Conor McKerr (Admin)

Summary
Conor McKerr is an admin in the group, Nintendo Lounge. He has been a member since January 2012, and has since become an active member in the group. He is among the few members of the group that did not originate from the ONM UK Facebook page.

History
Conor was invited in to the group in January 2012, by member and friend Dylan Knipe, who recommended joining the group for the writing craze at the time. For the first few nights, Conor was quiet in the group due to nervousness, but when he commented on what would be the 1,000 Comment Thread, he quickly became friends with Gavin Boyle, James Caskey, Megan Yoshi Gilham and Chris Yoshi Man Harding.

Eventually, Conor would make a name for himself in the group, befriending many of the other members, but being disliked by a few members. He soon started writing Pokémon Chrome: Rise of S.I.N, but was scrapped after the 3rd chapter for his latest project, Chimera City. This would star some of his co-members, such as Ayshe Aksamaz, Dominic Haigh, Jaymes Shoreman and Sam Kenealy.

Adminship
During February 2012, regular members and admins, Ayshe and Jacob Rees, left the group for unknown reason. When confronting Jacob, he said that Megan and Chris had dominated the group, and left because the supposed pressure they put on Ayshe, which caused her to fall ill. To get away from the stress of Nintendo Lounge, Ayshe and Jacob made Nintendo Sqaure (then named Nintendo Discussion Group), and invited Nintendo Lounge members Aidan Rickard, Kyle McKenzie and Conor himself. In an effort to bring them back to the group, Conor, alongside Sam and admin Toby Grazier, led a campaign to bring Ayshe and Jacob back. After 2 days of convincing them, Ayshe rejoined the group; Jacob took longer to rejoin. As a reward for bringing back these 2 prominant members, Toby elected Sam and Conor as new admins, replacing Ayshe and Jacob. A week later, Conor and Sam made Dominic the 3rd new admin after deliberating that his seriousness and dedication to bringing Ayshe and Jacob back would make him a great admin. Since then, Conor has been one of the most active admins, setting up projects for the group alongside Sam.

LoungeCast
In late February 2012, during an time of big ideas for the group, Conor suggested the idea of a podcast for the group. Sam was the first to take up Conor's idea, considering making the hosting duo of Stone Cold & Tardis. After posting about its eventual creation, other members to take up his idea were Dylan, Gavin, Dominic and Oisin Darragh. Dylan, Gavin and Dominic would be chosen to host alongside Conor and Sam, Oisin would not. In early March, the 1st episode of the LoungeCast would be posted on to SoundCloud, receiving generally good reviews from fellow Nintendo Lounge members. The 2nd episode is yet to be posted.
