Kuhan (aka Naaim Siddiqi) is a member of chatrealm from a time before the term "Chatrealm" was even coined. He now hosts podcasts.
He is a moderator on The Green Lantern Corps Message Board and the editor-in-chief of Sentai Rangers, as well as a host of the official podcasts of both sites. He was an editor and voice actor for the now inactive Watchtower Studios DC Abridged Universe. His best friend is ProfessorWhat and they may or may not be potatoes.
Kuhan's Legacy
Kuhan was once renowned as one of BBLiveShow's favorite users and popular Adobeshoppers, but that all changed.
Kuhan The Beloved
Kuhan The Beloved was an era of early BBLiveShow when Kuhan was considered among the best of the show's contributors. This era bloomed in a time when photoshop contests were a mainstay in the show. He earned the crowd's favor with reliably entertaining entries. It was during this time that he and Gatowag shared a cafepress account to distribute chatrealm and Kuhan-specific apparel.
Kuhan The Damned
Kuhan The Damned is an era consisting of all the time from the end of Kuhan The Beloved to present day. The break in eras can be traced to a photoshop duel between Petefic, Kuhan, and fellow adobeshopper Dodd Vickers. The stakes were bragging rights and notoriety. Kuhan showed up late and showed a weaker display than expected, which turned chatrealm into a flurry of shouting "KUHAAN!"
Although there are a few instances of Kuhan bolstering his infamy during this time, it is also in this era that he successfully set a new world record for skittle eating on the show. He has since been dethroned of this record.
Since his heel turn, Kuhan's name has become more of a memetic artifact of the show being synonymous with betrayal, used as an expletive shouted in interjection, particularly during moments of technical failures. Later in NSFW Show's history, Cheeto would become a similar figure who would come to represent betrayal of expectations.
