It's still good to be here. Flare is such a great place. I should finish touching up my report for UP3 and I have a lot of junk I need to sell. Does anyone want it?

I think I too got here before the refit with the new chronology system, but just by a couple of months.

March 12, 1999, is when I first registered here at Flare. So my three year anniversary is coming up in another six months. However, my association with this group started way back at the Behaviour Group forums. I joined there June 30, 1998, so it's been a little over three years already (I registered about three days before it was hacked as I recall). However, I don't think I really became a prolific poster until "The Interrogation of Charles Capps" saga. Then I disappeared for a while until I resurfaced again this past January.Let's see, I've seen the Behavior Group forums, The Starfleet Communications Relay, the Solarflare forums, and now the Flare Sci-Fi Forums. There were also one or two temporary gathering spots, but I can't remember the names offhand.

Even though I wasn't a member of the behaviour group I was a VERY frequent visitor of UP1 and UP2. I first encountered UP1 when I was still living in North Carolina. I was only 12 and I thought it was a kick ass website. Then it closed. I was kind of sad, because I never bothered to save any of the info to disk. Then UP2 came out. I though it was so cool. Then it closed down due to heavy traffic. I didn't help much because I was visiting the site like every day to check for updates. Then I heard of UP3. I was happy that it was comming back, but to kill time one day I decided to go check out the guys behind UP3. Doing this lead me to the Flare forums! I created an account under the name 'Cammodude.' After forgetting the password, I created a new account under the name 'MIB.' I was 15 when I did that. Back in North Carolina, when I was only 12 years old, I didn't have any idea that, 4 years from then, I would end up writing for one of my favorite starship database websites on the web. Now I'm getting all nostalgic! [ October 08, 2001: Message edited by: MIB ]

I guess it's about 4 years for me as well. Sometime in October '97, anyway.

Well, my one-year anniverasry will be July 9, 2002. My first post was at 14:55, in the Starships and Technology section. The first person to respond to me was good ol' Aethelwer. Only four responses to my first post though, even though it was about a weird thing: an old Cinemafantastique issue about the DS9 premiere had a picture of the Cochrane on the cover.

I'm taking two days for "akb1979" day. The first being October 6th - my six month anniversary at Flare. During my time here I've laughed until it hurt while reading some of your replies in threads. I'd swear that you are all comedians by day Your antics make this place a joy to visit every night and to make me happy at the end of a hard day - many thanks and I look forward to another six months of madness and fun!The second day I take is today - the 9th - for it is my birthday. For the first time in 22 years (not counting my actual birth) I was awake at 6:39 to witness myself "turning 22". Like my Uncle said - "feels like 42"! Why is it after a certain age, all you get from people is socks, shirts and ties?

Because when you're younger, it's easy to go into a toy store and buy some Legos, Transformers, Go-Bots, My Little Ponies, Rainbow Brite, and jigsaw puzzles. When you're a teenager, you can go wrong with buying popular movie titles and music albums and small trinkets such as fuzzy dice to hang off of the rear view mirror of your first car. When you're older, the choices come down to alcohol and clothing.

Yes. LEGO rules!!!! I'm 16. Even when I'm 56, you cannot go wrong with legos on my birthday. I am currently gonna build my own version of Bricktopia. I'm in the process of designing my first building. But first, I'm gonna have to win an auction selling some lego parts that I am in dire need of. [mutters to himself] If that little shit thinks he can out bid me for those parts, he is sadly mistaken.[/mutters to himself]

Whatever. I've spent the better part of 22 years calling them Legos, and Legos is what I'm going to continue calling them.

For my birthday my Dad got me Michael Jan Friedman's 'Reunion' and 'Leadership Lessons in ST:TNG' And the birthday before that. Because my Dad knows nothing about me except I like Star Trek, and he only shops at warehouse closeout stores where those are the only Star Trek books available
