I've heard from Timo quite often on other forums. I think we haven't seen him here of late because we haven't had many of our epic treknology/ship discussions recently.

True, and someone should teach my dumbass how to do math.

So, what Shik wrote, basically. I'm going to Lake Tahoe for skiing and bachelor party shenanigans tomorrow. I just passed the two year mark back in November at my job. I've lost a lotof weight. Her name is Krystel, and I met her parents and son last week.
Er... Krystel isn't the girl in the pictures -- that's my sister.
How is everyone doing?
HOLY CRAP! That's amazing! Well done!

What exactly makes someone an Old One of Flare? Is there like a number or date cut off? Cause if the number cut off was 137 then fuck you.

When Membership reaches like 5000 ( not for the next decade at least) I might even be included in this little circle...*wakes up from daydreaming* Like I said, highly unlikely, for the next decade.

Hobbes, 137.999918 is the cut off, it was 416.999919 but someone motioned to change it, and of course is got seconded, so here we sit.
I think this site was in the 4 digit realm once before, then CC got hatchet happy, and we went down, down, down, and the ions went higher........

No, because I've always been 343 & you signed on 3 months after me.

Charles has gone hatchet happy and pruned out inactive accounts. Thus we end up with Kick Me there with his 2010 member number but still only 420 registered users.

Yeah, but it hasn't led to member number changes is what I'm sayin'.

He did it again, I swear we were at 700 the other day. I do believe CC explained the reasoning for not changing the members numbers, but I do not recall it. Could be something to do with the DB, since you can change your screen name you can't run the DB with that.
Sean, nope, otherwise you could be member 400, which would be kind of scary. Sean, I also have to give you a bit of kudos, we have run out most newbies by now, you have stuck with it pretty good.

There is a new newbie that posted in "Nx class Escape pods". I welcomed him nicely, and have nicknamed him The Nocturnal Trekker, because he hails from Hawaii and his posts show as having been posted at 3 in the morning. He is # 2080.
Maybe he could be my side kick... He'd be like a side sidekick.

Back in the day this place was a bitch to newbies. It wasn't intentionally meant make people want to leave. But it helps to have a thick skin.

I think many of the more unenlightened newbies fail to see the heirarchy and the "society" that has developed here. They fail to realize that they should probably speak in whole sentences, and not in IM speak, and from what I've seen, a few are quite liable to run off their mouths in some fanboyish rant before thinking. For the sake of the forum, it is kind of good to be a bit tough on newbies. I have also observed that this group is filled with a fair bunch of smart-asses ( no insult intended)who like to joke around. * points to member status* You have to roll with the jokes and not be defensive right away.
