lol Well, perhaps they were thinking of the Golden Rule of Internet Forums and Groups: Never insult someone who's been here longer than you have...

For some reason, it reminded me of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They always seemed to be grimacing that way.

I don't think that is where he got it from, but I may be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time, and I doubt the last, if so this time.
This reminds me, does anyone have the wireframe gifs(?) from the old BG site? Or was that UP1? Ahh, anyway.

Does anyone have those very wrong blue schematics of the First Contact ships with the Akira/Norway twins and the super ugly Steamrunner?

Jason, consider this: Some of us have been involved in this community for almost Ten Years. TEN YEARS!!!!! Maybe more. I'm not sure when I exactly joined this community, but I'm betting on Spring or Summer 1997. So, a highlight of what has been going on in that span of time:
Summer 1997: First year remarks at the University of Toronto come in. To say the least, they were quite dissappointing. November 1997: Started dating first girlfriend. That relationship would last 5 1/2 years. Summer 1998: Second year remarks also come in. Quite dissappointing too. Decided to start finding work while going to school Part Time. 1999-2000: Contract jobs during that period include a School Textbook company, an Insurance company, a government entity, and a utilities company. Continue to go to University Part-Time. Fall 2000: After a nasty fight with my parents, I end up moving out while they are on vacation in Las Vegas. End up getting a job at a small communications company. 2001: Decide to drop out of University to go to a private college. Sure, Tuition was a bitch, but after a year-long diploma, I find I learned more than several years at university. Spring 2002: Land a job at a Vacations company. Initial impressions are that this is a start of a career and an opportunity to settle down with 1st girlfriend. Fall 2002: Fired from job at Vacations company. Later find out my firing was to facilitate possibly the worst case of nepotism anyone has ever seen. 1st Girlfriend not happy at all. 2003: End up living in a room at a run down, crime ridden townhouse complex. Reduced to working minimum wage at Staples. Girlfriend of 5 1/2 years calls it quits in our relationship. Fall 2003: Later find a job as a Computer Technician. 2004: Went back to university part-time to finish off my degree. Fall 2004: After an uneventful year at Tech job, get laid off, hired by another computer store. 2005: Hired by Software company. Yippee!!! First well paying job, well, ever! Fall 2005: Would move to my very own apartment, never again will I share a kitchen and bathroom with anyone! Start dating 2nd girlfriend. 2006: Events include multiple raises at job and a promotion. Yeehaw!!! 2nd Girlfriend moves into apartment. 2007: More raises. I have been with this company for almost 3 years now and am enjoying it. Also dumped my now ex-girlfriend of almost 2 years, but am not regretting it.
And that's how I spent my last 10 years of my life.

1997 is when my first wife and I separated. I was devastated at the time, but it was truly a blessing with hindsight being 20/20 and all.
I remember one night about 18 months before we split, she burst in to the room while I was slowly* surfing the net thinking she'd catch me looking at po rn.... To bad the site I was lurking about on was the BG site.
*I thought that old 386 with the dial up connection was blazing fast at the time.....
