Baloo's cousin?! Oh dear. Now what will he post?

Oh, and welcome to the Forums. Um...I'd give you a link to the official FAQ, but it doesn't appear to be up yet.

*CC whispers (loudly)* "That's because you said you were working on an updated version!"

Oh, right.

I would also like to advance my greetings to the denizens of this Board. I just floated in here a while ago and I am wondering if I will hang around...this looks like a pretty cool place, yet I am more than slightly confused...but heck, when am I ~not~ more than slightly confused!

Hence, is there any advice that anyone can offer to a wannabe regular at this place? (c;

Just have fun. Don't take things too seriously, and post whenever you have something to say. As you become more comfortable, you'll start posting whenever you have nothing to say, like Elim Garak. Don't trust Frank, aka The Shadow - watch him like a hawk. Jubes is our resident SexGoddess, but don't hassle her, she's mine. NEVER call Charles 'Chuckie.' Don't tell TSN the Millenium is happpening in 3 months.

Forget them... Here are some actual *good* rules.

1. Don't spam (i.e., don't say "Here's my website, go visit it"). If you do spam, you will be zapped by the giant floating head of Charles Capps. You can post a link to something if its related to the topic at hand.

2. Keep topics in the appropriate Forums. Don't post Star Trek stuff in the Star Wars Forum, don't post DS9 stuff in the Voyager Forum, etc.

3. If you're going to discuss something that hasn't been seen in most of the world, use the dollar sign ($) to denote spoilers. Failure to do so will result in being ruthlessly smited by the Spoiler God.

Am I missing anything?

And Jubes is on sabatical at the mo', so I am (apparently) the board's resident sex-godess. Make of that what you will.

Oh, and remember that a lot of us aren't from the US. So there will be none of that flag-waving buffoonery around here thank you very much.

Wow, two people in as many days. If we carry on at this rate, we should have the population of a small town by the millenium, which (as we all know), is in three months.

Baloo's cousin?!

Run away!!!

Just kidding, gravie, and welcome to the forums. You too, Omyara.

*Chuckles evily to himself, because Elim doesn't realize that Omega hates people saying that the Millenium starts January 1, 2000 easily as much as TSN does*

*Smites PsyLiam*

Does this get me any higher on that list of yours? : )

Oh, and a few more suggestions for our newcomers. To avoid being smited yourself, NEVER start a thread about the length of the Defiant. You probably don't want to start a religious debate, as the only way to get me to shut up would be for everyone else to stop posting to the thread. Finally, if you haven't already, watch "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". It's essential for understanding some of the jokes in this forum. (Not to mention the mentality of some of the people!)

First One:

Yours? I was under the impression that Jubes and Chu - I mean Charles were an "item". Explination, please?

*Thinks a moment*

No, wait. Don't tell me. Upon reflection, I don't want to know.

And I hate people who think that people who say that the millenium starts next year are saying that because they are stupid. They are wrong. Very wrong.
The millenium starts next year because...well, look at it:

1999
2000

See how many numbers changed there? ALL OF THEM!

Now look:

2000
2001

See how many changed there? Do you? It was one. One pathetic little number. Who cares. next year we get to through out all those cheque books and forms where you have to fill in the date, but they're already printed 19__. What fun is there for 2001? Waiting for a big black obelisk to be dug up on the moon? Woopee.

I hope you're all taking notes.

Until January 1, 2000 (and perhaps a little later) the easiest way to start a long, rambling, pointless thread (or derail one that isn't) is to opine that the millennium starts in 2000.

Or 2001.

Either way. These remarks attract dissenting opinions like a bare porch light attracts flying insects. Both are just as much fun.

P.S. I have it on good authority that the Millennium actually started a coupla years ago. Deal with it!

The Monolith was dug up in '99. The movie ends about 18 months later, in '01. Which IS the start of the millennium, for this reason. When the A.D. dating system was created, the Romans had no concept of a zero. Thus the first year of the calender (and the first year of the first decade, century, and millennium, therefore) was year 1. And if the first year of the first millennium was 1, then the first year of the third millenium would be 2000 years later, or 2001.

Baloo's right, which is why I'm going to resist the urge to...no...can't...stop...myself.

Look, everyone KNOWS that there wasn't a year 0, and that it shouldn't start until 2001. We don't care. We like living in ignorance. And if we're a tthe pub and someone says that we shouldn't celebrate the millenium unti next year, then we spend a full 45 minutes pointing and laughing at them for being a pedantic arse.

Still, that Jesus eh? Cor, what was that all about?

Actually, the current calendar system wasn't started until the fifth or sixth century, and it was by a Christian monk, not a Roman. They certainly had a concept of zero by then, they just didn't use it. I mean, they guy was off by at least four years to begin with, so what can you expect...?

Liam: I have returned. You did a great job, but there can be only ONE SexGoddess. Please return my title to me.
(this posted in case you don't read the other thread).

And the explanation goes like this:

IRL, Charles and I are an item. On this board, however, I am reigning SexGoddess and that means I can have as many men as I want. .... but I'm Lee's, 'cause he's the SexGod. (or at least he was a few months back). So there you go.

On a side note, I am NOT a whore. I didn't think I needed to point this out, however certain evidence has lead me to believe that I should. I just believe in free sex for everyone. Lots of it.

Was that confusing enough?

And the Defiant is 170m long.

And the millenium started 1999 years ago. : P
