Welcome to the forum Rawdeal62!
I think the closest we have to Chaz's origin is that it
came from the Never while being wielded by Satan.
Well the one email that used to work was website[at]sluggy[dot]com. Haven't used it in quite awhile. Also you could try
Messaging Pete directly. He's not the quickest at times at reading his messages, but he will definitely get to it.
Anyway [member's name here], now I will tell you about the strange tradition aimed at newcomers.
At one time there were Pesterers who pestered you for poetry, but that tends to be very rare nowadays. Even though you may not be pestered, if you do go and post an original poem --usually haiku but any (clean) type is accepted-- written by you, you will most likely receive a gift in return. The "gift" will most likely be useless or maim you. Whichever it may be, it should be interesting and surprising. Lastly, this strange tradition applies to the pestering not the poetry. You are not required to do anything more to be a member here...unless you want to possibly get a [name of harmlessly fatal item here] or some other type of gift.
Now go forth and do (almost) whatever you want, just don't speculate in Reactions.
