	After registering at the Forums under the screenname "dripik", he first did smaller contributions to the General Discussion section, including the creation of a thread about the favourite Oddworld characters of Forums members. During the autumn of 2002, dripik became interested in the RPG section of the Forums and attempted to join an RP game, but due to the low turn-out, the thread eventually died. <ref name="firstrpg"/> It was then when he decided to start an RP thread of his own, hoping it would work out better than most of the role-playing threads he had seen in the RPG section, most of which were struggling because of low activity. On 4 October, 2002, dripik started the thread [[Work at Rupture Farms]]<ref name="WARFstart"/>, an RP loosely based on the iconic meat processing plant seen in Abe's Oddysee. The thread, often simply referred to as "W@RF", proved to be a popular idea, and managed to survive, with periods of scheduled inactivity, for nearly a decade. Its end was officially announced on 24 January 2011.<ref name="WARFend"/>		After registering at the Forums under the screenname "dripik", he first did smaller contributions to the General Discussion section, including the creation of a thread about the favourite Oddworld characters of Forums members.

	W@RF also inspired members to create threads in the Fan Corner section. The earliest thread was dedicated to artwork related to the characters of the RP, in which dripik posted a couple of sketches made on his own characters<ref name="rpgart"/>. Later on, he created the second part of the thread, which initially functioned as a collection of the pictures salvaged from the first thread (most of the links got broken or the pictures themselves have been removed)<ref name="rpgart2"/>. The second art thread also became to host a series of Paint comics made by dripik, based on the storyline of W@RF. Apart from visual art, dripik began writing the back-story of one of his RP characters, under the title "The Robotic Guard".		W@RF also inspired members to create threads in the Fan Corner section.

	At this point, dripik's attention shifted from the RPG section to Fan Corner, where he participated in a number of art-related forum games. Among them were the series "Who Wants To Make A Comic?"<ref name="wwtmac"/> and "Wars of the Art"<ref name="wota"/>, both dedicated to hosting comics jointly made by multiple members.
