Alin Moiceanu, best known on Romanian anime sites as Mangaboy, as well as other passing nicks as One Piece, Jeleu, ZNF, Eron, and ultimately residing on the default user-name of the root administrator of a site, admin, is a notorious person that created the first alternative, and soon franchise, to the first Romanian anime site, Anime-Club, eventually overcoming it.

Beginning
Initially, Mangaboy was a normal user on anime-club, but soon decided to create a DBZ site, as one of the first animes known in Romania through Dragon Ball. Although not as known as the first, as it was not aired till much later on TV, and thus mostly restricted to viewing on computer (as anime is scarce in Romania), the site was created, administered by him and Majin, and called dbz-ro.com. As time passes and the forum was diversificated, a few months later the site was renamed in manga-anime.ro, thus with a much broader coverage, at least in the name. Among early administrators there were oppinhuc, tr0tineta and Razorel. At that time he was describes as an "enthusiastic kid" wanting to do great things. Many were not ready for what he was about to become in time, however.
Evolution
Mangaboy evolved along with his site and made continuous effort to make it as known to anime fans around the country. Google still turns up very old topics of his on that time with links to Manga-Anime. This apparently cause conflict with anime-club, being accused of spam through PMs. This, for Mangaboy, led to a conflict with users on anime-club, and eventually with his old pal, Majin.
Trivia
- His most known Yahoo! messenger ID, alin_mg, has been discussed on the meaning and the inspiration reason. One theory claims the last two letters come from manga (as in mangaboy), while others suspect they might be his name initials, implying he may have a middle name beginning with "g".
- He has not been seen on that ID for more than half a year
- His nicknames were cause for many mockeries. Mangaboy turned into mangabou (roughly translated mangaox), One Piece into one piss, Jeleu into jelly brain and ZNF into zâna nefutută (translated into unf**ked fairy ). For the moment it is unknown if Eron was ever changed into anything else. This may be because it was used a very short period of time.
