I still revere Neuron Basher, Adam, Pistons, et al. Next to them, I'm a newb.

Echo that! (meaning I'm a newb, too)

And kevynn668, #5 is nice of you to say!

#14 is intimately connected with a lot of issues, including a very memorable fuck-up and make up by yours truly.

You're very welcome. I just wish I had time to list all of the DSers I'm impressed with.

About the 14 (and any mentions of DSers by name), I was a little worried but I hope that everyone involved will see it as good clean fun. :)

(Hurray! I'm not near death.) I hit a couple of those, but not many of them truely apply to me...mostly, I know the history of most of them, but not by first hand. I'd say I'm around the 3rd Generation of DSFers while that list would refer to the 2nd (? "Neuron Basher, Adam, Pistons, et al" being the 1st Gen.)

Good Ghost I'm starting to feel old.

I remember back in high school going onto Deep Resonence. then after joining the Navy having to rejoin/reconfirm membership into Dump Shock, and I remember the reset. Including the original color scheme.

Vomit green background with shades of grass anyone?

Target Group: Members Posts: 41 Joined: 26-February 02 From: World Square Car Park, Sydney Member No.: 1,294	This thread brings such sweet memories. As for that list, I came on at the brown forums, them were the days. I remember lambasting everyone for info about Target: Awakened Lands because it took me 6 months from release to find a copy in Sydney. And a warm reception I got to. If I could check my % of posts from the lounge, it's still probably about 80% of my total posts here, I tend to lurk a fair bit unless it's topic about australia.

Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill. Group: Dumpshocked Posts: 6,545 Joined: 26-February 02 From: Gloomy Boise Idaho Member No.: 2,006	Les see I have been around since 2001. Back when the Forums where Gravy brown and uh lighter gravy brown. Back when the longest run was 2000 posts and it was the Renraku Ark run. Who was the guy who ran that, Chet, or Charly, something like that. He is long since gone now. I apply to about half those numbers. [ Spoiler ] 1) You know what NERPS means. Double points if you you've explained it to a "newb." Check Check 2) You've read a newb's bellicose post and responded by telling him or her the "ettiquette rules" of the 'Shock. Double points if you crossed your fingers and hoped no one would point out how you were the same way when you started. Check Check 3) You no longer get excited when you get a personal invite to an online game. Negative, still get excited. 4) You've changed your screen name more than once to avoid hate posts. Negative 5) You no longer think AH is a GOD (just a brilliant man. Or a room full of monkeys with typewriters.) [aside: I still think you're the man ] Wait, he isn't? 6) Another DSer references you in a post to make point. () Not that I know of :( 7) You no longer think its cool when another DSer references you in a post to make a point. See above. 8 ) You've met Adam (or any admin) in RL. Not yet.... (muwahahaha) 9) You have Adam's (or any admin's) cellular device number. Double points if you have used it. See above. 10) You're office mates can recognise the 'Shock when its up on your screen. Yep :) 11) You don't care. Yep, yep! 12) During meetings you spend your time planning your reponse to a post. I usually take a laptop and pretend I am taking notes. Though I have to hide the task bar incase anyone walks behind me. 13) You have been suspened from the 'Shock. Not yet, I try to avoid pissing off the Admins. 14) You wonder what happend to Sub Rosa (or anyone that spent most of his or her time in the Lounge). Good riddance to bad rubbish. 15) You've had a battle of witts (or wills) with Polaris. Double points if you came out even. Triple points if you came out on top. I stopped trying after the first time. 16) You've actually completed a "Welcome to the Shadows" run. Double points if you were the GM. 4 times a winner!!! 17) You spent last New Year's Eve engaged in the Human's vs. Horrors flame war. You know who you are. Humans will win dammit! 18) You know how to search the Old Forums. Double points if you are actually good at it. Check - Check. 19) You've posted a link to a older thread in response to often repeated question (skillwires, shotguns, decking, rigging, the AVS, sleeping with your Dikoted Ally Spirit, etc.) Double points if you didn't feel smug while doing so. Tinkergnomes quote is the best! 20) You took the time to read this post. Double points if you responded. Check Check
