Hi, I'm Nick, and I'm your friendly, neighborhood website founder, writer, and forum administrator. I competed in forensics for 4 years at Holy Ghost Prep and now I go back there weekly to coach interp. I'm the worlds largest fan of hyperbole, but everyone already knows that. Aside from that, I don't know what else to say other than, “Hi, I hope you enjoy the site.”

Best sentence ever.
Hi! I’m Jeska! I’m pretty awesome. And humble. I competed for Windermere Prep in FL for one year, Trinity Prep for 2 years, and St. Joseph’s University for 2 1/2 years. I currently coach interp and speech events at Trinity Prep. I also enjoy good conversation, sushi, bubble baths, champagne and strawberries, long walks on the beach… wait, what website am I on? Right! Forensics! Back on track. I’m super excited to be contributing to forensicsunderground, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Hola! I'm Ryan! I'm pretty friendly, but not all that humble. I've competed for 7 years and am entering my last year of eligibility at Florida State University (unless Nick and I start the Professional Forensics League, anyone interested?). I've been around since the ancient forensics days when there were only 2 debate events and IE forums were on individualevents.org. I am thrilled to see FU evolve into the next great forensics resource and community!

Hey guys! Drew Horner here. I competed for Morristown West High School for 4 years. I did pretty much every event except for Limited Prep and Debate… focused on Oratory my senior year. Graduated in 2004. I am currently a student at Western Kentucky where I compete in PA and some Interp.
A little about me… I have recently lost my life to World of Warcraft… yes, I know… it's a tragedy. My main character is a night elf druid, so if you love playing, come visit me! I also love to read, write, draw (as some of you may already know). I'm a big fan of Penny Arcade and Ctrl+Alt+Del webcomics. I'm a Harry Potter freak. If I could live anywhere it would be London.
My beverage of choice (when it comes to alcohol) is vodka… I'll mix it with pretty much anything, or I'll drink it straight… doesn't really matter.
Anything else you wanna know, feel free to ask… sometimes I can be painfully open if you catch me in the right mood!

Drew likes to climb mountains with Petrarch.

Hi! I'm Joe. I've competed for Holy Ghost for two years, entering my third. Nick Fox has been an amazing mentor to me, and I'm glad to see he got a new forensics site up and running! My main events are OI and HI, but DI and Duo might be making a strong bid for my favor this year, we'll see! I play piano, host a semi-weekly podcast at *WARNING: SHAMELESS PLUG AHEAD* pjfmshow.com, and live a fairly normal life. I just got back from GMIF 08 and it was the most amazing thing I've ever done in my entire life. If I could live anywhere in the world it would be San Fransisco.
Glad to be a part of this new venture

Hi!!! My name is Carolena : ) And my event is poetry*cuts,cuts…EMO.* haha kidding. I'm on the Birch Run Forensics team. MIFA…represent! I'll be a sophomore this year and I can't wait for the season to pick up. I love acting so much. I think it's such an amazing opportunity to be apart of this. I hope that more young people will get into speaking/acting. There is so much that teens can bring with them coming out of high school and going into college with forensics.

Hey, the name's Adam. I'm entering my senior year, rockin' everything forensics from Extemp and PFD to Duo and HI. I'd list my school, but we're really too small in the forensics world for it to be worth it. Uhh… Let's see… I like long walks on the beach and occaisonally engaging in sarcastic douchebaggery. I think old people are people who got high on life and overdosed. I'm clearly not a wiz at the instant biography.
Anyway, I'm really psyched about this new site and really hope it does well. Considering Nick Fox is probably the most insightful person ever involved in forensics (I took notes on that flattery thing), I cannot possibly imagine it failing.

Hey speech&debate kids. I'm Olive, I do dramatic interpretation at Baltimore City College, though I do plan to take on a few more events this upcoming year. I learned from the best.

I hope I do this right. <crosses fingers> My name is Noel and I compete for the Coronado High School forensics team. I am entering my senior year. I love forensics and get to be captain of my team this year. Big plans! I qualified for Nats this year and was 6 points shy of breaking to octa-finals. I am looking to make a dent next year.

Hey everyone, I'm Sean. I'm from FOL under this same name and figured why not sign up here as well. I'm a two year camper from GMIF and will be going into my senior year in high school forensics. I compete in HI and will be present at Glenbrooks, Wake, Yale, NFLS, GMU, maybe some other nat tournaments. I also just made the GMU team this past week so I might be continuing my forensics career there as well.
Nick, thanks for setting this up. The thing that bothers me the most about FOL is the stagnancy of the front page. I hope that with FU we can eliminate that and allow this site to grow to be an excellent resource to those of all skill levels.

That's the plan. At the moment, it may look like I'm the sole contributor, but there is a team behind me. I am running this site more like a magazine than anything else, giving all of the contributors deadlines. So in the coming weeks, months, and years, expect to see tons of fresh original content from some very sharp forensicators.

Hiya, there! I'm Kate (under the same screenname at FOL). I go to Jefferson Co. High in Eastern Tennessee, though I don't really expect many to know our school by name, haha. I've been competing for three years, going into my fourth year. My [current] main events are Dramatic Interp, Prose, and Oratory (of the persuasive kind), though I do enjoy some dramatic Poetry and good, heartfelt Solo Acting.
Outside of forensics, I enjoy Harry Potter, shopping, cupcakes, poetry, and chicken nuggets.
Anywho, it's really great to join a new forensics site!

Being happy doesn’t mean that everything’s perfect; it just means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections.

Hey I'm Ryan Myers, in about a week (yes I said a week) I will be starting my sophmore year at Southprt Highschool. I am one of few Hoosiers on FOL where I have a similar screenname (no space though). and I am looking forward to watching this site grow into an amazing resource for forensicators everywhere (who knows maybe there will actually be some HOOSIERS on this site someday!). Yep, that pretty much covers it…

I have bad typing, deal with it .
