Any old timers still around?

[M'Sharak]

The other guy I meant is younger than Addie and came from a Belgian town in the dutch-speaking part of the country. If I recall correctly he had a tank in his avatar for a while.
I don't know much else about him. He joined in 2002, was a member of EFCL (no founder, though, I believe), was possibly on Wordforge or Lonaf as well and posted at TK for a while. He was in his early 20s then, so he would have been born around 1980.
His political opinions were rather frighteningly right-wing which was why I broke off the contact very abruptly.
I once saw a photo of him. He was dark haired which stuck in my memory as it's not typical for people in his region and I had expected him to be blonde.
Somehow I always think of the letter P with him. Maybe his real name started with a P but I am not sure at all - I have a horribly bad memory for names. I only could come up with that long list because I used to admin the very first EFCL (the EZboard one) and had a backup of the userlist.

PitAP, maybe? I know he was at LoNAF.

 

[Aurian]

Wow, you really do keep detail about people around.. its a veritable trip down memorylane.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

well, we're getting old (present company excluded, of course!) and it appears to be a typical oldtimer thing to remember ancient history better than current affairs

Thanks, M'sharak. It might indeed have been PitAP. Perhaps I still have an old chat log or a contact list somewhere. I'd just have to check who I have blocked.

I have been here 11 1/2 years... So, I'm almost a noob!

As I said before my 12th anniversary is next April...2001 was a great year for nOObs, wasn't it? The mad rush of interest caused by the end of Voyager and the start of Enterprise resulted in perhaps the biggest surge in board membership in its entire thirteen-year history.

You and I used to be co-drivers in the Admirals' Race threads, remember? I don't know if we still are...for a good long while after I stopped posting in them I saw that you and I were still listed as co-drivers of cars in the races and sometimes did pretty well considering neither one of was no longer an active participant!

Hey, the other Hullian's here.

Alight Bob?

What did you make of the new red dwarf?

I rather enjoyed it. though it was hit and miss for some episodes. still intend picking up the blu-ray.

I liked the first three, didn't laugh much after that. Hope you enjoy the Bluray. I expect I will see them again as they are repeated on Dave from now till the end of time.

Looking at this thread I realize I just missed my 11th anniversary here.

Time flies...

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

I've been here since 2/2004.

I'm pretty sure Pere is American [...]

I am indeed!

 

[T'Bonz]

We were all many different things when we were young, Bonz. Time settles many down.

That is true. But he seemed to be set apart from the typical young'uns back then, he had real issues that went beyond the trolling for lulz-type poster. I wasn't even sure he would survive to become older.

Could it be that Bonzie keeps his remains in her freezer?

Mr. T'Bonz and I met Christian last year when we were in the Netherlands. I can say I had a drink with the great C-Meister. He's rather normal (not aloof or whatever people think of him) and much less shy than I think he was as a younger man.

Santaman and his brother came to town by train to meet up with us during the same trip (different meet-up though.) We had a nice lunch, with us laughing and talking incessantly about TrekBBS and all of the nutcases (including us, of course) around here.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

Yep, Santy told me afterwards. Had I known it earlier, I'd have rented a car and joined the meeting. It's just a 10 hour drive and my Dutch is good enough to rent a hotel room . It'd have been fun to meet Santy and SpaceBall again.

Any chance of you and Mr'Bonz ever coming to Bavaria? I could show you around a bit. There are many lovely places the ordinary tourist doesn't get to.

 

[Rincewiend]

Wow, there are quite a few names I don't recognize.
Rincewiend, do you by any chance post at StarTrek.nl as well? I lurk there mostly, because my Durch isn't that good yet, but occasionally I make a post there.

Nope.
That one might post as Rincewind though...
I have a added e...

I to celebrate my 12th year on the boards next year as well (In March, I think). But I can't really remember what was going on board wise in 2001.

I am indeed!

I blame Pere.

Damn, that felt good!

Batlh: PitaP / Joker / Jurgen is Dutch. I think you are right, I remember a Belgian too.

 

[Jim Gamma]

Piar? He's Swedish though...
Phoonzang was I think American...
Not Peter Octavian I assume...
PG15? Pthalo Bluemoon? Puritan?

 

[PsychoPere]

I blame Pere.

I'm sure I deserve it for something!

 

[rhubarbodendron]

being male, you naturally do. We have a saying here: if you put all men in a sack and hit it at random, you'll never hit the wrong one.

Thanks for trying to help me with that Belgian bloke. I'm fairly sure it was none of these. (btw, I remember Phtaloblue moon, is he still around? - somehow I always thought that was a female poster)
I'll have a look on my old backups, perhaps I can find an ancient chat log or a contact list.

 

[T'Bonz]

Bastian? AdAstra?

Remind me never to let you convince me to step into any sacks, or at the very least, remind me to wear a helmet!

 

[Captain_Nick]

Bastian?

Lol, Bastian and Calli, sworn enemies of the EFCL

It's weird how even after all these years the same people are still posting here.

It's like coming home after a loooooooong holiday.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

Bas and calli were both members of EFCL. At that time they had their own board, though: Muked-SDG. It was hosted by Bas' boss. After 1 or 2 years he needed the serverspace and Bas and calli decided to let the board die. As it was a friendly and funny board, we members decided to not give up that easily and so I rented a server segment, registered a domain and 10 years later (exactly 10 years, today ! =) ) SDG is still there (though inactive).
I've never again heard from bas and calli, though. Is anyone in contact with them?

Bastian? AdAstra?

Naah, Addie is a nice guy (and Dutch, not Belgian. Admittedly a difficult difference, given the size - or lack of - of both countries *ducks and hides from Santaman and C* )
