Happy Join Day!

Milo joined exactly one year ago today. We can all be proud of ourselves for the length of time we have managed to keep him off the streets.

Oh yes, and I suppose he deserves a grundging thanks for some of his jokes.

 

Thanks for remembering, Sheriff! And Happy (upcoming) Join Day to you, too.

I say we celebrate Join Day by digging back in the archives and posting a link to our very first post here.

 

Oh dear.

 

Oh yes. Oh fah-kyess.

Sheriff Fatman's First Post!!!

Milo's First Post!!!

Man... You know you've been here a while when you "search for all posts from this user" and the the forum returns 77 pages worth of hits.

 

Hoho - both our first posts were bug-inspired! That mirror had morphed or something, so I never did find it.

 

Happy join day Milo (I forgot when I joined... hold on I'll check)

 

that was posted by me on the 8th of June (man I haven't been around THAT long at all!!! It surprises me....

(*looks back in time and remembers that he was on DoA a looooong time before he even knew TA existed...*)

 

Points at Notty in amazement, for not simply looking at his profile, on the left hand side, where his join date sits all alone and forgotten.

My join date is only 8 days after SF's! 28th September 2001!

BTW, Milo, where the hell did you get those first posts from, since the database was lost during the Sector31 meltdown?!?!?!

 

Thanks, Notty.

Digging through the memberlist, I saw that there were a few people who's Happy Join Days we've missed. Here's some of them in all their first post glory:

Dragoon's First Post!!!
-No replies! Someone gravedig this.

friend_al_23's First Post!!!
-You can see that by his third post, he'd become the friend_al that we all remember.

Jarinor's First Post!!!
-Say, whatever happened to that mod?

Jinxed First Post!!!
-lol what a n00b lol

Phoenix First Post!!!
-Damn, you registered way back then?! You must have the record for longest time to 90 posts.

That's it for now...

More to come?

DUN DUN DUN <--(the sound of impending doom)

 

The database wasn't completely lost. It was just about a months worth of posts, since they had to revert to an old backup. The archives are still there.

Happy Join Day to you, too Ferret. You're coming up soon on the First Post!!! list...

 

No, only part of the database was lost Ferret. There was still the back-up, and it had all that sort of stuff.

I wonder how many pages would show up if you listed all the posts I made . Or Al.

 

145 or so. You guys post too much. Anything over say... 1900 posts is just sick. Sick!

 

I must say ...
Reading Milo's and Fatman's first posts shows a different, more innocent side of them.

It's like looking at pictures of them when they where still boys ...

Wierd experience ...

Wierd science ...

Wierd people anyway ...

 

Wow! I think I actually remember Jarinor's first post! I just didn't have time to reply to it at the time because I was late for a lecture.... :roll:

As only part of the database was lost, then why can't I find my first post? The first I can find is when I put the Cumbrian War RP thread back together again. My post count was reset too, even though my first post occured much more than a month before the crash.

Is is just ignoring me?

 

Our first anniversary


As for that first post idea I always knew that no one but a friend can dig up the worst shit on you when you least expect it.

So far I vote Jinxed's first post the best in the bunch.

 

Hoho - yeah, although it's lucky Milo didn't dig up my third or fourth post or whichever the one it was where I laid into Wump for bullying Quethim. Some of the things I said there might have dispelled Menkhur's image of innocence.

Hey, DU! THat's a nice avatar. That was the one I nearly asked for before Milo came up with the one I have now.

 

What are the odds? Seeing the pot, the magic flying blade, and the vision enhanced headgear all within the last few days (two within the last few HOURS!!!).

Now all I need is to have sex with Andy Partridge¹ and I will die incredibly, stupidly happy.
