I remember my old username. Now I wish I didn't

I remember Badgers.....

But mods don't need no stinkin' badgers.

 

[Mallory]

Right after the badgers we got the Great Sloth War.

 

[TheBrew]

I try to remember, but the tequila doesn't let me.

 

[Awesome Possum]

I remember Enterpriser, a troll of true legend with no equal. I admire him the same way I admire a shark, perfectly suited for his life and nothing else. I can only imagine what he is doing now. Also I remember the death of The Neutral Zone, the coming of the Briar Patch, and the rebirth of TNZ.

Enterpriser was before my time, sadly. I never knew his excellence.

I remember when QSF and MA were worth reading.

Sometimes his posts contained a certain eloquence.

I remember your old username.


I remember the Christmas Day Massacre. (I survived, but just barely.)

I remember Big Blue and no avatars at all.

I remember CTAUNH being referenced everywhere, all the time.

I remember when Enterprise was discovered to have been an adaptation of Winnie-the-Pooh. I remember Slothura.

I also remember my very first post on TrekBBS, telling Kor he was wrong about something.

 

[Mallory]

I remember when Enterprise was discovered to have been an adaptation of Winnie-the-Pooh.

So do I.

Having spent some quality (?) time with young children over the weekend, I was gifted with an amazing insight. Paramount is actually drawing on another long-lived and beloved franchise in their production of Enterprise. Yep, it's our childhood favorite, Winnie the Pooh!

Face it, Archer is the classic Pooh, the bumbling, yet beloved leader of the group. Trip makes a fine Piglet. Archer (Pooh's) greatest friend and companion, and yet, somehow afraid and not quite as bold or bright. T'Pol is obviously wise old Rabbit, the one with all the good advice that no one listens to, and who prefers to live away from the others. Eeyore is a near-perfect representation of the gloomy and morose Reed. Mayweather is an excellent Roo, the young one always eager to go along and participate in the adventure (and usually being left behind). Phlox is the effervescent Tigger (Optimism, Captain!), excited and interested in what's going on. Forrest is Kanga, the stern, yet fair "mother" to the bunch. And Hoshi, is of course, the Pot of Hunny (honey).

All we need is the occasional voice-over of Rick Berman as Christopher Robin while our intrepid adventurers explore the 100 Acre Woods, oops, 100 Light-Year Woods. And I won't even mention the demographics.

 

[Candlelight]

I remember heaps:

- Stastny from Canada
- Barcode from England
- The original blue boards
- The previous grey boards
- September 11 and the flood of Misc that it generated
- The end of Voyager and the start of Enterprise
- Starscream's constant argument with me that he created the Beam To menu, when it was in fact me
- My fights and then hilarious image threads with my arch nemesis Reza
- My first post about which was the worst episode of Voyager, ironic considering it's my favourite Trek show
- The chat room, and the spamming that killed it
- Enterpriser's dominance over the boards
- The death of Nibbles
- The death of my cat Sausage and the support everyone gave me to get through it

Whatever happened to them?

 

[Goji]

I have fond memories of the badgers and sloths. I remember being a flaptain and starting my ridiculous cult based initially on the extreme overuse of the utterly creepy smilie. Cool people joined it and it was fun, except for Enterpriser, who just didn't get it (probably because he overused the utterly creepy smilie).

My favorite memory is still going away for a week and coming back to find the entire Misc. forum was using my avatar. Mallory was responsible (mostly), and I see he's gone back to using the signature I gave him as a "thank you" gift.

I remember MajorBarcalow from my time before posting here. I was just lurking then. But it was amusing stuff to read.

I do not remember the great Christmas whatever, because I wasn't posting here at the time. I showed back up again a few months later and didn't know anything was different for a long time. I'm not very observant.

I also remember The Week That Was, and how badly I tried to screw up my "profile" when Katie chose me as the poster of the week one time. I think I came off very well, all things considered.

I remember when the Admiral's Lounge was split and I found that all of my friends were suddenly in a different lounge and I was trapped all alone with odd and very scary people (with apologies to anyone who was there at the time).

I also remember a lot of stuff about TNZ, but I don't care because that place really sucks.

I remember nothing else. NOTHING ELSE!

Badgers

NOT. DEAD.

ELECTRICAL SUPERSTORMS!

 

[T'Baio]

ELECTRICAL SUPERSTORMS!

Oh, God, no! I had completely forgotten about that!

I got more than a few looks at work over that one!

 

[Gepard]

I remember when:

--People drooled over the trailer for the last half of Voyager's seventh season.

--People watched Endagme for the first time, and flamewars happened about Janeway's competency.

--Stewey's rants in the ENT forum.

--Nobody knew what the underside of the NX-01 looked like.

--Everyone thought the TV Guide image was fake.

--Enterpriser's "Facts" threads for each new episode of ENT.

--Cogley and the Interregnum hoax/meme in the ENT forum.

--Cogley's Enterprise reviews.

--My joining the boards briefly during ENT's second season, under the name Akiraprise, and being very surprised that it hadn't been taken yet. I still sort of wish I had the name back.

--When Jammer would actually moderate.

 

[ThankQ]

I remember the greatest poster this board has ever known, Reno Floyd.

I remember the "Summer of Sloth"

I remember MissThang and I selecting the winners of The Golden Porthos.

I remember when CrusherBunny was still a bunny.

 

[The Cutest of Borg]

Mr. Stinky Pant's first exit from the forum when he posted his password for the fastest poster to take over his account.
