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. smile.gif

17) You spent last New Year's Eve engaged in the Human's vs. Horrors flame war. You know who you are.

And we will damn well do it again

I had a ball!!


Then I recently met a girl and we somehow got to talking about what we did for New Year's last year...

*shrugs* Hell with it. I still had BALL!! biggrin.gif
Stumps
by that list, I'm a youngin of around an 18 year olds worth of age. (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.)

I think I know what NERPS stands for....

I'd say you only get points for CLUE if you read them within a month of first being posted.

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?

9) You have Adam's (or any admin's) cellular device number. Double points if you have used it.


I have a cel phone? SHIT! I'd managed to avoid getting one for so long. . . smile.gif

Don't be like that. We all know that Neuron Basher doesn't exist.

He's just a large bank account somewhere from which the bills get deducted.

I remember the lounge....such sweet memories....
Teknobabel
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.
Hocus Pocus
boy the way glen miller played
songs that made the hit parade
guys like us we had it made
those were the days.
Lindt
Yeah... now where did I leave my teeth? Anyone seen my cane?

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.

Is it worth extra points if you can remember significant events in your non-RPG life by what flame war you were involved in at the time?
kevyn668
Definately. smile.gif

toturi: ah, yes, the astral ICBM...how could I have forgotten? Shame on me.

You've started to read the Admin section of the forum...

I was here on the forum before this one, but i as the mere Inner Sphere version. frown.gif

lol, ain't that the truth.
I was ready to snarl yesterday.
Couldn't log into WoW (was at work)
Couldn't get into the forums (had to make up inane conversations about minor rules and the philosophical path that lead to them on my own)
and I had to be at work

I nearly went postal when the forums went down. Lucky I didn't.

You know you've been on too long if you're one of those responsible for a 330 and counting thread about just exactly how powerful IEs are.
Kagetenshi
You've still got nothing on the Horrors/Humans debate, especially since that one spanned two threads. Something like nine hundred posts between the two?

~J
kevyn668
Echo that. <edit: 38 pages and 932 posts, total>

So, what do you guys want to argue about this New Year's?
Kanada Ten
Dues and his banded shedim nation Asmando vs humanity using machine pistols with AV ammo.

I'll be backing the SURGEd with Osteocupus using MPs with Glazer Ammo. biggrin.gif

21) You plan on (and look forward to) spending this New Year's Eve engaged in the "Humans vs. Horrors" debate.


[ Spoiler ]

I fear that we may have actually used up the vast majority of our actual evidence, though.

I just know one day the Dumpshockers are going to be called upon to spend New Years Eve locked in bitter combat with Cauthrunne or something.

Hmmm... I didnt see anyone mention this, so I thought I would add it... I am new here so forgive me if I missed something...

I was on dumpshock.com in the 90s. I remember checking this site out in highschool when it was still Shadowrun.org..

anyone been here that long, besides Adam and a few other well known oldies (Mercucio)

22) Your coworkers seem concerned when you spent 45 minutes browsing through Raygun's website, jotting down notes, and mumbling to yourself.
Arethusa
I always feel uncomfortable looking through his site in public.
kevyn668
I like doing just that because it keeps the rifraff in line wink.gif
Kagetenshi
That's the 'Shock. While Raygun's site is now hosted on the 'Shock, I don't think I would go so far as to say that it is the 'Shock.

Quick on the edit, there smile.gif

Why am I seeing the heavy set "lieutenant" from the First Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (he said "Ninja, vanish!") saying "Ninja, edit!"
