Title: I've seen a lot of new members lately...
Post by: The SaiNt on 2001-07-27 18:41:00
I seem to see a lot of new members lately, in the welcome list at least, but I have never seem to see them posting. Anyone know why?

Maybe they are lurkers, like me. Registered in case they want to post something, but they rarely ever do.

Maybe they are trying to overload this board, and hack qhimm's site or something like that. But probably not.

Lurker for me is one really great unit from Brood Wars. Great beast.

They do post ... not as much as us oldies, perhaps  :D

The latest member- Yuna? - I think has posted at least once ... I remember reading something by him/her ... if not more often.

Yes  :wink:

Don't know WHY there's been so many new members lately ... summer holidays? More time for people to mess around on the net?

I can't speak for the others, but as for me better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt...

As for me, I'm not a big talker until I get to know the crowd. Give me time and you won't be able to shut me up!  :)

Yeah, Lurkers are pretty bad.  They can be a major pain before you have observers or science vessles (respectively).

TheSaint-Look, now you've gone and done it. You've drawn us all out of lurk mode. How am I ever going to stay under 5 posts like this?  :P
Title: I've seen a lot of new members lately...
Post by: The SaiNt on 2001-07-28 08:20:00
Exactly my point  :)

You guys might as well use this thread to get to know everyone  :)

hello everyone! I like video games of course but I play mostly the Playstation though. Don't know too much about computers, I've only had mine for about a year but that's why I read stuff here. There's a lot to learn. But I don't wanna be called a lurker :(
Title: I've seen a lot of new members lately...
Post by: chowderhead on 2001-07-28 22:40:00
Well, you should lurk a bit, just to get a feel for the board before you start posting.

Anyways, here's the intro thing...

Name's Scott, I'm (gah, do I say it?) 29!
I live in the US in central Virginia, outside a teeny little one-stoplight town.

I like FF (of course), Anime, anything computers, drawing and sketching, and riding my horse.

And I don't have near enought time to do any of it.  :D

Hmmm, so we're onto age are we? I am 13, one of the younger ones on the board. I'm a musician and I write music for the Legacy project, a big RPG game that's being made.  Check it out.  I'm hoping to write MIDI for the FF Remake project too. Let's see anything else I do? All I ever do is play the guitar and site in front of this god damn screen.

Hello Lurkers, I'm halkun, I tear things apart and then document what makes it tick. Anything from Japanese culture, to the PSX to little kittens are not safe from my prying eyes and need to know....

Well I may as well introduce myself, I've recently applied to work on the FF7 Remake and been accepted, in RL my name is Mark, and I program code for MUDs in my spare time, I'm hoping to go into the British Army next year.  I play what could possibly be considered crazy amounts of FF7/8 (mostly 7) and have just about explored most of both games and completed several times.

My parent's always say that "old" is ten years older than you are...it changes over time   :wink:

Oh, we're doing introductions? Righto ... I'm Ficedula, 19 years old, a computer student from England. I'm working on programming in the Remake project, and I've written quite a few editors and patches for FF7 Available on my website! .

Currently I'm spending most of my time lazing around in the sun since I passed my uni exams first time.... mmmm ... sweet sunny goodness!

Madon: Greetings! Welcome to both Qhimm's board and the Remake! I hope I'll talk to you in the project forum soon...


EDIT: Realised what the topic was actually about  :wink:

Yeah, I've checked out your site-and the update looks pretty sharp.  For whatever reason, the older version seems to bring my browser to it's knees?
Title: I've seen a lot of new members lately...
Post by: ficedula on 2001-07-31 23:23:00
Yeah, some of the older designs on my site used Java. Not everyone has a good Java interpreter (or a good processor...) so it could be a wee bit slow some of the time...

New design just uses Javascript if it's available, therefore is reasonable.

I'll stop talking about my site now, the thread isn't supposed to be about that  :D

Microsoft IE 5.5, and an Athlon 700 slot A/384 mb ram.  We'll blame it on Micro$oft!

Hrmm, even ona P3 750 with 128 and IE6 beta I still get a massive slowdown on the old version of you site Fice, although it could be down to my old little 56k modem :P As soon as I get my access to the remake forum we can chat there and sort out what work I need to be doing

Post by: Srethron Askvelhtnod on 2001-08-04 06:51:00
my name is surthen asknot. im 3 yrs old and im frum... oh I CANT TELL U. LOL!!111!
iv never been heer be4....so im a newbie1!!...adn i dont no how i got this name or this password but i did. HAHA!!!1111


...erm, just kidding.  :D

Seriously, I'm Srethron Askvelhtnod, but most people call me Srethron because they don't even want to try to spell my full name.  :wink:

I'm usually actively involved in the Tech-Related forum, but I've been on a "hiatus" of sorts while trying to finish up some other projects of mine.

I love FF7, and was/will be again actively involved with the FF7 Remake project and almost all of the FF7 file formats stuff. I love to get involved in things like this, and, in fact, I'm in way to many of them. That's not so bad, though. The problem is that I'm a terrible procrastinator (worse than halkun) and I'm always thinking of cool new things (well, *I* think they're cool  :D) to add or try with my projects, which usually end up increasing the length of time until the project's finish by another 3 months. The end result is that my projects always take a crazy amount of time to finish, even though they really shouldn't.  :( What can I say? I'm even supposedly writing a Tech Doc, but a lot of people think it's just a figment of my imagination.  :D
I'm also interested/involved in a host of other things, including web design and database programming, videogames (PC, mostly) music, fantasy novels, graphics creation, drawing, debate, programming, and that's just the tip of the iceburg. I'm often kidding around, so expect to see me winking and grinning a lot.

Currently I'm spending most of my time lazing around while thinking about how I should be working on that coursework, my FF7 Tech Doc, several websites, and a few other important projects, all of which are long overdue and were supposed to be completed last spring. Instead, I think I'm going to make everyone nervous by going off to the Remake Project forum and hatching evil plots with the rest of the project members. Mwa ha ha!  :D

Anyways, The SaiNt's right, the boards have really grown. I think there were only 180 or so members when I was last here, now there's 210.  :o Welcome to all the new names. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you around here. Have fun, and, remember, people judge you not by the size of your shoes but by whether your socks match. Thank you.

Hi Srethron. I'm EdeaS and I'm new here and one of the very very few female members and probably one of the oldest too but hey I'm here to have fun just like anyone else and I think all you guys are great for puuting up with me and I'm rambling again so I'll shut up for a while. Anyways if you haven't already noticed my favorite game so far is FF8. I'll tell more about myself later. I'm still trying to learn all about everyone else!  :)
