Overview

Okti joined the community back in 2010 and still occasionally lurks in the wings! A number of his oxp's were tarred as being "cheats" at the time. But, as with all oxp's, nobody was forced to use any of them! Some of his "cheats" are incredibly useful for .oxp developers and testers, though.
