006)
Originally, talonmalon333 found TV.com while searching for information and news about SpongeBob SquarePants. Upon joining a few months later, he became a regular on the SpongeBob SquarePants forum, creating reviews (which no longer exist) and posting on the threads. The first user that he added onto his friend list was fierycloud76. However the first member that he actually considered to be a friend was SpongeSebastian, who was already a veteran member at that time.
Yu Yu Hakusho forum|Yu Yu Hakusho Board (2007)
In year 2007, talonmalon333 visited the SpongeBob SquarePants forum less, and began visiting the Yu Yu Hakusho forum more often. There, the first user he grew to like was CableGuy15, although the two once shared a rivalry. At this time the two of them had many arguments pertaining to their different beliefs. Over time they became great friends. Another rival of talonmalon333 during this period was deckzone3000, who also turned into his friend.
While on this board, and from conversations on blogs and other things, talonmalon333 also grew to become great friends with ex-TV.com member ensatsu-ken. They became good friends from sharing similar interests in television, and from introducing each other to things.
Death Note Bord: The Clan (2008)
In 2008, talonmalon333 continued visiting the Yu Yu Hakusho forum for a long period of time. However due his growing interest in the Death Note anime and the fact that the Yu Yu Hakusho forum was slowly dying, talonmalon333 switched forums. He, along with a few other regulars on that board, created the Death Note clan. This was a group of members that nicknamed themselves after main characters from Death Note, and got icons to show it. talonmalon333 became "Near", the antagonist of Death Note's second arc. Other members of the group were Rainvainz ("Light"), Ls_silence and Twisted-Alien ("L"), wataris_house ("Watari"), lstinwonderland ("Misa"), StewieZim101 ("Mello"), Matt_Dead ("Matt"), and Fourth_God ("Teru Mikami"). After ensatsu-ken left TV.com and summer ended, talonmalon333 became a full time member of the Death Note clan.
Departure (2008-2009)
At the end of December, talonmalon333 left TV.com, creating a blog saying goodbye. This was due to the forums he visited were dying out around this period. He visited the site once during this period to post a blog, but this was only to check in with some of his friends.
Return (2009)
Finally, in March, talonmalon333 visited the site again on his birthday. Due to his growing interest from viewing some of the forums, talonmalon333 decided to remain on the site. He visited many of his old forums. He often spent time making blogs about video game comparisons, and began making movie reviews (although only two were made). He also made a blog celebrating his three year anniversary on the site.
Yu Yu Hakusho Forum: Death
On October 10, 2009, talonmalon333 made a thread on the Yu Yu Hakusho forum declaring the forums "death". This is because it has been abandoned by nearly everyone, including its editor. Possible reasons why are because regulars on the forum have been banned, and that there is nothing more to discuss.
For the thread, talonmalon333 invited many regulars from the "old days" to respond on the thread and give their words of commemoration. Among the invited members were ensatsu-ken, CableGuy15, deckzone3000, spiritwave, and sphinx_vampire.
Though the forum has been officially declared dead, talonmalon333 and CableGuy15 have recently discussed the possibility of reviving it. On February 12, 2010, however, it seems to have been confirmed that they will not be.
Banning
A show titled Battle Wars had an abandoned forum, which was then turned into a war board where users simply joked around. For fun, talonmalon333 decided to review the series, but the review wasn't serious. When the mods finally found the war forum, all of its users were given a suspension.
The message he received stated that he was suspended for seven days. But soon, it was discovered that talonmalon333 was banned by etong87, along with the other users of the war forum.
Thus, on November 7, 2009, talonmalon333 banned. However, his presence hasn't completely vanished. He continued to appear on the boards without posting under the user name. On July 20, 2010, he discovered that, through GameSpot, it is possible to continue posting blogs on TV.com. Since then, talonmalon333 has been posting blogs occasionally to keep his presence on the site alive.
Voo_Bopo
| Voo_Bopo Icon |
talonmalon333 also has a side username on TV.com, named Voo_Bopo, which he created after being banned in order to occasionally post on TV.com. He created it originally under the guise of a new user wanting to become a regular on the SpongeBob and American Idol forums. It wasn't until many months later, where he revealed himself. As of now, talonmalon333 uses this user name extremely rarely, due to low activity on TV.com.

Yu Yu Hakusho: Class System
During 2007-2008, when talonmalon333 and Cableguy15 grew to be great friends, they began to create class systems for the characters in Yu Yu Hakusho. They used letters, along with numbers, to rank how powerful the characters were. This led to ensatsu-ken's annoyance. Because of that, many joking arguments began between the three, where they would rank each other using the power rankings. For example, talonmalon333 considered himself to be an S+ (the strongest kind), and considered ensatsu-ken and CableGuy15 both to be an E- (the weakest).
As of February 12, 2010, both talonmalon333 and Cableguy15 have retired from class/power theorizing.
