In 1999, GlitterRock finally took the advice of [[animebabe]] and opened his own website to archive captions.

Personal info
Early Capping History
Originally introduced to Caption This by Amon in 1996/1997. (though Amon credits him with finding the site) The first program he ever capped (very badly!) was "The Hidden" using Amon's name -- with his permission. After getting his own computer, he registered the "GlitterRock" handle, and capped semi-regularly on Caption This; mostly mornings and evenings, and afternoons on weekends.
The Running Gags
A fan of the running jokes, GlitterRock contributed to them frequently on Caption This, even starting a few of his own. Examples include Ooo, is that cheesecake?, Steve the Astronaut, and Jerry Doyle For Congress.
