Any old timers still around?

Welcome back, Wacky! 
Starkers, you registered here about half a year before me, but I can't recall your name. I stuck mainly to the Lounges and Misc, though, as I still do. Which are your favourite board sections?
Oh, speaking of sections - what became of Section 31? Is he still around?

^Didn't he get sectioned?

Well for a long time I was mainly to be found in Fanfic/Doctor Who but I have branched out a bit more in the last few years, and I haven't hung around in fanfic for years. Now it's mainly Dr Who/Te and media, science fiction and fantasy, sport (though mostly just the soccer thread) and I've started hanging around misc a lot lately
There are loads of names I didn't recognise on this thread who've been here as long (sometimes longer) as me. Guess a lot of us just stuck to very specific boards. I don't know how some people have the time to crop up in so many
It's a matter of age, I suppose. In my experience days get waaaay shorter when you're getting on in years 
(nights, too, unfortunately)
Dr Who doesn't air in my country, so I never saw (or read) any. That would explain why we never met. I haven't read any Trek fanfic either yet. Is there an author you would recommend? I'm more into Highlander (series) fanfiction and started to write a story, quite a while ago. Alas, with my recent move and the trouble I had with my old landlady for the last 12 months, I didn't get on with it. I'm trying to introduce a new character and at the same time rewrite the last movie which was utter crap, though the basic idea was actually quite good. Classical case of either bad director or - more likely - too many co-producers/financers blackmailing him into inserting their weird ideas.
@ trekkiedane: LOL I love your wicked sense of humour

I've always been Nerys Myk, even though people thought I was female. The name reflected my love of DS9 and Kira. Plus its a variation of my real name.
I found this place because someone on another board mentioned there was a poster called "Captain April" over here. I had written a story featuring April, that's why he brought it up. Hearing there was a site devoted to Star Trek was like "Sign me up!"

I was briefly Kegek. Otherwise no.
I don't know. I remember chosing this name to use as a game save for a Star Trek game (I think Starfleet Academy, do not quote me on that) and I've used it on the internet ever since, despite it being basically a randomly arbitrary sound that myself at half my current age thought sounded cool.
Someone who also who had no idea what a 'keg' was.
Now that name takes me back.
I changed my username, but it was a time where you had to delete your account and start a new one. I've been considering some other names I can use, but since I'm not all that creative, I've never changed it. Of course if anyone has any suggestions for a holiday name, that will be fun. I know that's coming up in a month.
I've been here nearly 12 years, dunno if that makes me an old-timer or not.
I left in 2002 or 2003 due to trouble with flamers and trolls some of whom appear to be still around, hence I chose a different name when I re-registered.
Plus: this one is next to impossible to hack - nobody could spell it properly

Who were you back in 2002-2003?
someone else 
As I said, the flamers and bullies from 2002/3 are still on the user list. I'd rather not reveal my old identity. Don't want Bonzie to have to deal with a flame war.
I'll give you a clue, though: I am neither Red Whacker nor Lighter nor Che.
Speaking of oldtimers: what happened to PreatorX, Verteron and TLE?

TEH BABA ate them.
I haven't seen PreatorX for a long time. Vert still turns briefly up now and then - his most recent post showing was in September. Teelie was also showing up irregularly, but I think it's been a few months since I saw him last.
I was Captain Napalm when I first joined, which seems pretty weird, now. I swapped it for a more appropriate Calvin & Hobbes reference. Funny to think that now I've been posting on here for longer than that strip ran.
I probably wouldn't choose it now, but at this point, it seems pointless to change it.

Spiff, I approve of your avatar.
I think real life claimed PreatorX - I remember chatting with him a bit several years ago. A good guy he was.
On the name thing, most of my time here, I've been ElimParra, except that year I was ParanoidTailor.
I agree. He seemed to be a very nice guy. I didn't like one of his RL friends, though, who sold drugs. That's exactly the kind of friends an insecure teenager does absolutely not need.
Last thing I heard of PX was that he was considering to go to university, preferably somewhere south whith more warmth and light. He said he suffered from winter depression.
I missed Vert's last appearance. Ah, maybe next time
Teelie and his wicked sense of humour always appealed to me. I met him in chat a few times and found im a very pleasant guy.
Elim, weren't you an EFCL member as well? One of the very early members even, if I am nost mistaken.
MrSilver you are a new one for me. Afaik we haven't met before and we have no mutual friends, it seems. I suppose we always prefered different parts of the board and therefore never met.
But I do recall M'Sharak and SpacemanSpiff from back then

Why, lil' old me?
Joined in 2004 but took a very long hiatus to go to college and stuff. I miss you people.
I was. EFCL was a great board. Well except a lot of the stuff with the Senate. First posted as Elim, and then as Joel.
