Any old timers still around?

Just curious, when you got older did to end up coming clean or do they still not know.

They're aware of it. They know I've met a few people in person from it, although I told them of this well after the fact. (Didn't attend a meetup until I was 20, so they didn't have much say)

Blablover posted so often that it took me a really long time before I realized her name stood for "Black Lab Lover." I always just thought it was "Blab Lover."

I missed the second L and though it was Blab Over, as in "blabbing all over" the place. I though it was a very humorous and self-ironic name.

I've been here since the summer of 2004, so that would be 8 years. I think that's approaching old timer, though I'd say being over the 10 year mark is a little more meaningful. I used to go by Yeah Me until...I have no idea when I changed names, I would guess in 2006. Someone I always remember, who I didn't personally interact much with but had a larger than life personality, was Arianwen. It looks like she stopped posting around 2007.

I don't post as often as I used to, mostly because I work full time now and have spent the last few years working on two graduate degrees, but I still lurk. It seems like this place (at least Miscellaneous) isn't quite as busy as it used to be. I remember missing a day or two on the boards and coming back to a few pages of new threads all lit up for me to read. Now it seems like I can be gone for a week or two and when I come back there really isn't that much new stuff. Maybe I'm just less interested in the new stuff there is, I don't know.

Enterprise's last two episodes aired about 7 years and 5 months ago. This is the longest television has gone without a new episode of a Trek series since the thirteen-year gap between the end of TAS and the launch of TNG (1974-87).

It's so weird to read that - over seven years!? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was watching the "valentine" to the fans. So bizarre.

Wow, I totally missed that as well. I always assumed it was "blab lover," poking fun at her prolific posting habits. I knew she loved black labs but the name never clicked for me I guess!

Let see I joined on Sept 3 1999, 10 days later the moon blasted out of orbit, and well, you know the rest.

Anyway, my oldest son was born the following January, and I can just look at the now 5'4" and accelerating kid to see how long I've been around here.

Lot's of coming and going, some losses, lots of exciting new, it's a good place to hang out from time to time...

[J. Allen]

Yeah, sometimes someone will mention another poster, and I'll think "Oh, I just saw them on here the other day! It was..."

Not been here that long myself only some 11.6 years or so.

I first joined about the same time as you did. During the big witchhunt in 2002/3 I left and rejoined only quite recently by request of friends.

Speaking of Oldtimers: does anyone know what happened to Freakish American Batboy? Last thing I heard was that he married.
And what about Phoonzang? He was such a nice guy! He got a new job, moved and was never heard of again
And is Bedpan Elemental still around? He (or she??) thought I was a clone of Che Guevara LOL!
And what happened to our Lounge Mod Stastny? I helped her with her final exams in German. She then took on a job in a hospital and then I lost contact. At least Darkening is still around, now and then.
And where is ElanaM? We used to have so much fun in chat!
And what happened to - oh god, what was his name again? 3 or 4 syllables. Started with R, S or P iirc - the nice guy who registered and administrated Trekchat? He was such a darling!!
And where are Evil Robert and Biotech?




@ Bonzie: Never mind being middle-aged. We middle-agers are like an excellent wine: we get even better with age!

[Jim Gamma]

Biotech posts on LONAF. Not sure where the others are.

What really bothers me is that I've been a member for almost twelve years and yet I can remember just two of those names...and one of them I'm not 100% sure if I'm mistaking for somebody else. Yet I can remember the momentary flash-in-the-pan trolls like Sisko's Ballsack and Clown Meat who showed up for one or two days, were banned and haven't returned unless it's under a new account and screenname.

I've been burning up the board by making 0.7 posts per day since June 27, 2001. I need some spamming lessons, I think, but I qualify as an old timer based on the criteria a few pages back.

But I like these threads where all these old user names get mentioned. I think of Huntington (sp?) with the starfish avatar. Black Dog and her racy, cartoony avatar. Some interesting people have come and gone.

[Nerys Myk]

Stats say I joined November of 2001. I thought it was before that.

[Rhubarbodendron]

Huntingdon is still around, but doesn't post much as his job keeps him very busy. I met him IRL last year. A very nice and handsome gentleman!

Black Dog posts at TrollKingdom, I believe.

@Cooleddie: I can't remember those trolls, but at that time there were a gazillion of duals around. Most of them registered by missmanners or Che. The latter had a dual ingeniousely named "Lord of the Onion Rings".

And where did Lizardlaugh go? I always loved her name.

Edit: remembered the name of the chat-mod! Rovinski. Does anyone know what happened to him? He was such a dear and friendly guy and I haven't heard of him in almost 10 years

Batboy may still post occasionally at Wordforge, but I wouldn't swear to it. Evil Robert still turns up around here, but not often. I don't think I've seen any of the others for a long time.

I see BlackDog on FB and LJ - I'm not sure she's been at TK recently, but I rarely go there myself. LizardLaugh was turning up here now and then for one thread, but I think it's been a while.

[Rhubarbodendron]

Cool! Thanks a lot! I think I'll have a look at Wordforge and maybe even join there

[ElimParra]

I'm still around.

Any of the old LoNAF members still around?

I'm sure I saw vedek loki look at the board a few months ago. And with LONAF, I decided to take a look at it a few months ago.

I've seen him around once or twice a year.

There have been several, but could be either Santaman or Danoz (who ran the most recent one a few years ago)

And where are Evil Robert?

Still in Melbourne, I think. I saw him 3 years when Emh was visiting.

I remember posting on Trekbbs when pc moniters were made of glass, windows came with a dos mode, and you were envious of a family member who had a 56k dial-up modem. lol

We are moving to fast i tell you. lol
