Uh, yeah. So, is this like the old ARena? Are any of the original guys here?

Nope. I mean I guess you could technically trace its roots back to the ARena (which I wasn't involved with), but that's so far in the past and so much has changed that they can't really be considered related at this point.
From what I recall, the now-defunct Arena section at Toho Kingdom was vaguely based on the ARena's rules, or something to that effect. Many years ago (2005-ish), some ARena guys tried migrating to TK and it ended up causing a big stink because of differing playstyles or something, and most of them promptly left. Fast forward to 2007 and I opened up a site dedicated to original monsters using a slightly tweaked version of the rules of TK's Arena (which I had overhauled from the original after I became the moderator of said section). That lasted for about 2 years before it died due to inactivity. Then in 2009 a buddy of mine opened up an RPG using a pretty drastically changed and overhauled system. That lasted about a year and a half, I think, before it died due to inactivity as well. Then I opened this site up in 2011 using a further refined version of the system used at my friend's RPG. And thus is the ancestry of the Universal Clash Arena.
To answer your second question, if memory serves, PerfectChaosZero was part of the ARena. He's here, albeit not very active.
So yeah, feel free to join in the fun. It's always nice to get some fresh blood around here, especially if they're veteran RPers.

Yeah, I was a mod over at the original ARena forum. Played when we were on GameFAQs, too. I'll check out the rules and all that. You guys use like, player-created kaiju?
