Top | Biography | Interests | My Future

Well, this is me Tom and you may all know me by my old username Catfire, but I got that changed now so that people might finally start calling me by the name that I much prefer. I'm 16 and from Manchester in England - I support the greatest football team in the world, Manchester United, and the picture is me with a bottle of Becks, listening to the last 5 minutes of Chelsea vs Arsenal which secured United's Premiership victory in the 06/07 season. I've lived in Manchester all my life, and I have the Scorpio star sign, as my birthday is November 11th. I'm also an army cadet as anyone who visits the Vice City Stories board will know since Shane decided to put up that picture of me.

I have a lot of interests. As well as the usual stuff like going out with mates and going out to do new things, I've grown a large interest with the way computers work, including coding, scripting and bypassing things. I don't know why, but I find it a very good thing to do. I also have interests in graphics design and I've worked on many projects using Fireworks gradually getting better and better. You'll be able to see some of my better projects later on.

So what am I to do after I have collected my GCSEs next August? Well, I have a lot of ideas but I'm not quite sure. I know for sure that I'll be going to college, then possibly University. Afer that the future is unclear. Self employment? Army? Pilot? There's lots of things I have considered, however I still have absolutely no idea what I'll be doing.

Over my time on Neoseeker, I have come to make many friends and there are so many friendly people that I couldn't list them all, so I decided to list all the ones on my current list in alphabetical order. If there's any pictures of them around, I'll also link to those as well as their profile.

03phigg - a person whom I know personally, as he attends my school, and when you get to know him he's an all round great guy. Shame he only posted for one day.

Abe 92 - another great guy who attends my school. Ignore the Chicago thing - he doesn't really live there; he's just bluffing. He never posts either.

ChiroVette - well, where to start about Chiroman? What a great guy he is! I'll try to sum it up in a sentence or two. A New York civillian, who is probably one of the greatest mods on the site. He has loads of experience and is willing to help out anyone with problems. Also he's good for a laugh over PM too. Possibly more famous for his huge muscles, and yes there are pics, so check here.

curious Gourge - this guy I have seen around a few times and also goes by the username ChickMagnet07 or something like that. Good for a chat on MSN.

Iconic - always makes for a good chat on MSN, and he seems to be pretty cool on the forums too. An overall great guy and certainly lives up to his username!

Infinite - he's a great guy to talk to and he is a regular on the Smackdown! boards. He really helps me out a lot on the SvR08 board which I moderate and he's overall a really nice person.

Jay_Z - an attention whore if there ever was one, always trying to get his name in the GTA IV CWM title. Just kidding, although that is kinda true he can be a great guy, funny, witty and good to talk to.

jespomo - before he got promoted to Loungin', he was the PSP action section mod and he helped me back when I first became a mod. When I bother to talk, he makes a good conversation on MSN too.

Kjgmusic - I was always aspiring to be Vice City Stories mod, and before I finally got it, Kjg's was the action section mod and he helped me achieve what I wanted so badly. But then he got promoted to Loungin' too. I'm seriously wanting to try out the PSP action section mod spot and see where it gets me.

metaphit - I used to see this guy a lot for my first few months, and he was a good guy, but unfortunately I haven't seen him around recently.

Motorway Maniac - he registered back in August '06, and his post count shot straight up. He came up with some very good pre-release ideas for Grand Theft Auto IV, and he seems to be a very nice guy.

mtb - mtb is a really cool guy, and if I'm honest I couldn't tell that he's from the Netherlands because his grammar and his ability to speak English often shows up those of people who use it as their first language. Good to see that he made the moderating team and makes for a good chat on MSN too.

Seung2 - an overall nice guy, and fellow member of the Hitman NeoPortal, and he seems to be very hard working and dedicated.

Shane - a true n00b if ever there was one, or at least on MSN. He describes me as a virus because every time he talks to me he has the urge to act like a n00b. Not my problem. Seriously though, he is a great genuine guy and he's dedicated to his portal work and he definitely deserves one day to be a mod. If you want a pic, look here!

Supernouva - in early 07 he was my lord and master in the Neo Slave Auctions, and he made me do all sorts of things which I didn't like, but I respect him.

The Getaway fan 14 - Not quite sure how he ended up on my friends list, but I see him around a lot, and he seems like a really friendly guy.

the knowledge - I don't see this guy much any more, although I used to see him a lot on the GTA forums. He's a great guy, and as the name suggests has a lot of knowledge.

The Shape - I see this guy around from time to time and get along well with him. Still not sure how he got on the list, but he is... Still, I suppose he deserves it.

ulitmate taz - apart from the fact that this guy seems to stalk me around boards trying to beat my post count, he's a very helpful person and is always willing to help me out when I need a hand with the VCS forum.

