Well... he didn't rereg a hundred times to my knowledge, so he wasn't quite Ninja AE/Mega-Mario (I think
I would have been closer to someone like Ninja AE, just a bit more clever, but only a bit). He was around long after you left, so it's not surprising that you didn't know him.
A bit of backstory: There used to be this offshoot IRC channel containing a small faction of banned trolls and other various misfits, and just people who liked to act hyperactive from time to time (called #suburbia--I actually hung out there). August also hung out in this channel although he generally wasn't a respected or high-ranking member of the channel.
Basically, he also used to be staff in PureZC's IRC chatroom, then one day he decided to go around googling for ROMs and stuff publicly in the channel, and he got fired over it. In retaliation, he gave his account's password to #suburbia for them to do what they pleased with it (I think it still had access to the staff forums because the admins hadn't gotten around to revoking it yet, I'm not sure, I didn't log into it although a couple of other people in there did). #suburbia hated PureZC a lot, but we actually hated August more, so we went ahead and actually reported the password leak to PureZC's staff.
We actually had good reasons for hating August--not just because he's "weird" and has a giant list of fetishes (I don't really care much about that, to each their own) but because he also went out of his way to get into arguments with everyone else in the channel.
tl;dr: august was a jerk
