Refresh my memory, fair denizens...

I posted on and off toward the end of last year, but I haven't been seriously reading since last summer. Just looking for a quick cliffs-notes update about what's changed since then.
 
We've had many interesting discussions in the past year or so. My all-time favorites were the "Confession" thread done by Holdfast and the "Crush" thread, spawned by the Confessions thread. I think the attention-whoring has been kept to a minimum, but there have been several issues with the mods not liking certain types of posts.
 
Ummm. not to provoke anything but are you aware of a certain poster who pretended that his "wife" died, who was his (sigh..or her) dual.

Not much else happened.
 
Sigh. I probably shouldn't have brought that up. I don't want to derail this thread, please... T'Bonz seemed to imply it in one thread last week.

Sorry.
 
Oh, I certainly wasn't planning to derail anything. I just hadn't heard one way or another.
 
Yeah, I was wondering what the hell happened. All I heard was that the whole issue with Plecostomus was resolved/discussed in TNZ, which I don't have access to.

Well, I beat you to Fleet Admiral...never thought that would happen. :eek: :lol:
 
Not much has changed really. More of the regular posters from days gone by seem to have dropped off the radar (I can't think of anyone specifically at the moment but there has just been a feeling that there are more new people around). There have been some annoying duals and ensigns who like to cause trouble, but mostly things have been the same as always. Of course I'm still around and posting about as much as I always have (I've been here almost 6 years now!). There have been many complaints of awful ads, finally compelling me to get a premium membership. The Ugo logo has changed.

Oh! The big change was the rearranging of several forums, as you will notice on the front page. The categories have different names and there was much debate on how things should be organized.

Less relationship threads, more threads about job loss and health issues. Sad times!

I have missed you though. As I was reading several threads throughout the past months I found myself wondering how you would have responded!

I would normally say something witty at this point but as you can tell from my recent threads I have been exhaustingly busy lately and right now I am tired of using my brain for any sort of critical thought. Or non critical for that matter.
 
Hey, 005. Remember this conversation we had (via PM)? As I recall, I had said something to you in a joking kind of way that offended you, and I apologized for that, too.

I've always enjoyed reading your posts. You were the first person on my "buddy list," so to speak, which I found to be quite an honor. ;)

Ah I see. I wasn't aware of that one. Friends came up with doubleohfive for me when I was in college because I used to write spy stories all the time for fiction-writing classes, and because there was no 005 in the original Fleming novels.

I took no offense, i was just curious about your intention because I couldn't recall any previous hostility between us. Unfortunately, I have had people attack me from (seemingly) out of the blue for reasons unknown to me, hence my query.

Thanks for the response though, I very much appreciate it. No hard feelings here.

I'm just trying to understand what the whole "doubleohzero" thing was about.

If you have a legitimate beef with me, let's hear it. I'd much rather actually have a chance to respond / defend myself / discuss it as opposed to blind drive-bys.

Thanks.
Sorry it took me a long time to reply to your message. Didn't realize I had a PM all this time.

In response to your question, no, you did not insult or offend me in any way. The term "Double-oh-Zero" was something I picked up from James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies Another Day or some rather silly subtitle. But the point was, I was being silly when I used that term, and it was unfortunate that you took it as an offensive remark. I was making a reference to your former user name, i.e., doubleohfive. When I post, I usually say Trekker instead of Trekker7474 or Drone instead of Drone36929.

I regret any inconvenience this may have caused you.

:)

@Drone -- I do remember that. It's just like me (at least the me I was then before I became the me I am now) to jump off a cliff like that. Yeesh. How've ya been?

@Spot's Meow -- hello! I was on Facebook the other day and saw you had updated your profile and I remembered we used to chat all the time. Definitely good times. I'll see about responding to some of these threads and make up for list time. How's things?
 
To paraphrase Q:
"Good to see you, doubleoh. Things have been awfully dull around here ... now you're on this, I hope we're going to have some gratuitous sex and violence!"

:D

No big deal. ;)

Things have been going well. I try to keep a low profile as usual and have learned to take things with a grain of salt. :D Glad to see some familiar faces (or names) back again. :cool: I think RedFenix pops in from time to time, too.

What uuuuuuuuuup Seeker? How's married life treating ya? Thanks for the welcome!

Can't complain. We're getting ready to welcome a new addition to the household in a couple of weeks! :D

I expect 100 pictures of your daughter within the first week, alone. And of course they'll all be completely brilliant. How's your wife doing? You two must be so excited!