VeGiTAX2 - one of the site's supermods, VeGi has always been extremely helpful to me and he deserves to be on here. But he wasn't at first until I discovered that I was on his list. But, if you have any real problems on the site, VeGi is probably one of the best people to go to.

Venom - Venom is a great guy and an excellent mod, and I hope we will be seeing plenty more of him around the forums. A great guy to chat with on MSN too.

Verdant_Abyss - the lord of the San Andreas myths, Verdant has been on my list right from the very start. That's over a year! I've been annoyed with him a couple of times, but we made up and we're still friends.

Vito Raliffe - Vito is another friendly, helpful guy, and he was the guy responsible for getting me added to the GTA Neoportal, which I am now staff on. Nice one, Vito!

Will - Will and I used to own our own forum together, and I am currently working on new custom software for it, and the link will be here as soon as we're ready. Anyway, Will and I get along quite well, and he's a good guy.

Here is a list of all the responsibilities I have held on Neoseeker since I joined in March 2006 in order of achieving them. I'm hoping to make this list slightly more full as I spend more time on Neo, but considering I've only been here a year, this is pretty decent.

Here are all my favourite forums around Neo. Not loads, but I think these are the best there are around the site. But that's my opinion.

Grand Theft Auto IV [PS3] - Modded by Chiro the legend, this board should show a lot of activity in the months and possibly even years to come. Perhaps Chiro will need a co-mod? Haha, he's already had people asking or hinting him, but we all know who's good for the job. Just kidding. But, I hope to see this forum nice and lively closer to the game release. Good luck to you modding this one, Chiroman!

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories [PS2] - I rarely visited this one, but GTA forums always have a good atmosphere around them, so I added it to my favourites. Liberty City Stories is a great game, and the forum is really helpful if you have any problems, so it's a shame it died out so quickly. No hopes of it being brought back either. I hate it when GTA forums die.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas [PS2] - Back when I was newly registered, this was probably one of my favourite forums, but as time moved on so did I. To GTA IV. Now the forum is kinda getting spammed up by newbies saying stuff like "i saw teh bigfut!". This was the busiest board on the site at one point, but it's dying with the game. However with any luck it should remain active for a good while yet. Modded by the one and only Chiro!

Grand Theft Auto Social Forum - Well, this is like a version of Loungin' created especially for the GTA community, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it turns out in the end. Good look with the modding to the three of you. =D

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City [PS2] - This one was a bit before my time on Neo, but I'm fairly sure that this was just as good a forum as any Grand Theft Auto board. It must have been fairly busy too to get so many pages of threads. I've only posted in there a few times though, as it was dead when I arrived. Anyway, rest in piece to that forum, shame to see another dead Grand Theft Auto board.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories [PS2] - I flooded this place badly for about 3 days, and then it died because news got out about IV and everyone left. So I'm still top poster there by a mile even though I haven't posted there for a long time. Chiro got the mod spot (that was mine you bastard! Only joking), and good luck to him, even though there's nothing to mod after the IV trailer was released.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories [PSP] - Well when this first opened Kjg was action section mod and I helped him out, then he got promoted to Loungin'. Then that handsome guy known as Tom got the mod spot on 28th January 2007. Then jes the action section mod got promoted to Loungin'. Anyway, enough about conspiracies, a great friendly board which I'm the mod of, and it's worth popping in and visiting sometime.

Hitman: Blood Money - I never understood why the Hitman boards never quite took off. It's a great game series and it's fairly popular. The board was a really nice place to visit before it died off completely. Such a wonderful series deserves much more credit than it gets. I'm fairly sure that if you like this game you'd have a lovely little community to welcome you.

HTML/CSS & NeoHome Help Forum - <a href="http://www.neoseeker.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i.neoseeker.com/d/sm_bl_logo.gif" alt="Neo Logo" title="Neo Logo" /></a>. Don't have a clue what that means? I was like that many years ago, but this forum will give you all the help you need to build a NeoHome and learn HTML, XHTML and CSS.

Loungin' - Not saying that I actually like Loungin'. In fact I very rarely go in there, but it is good for attracting spam and bitch fights.

NeoPortal Requests and Planning - As a portal staff member on a couple of portals, I take interest in some of the upcoming projects which we are to see in the NeoPortal system, so I added this so could keep frequently up to date. Myself currently being on the Grand Theft Auto and Hitman portals, I naturally take interest in the system, and I hope that I'll be able to work for pleny of other portals in time to come.

