Welcome to my userpage.
It doesn't really matter what you call me, whether that's just Alex, AlexGRFan97 (which stands/stood for "Alex GeneRally Fan 1997" which I created when I was 12/13 years old for my first (now abandoned) GMail and YouTube accounts), AlexTGRF (which means a similar thing and can refer to GeneRally or Top Gear), or just plain old Gearknob.
Was this website supposed to be open this March? Yes it was. Then I had a lot of videos that I needed to work on, as well as some Patrons I needed to hopefully satisfy with news and other goodies.
If you'd like to know more, check the associated blog, where I explain everything that happened leading up to my extended hiatus from Discord. At least by the 25th, when this site opens its gates.
Current Plans
