NFX is a relative newcomer to the Gametechmods community, having first downloaded Robot Arena 2 in August 2009, and joining the GTM Forums just two days after. Following a brief departure from the forums for unknown reasons, he returned in April 2010, and started to become one of the forum regulars.
Currently, he tends to offer insights into the newer members' bots, covering most of the simpler aspects, such as chassis management and basic glitching, leaving the more experienced members, such as Naryar and Pwnator to go into more detail about things like efficiency and hitpoints of components.
He has a Stock showcase here and a DSL showcase here. Despite their popularity amongst some users, he hates DSL Flail Shell Spinners with a passion, mostly due to the large potential for them to create a Havok Explosion when a weapon or flail is knocked off. He also occasionally builds some more humorous robots when Builder's Block sets in, recently building a fully mobile robot BBQ, inspired by a comment made by JoeBlo.
In the more off-topic sections of the forum, he has become known for both his skilful use of the image editing program Paint.NET, with which he created both his signature and his avatar, as well as his slightly adverse sense of humour. He has a tendency to make jokes about most things in the off-topic sections, and sometimes makes references to RA2 as well, though occasionally when it's not that appropriate. An example of this can be seen here. He has also made a number of 'MS Paint Bots', which were well-received by others.
He has come under some criticism for creating the 1000 Pages Thread, sometimes shortenened to 1KP, which he claimed was a place where members could spam freely, and not clutter up the other topics. Currently it has reached around 90 Pages.