Resident Evil 4 [PS2] - This is the board where I made my first post as a member. It was a rather lively place at the time, and it had two moderators and most people who visited there were regulars. God only knows how it still needs a moderator though, with a PPD that low! It was a nice place back in its day, but it's past tis time now, and it is pretty much dead.

Resident Evil 5 [PS3] - I visited here a lot when the board was first created, but I kinda lost track, and I might go back and start posting there again some time in the future depending on how things go. But for now, I don't really go in there and post at all so all I can do is describe what the place was like last time I checked up, and at the time it was quite a good atmosphere.

UK and Ireland - Well, it used to just be the UK forum, but that was months ago. Now it's the UK and Ireland forum, good for Brits like me to have a chat with other Brits and see if there's anyone living close to me visiting and posting. I've noticed a few people just a couple of miles from me up here in Manchester. This is certainly a great place to visit for some of Britains hottest topics!

Web Coding Forum - $sql = "INSERT INTO `$tbl` (`date`)VALUES(now())"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());. If you don't know what that means then you need to learn MySQL. Check this forum for any help with all sorts of codes, including PHP, MySQL, ASP and JavaScript.

WWE Smackdown! vs Raw 2008 - Well, I was never a regular on WWE forums, but this one I have tried to help out on, and it seems like a nice friendly place, so I may stick around. I also had a shot at modding there on a three week temporary spot, and then ended up getting full time before my temp cover was up. This is probably an adventure for me since I rarely step foot outside the GTA forums, and look where it gets me!

WWE Smackdown! vs Raw 2009 - This game is coming out for six platforms, and on four of the forums I got the first post. Anyway, after being a bit adventurous last year, I decided that I liked the SmackDown! community and I've started visiting this forum as well now. In fact, I have a bit too much to say at times, like I have in several forums.

None - I'm a good boy. Although, I have handed out a few in my time to other people.

Top | Videos | Images | NeoHomes

As you can see here, these are links to all my best projects, whether they be images or video. I couldn't find all my best, but I tried to find as many as I could.

CatfireNeoseeker @ YouTube - I've made so many videos now that there are too many to link to from here, so I've just linked to my YouTube profile instead where you can find all the video projects I have made. Be sure to check back because I've started uploading regularly now, so you'll have plenty to keep yourself entertained for a while. I've got lots of projects in the pipeline, and I also do vids by request, so if you have any ideas then ask me and I'll make it for you. No promises they'll be very good, but I like doing a variety.

[1] [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Well, I have now started to create my own little empire of NeoHomes. I create NeoHome templates by request now, of course what goes in them is entirely the person's choice. To get a NeoHome template created by me, simply send me a PM telling me what themes/colour scheme you would like, links to any images you would like and of course the content you would like. When I have a good idea of what you want I will set to work on a code for you to put in your home, which I will PM to you when finished. This can help you get a NeoHome as you like it even if you have poor HTML skills, as it can all be done for you. All I ask in return is that you keep the "Template copyright © 2007+ Tom. All Rights Reserved." text at the very bottom of your home. Think you're interested in having a NeoHome coded for you? Then click here and fill in the message with a clear description of what you want including any text and images you want in it. Status: Unavailable

I think Shane was the first person to see my new layout NeoHome completed, and if not he was most definitely the first to comment on it. Originally, Shane described my Neohome as "COMPLETELY SEXASAURUS" before deciding that he should look at it first. Here's what he said in the end: "That's awesome! Love the layout. San Andreas-esque ftw" - Shane

I couldn't think a smart arse comment to make about this comment so I won't bother making one, and I'll just make a bit of a space filler to make up the space which needs to be taken by the comment. Anyway, Emily said this: "It's a bit spiffy tbh :L I'm too lazy to ever bother doing anything like that, but it's all fancy and like... goes together well xD very nice ^___^". - vanillagigglez

There I was minding my own business, when suddenly, and very randomly I got a guestbook signing with this comment written in it. Completely out of the blue, but a very nice thing to say. Thank you, tidus04, I'll be sure to sign back one day, when i have a stamp again! "Just wanted to say that you have a very impressive Neohome and looks greats ^___________^" - tidus04

Well, it's been a while since I got a comment on my Neohome, but they're still welcome, so here's what BRADEN had to say. "I think your NeoHome is very cool, although I think there is too much of the same colour. Different shades on the outer parts would make it look neater." - BRADEN

I always appreciate comments on my work, and this comment is no exception. It's always good to know that someone has something good to say about my home. "I like It... I wish i knew how to edit mine X__X" - Alieninvasion06

It seems that I'm suddenly being inundated with comments about my Neohome. Perhaps there's some kind of conspiracy which I don't know about? "Wow Tom, your Neohome is so nicely laid out! I wish I knew enough HTML to do so."
