I remember him from back in 2002 when I first started visiting this site. I was only 14, but the way I remember it, he knew the answer to every question, his games were amazing and he was .... "the guy".
Does anybody know has become of him since his Klik days?

Even if something is "common knowledge", it doesn't mean that everybody knows it. It is likely that a person would know it, but it is not certain. I guess I was just one of the few who didn't know. Heaven forbid! Lock me up officer!

The only way it would be common knowledge is to assume that everyone here is a man. How many of us actually talk to each other using voice or webcam, much less actually talk about our gender? Unless someone actually dives into it, upon finding out someones name is Ashley, the natural reaction is that it's a female. Especially for people who never got to personally know Tigerworks more than a few casual messages or community chats.
I learned Ashley was a guy in a comment thread on a news post here long ago. I personally have seen it come up a few times, mostly when someone who dosn't know Ashley sees Ashley post.
