Pfft when you have posters that can recall John and James, Mrs LePont, Jesus4U, and the rampaging Katie then you're talking old faces.

Has the database been cleared of old threads? Trying to find one a member named BeachBum raised in here back in the dim dark ages when dinosaurs and C++ walked the earth :(

He cannot be pre-historic, as being pre-historic would imply that he was not part of history and therefore did not exist back then. Obviously, he existed back then; therefore, he is not pre-historic, but in fact part of history.

You work at UCLA, right? If I ever visit that place, I'll be sure to call 911 at night, just so we can have a nice chat.

Actually pre-historic means "before written history".

I think I joined just after the big crash so I can't really comment on that.

Those were good times...

Kind words summoned me back from the wilderness of obscure soldering and firmware hacking. I remember when I was a software nerd. VBF was awesome back then.

Mendhak, Bodwad, NoteMe, ElectroMan, TomGibbons, Emil, TS, .... the list goes on. Billgeek was definitely a major contributor when I was active here :)

I learned VB6 (1999) and C# (2003 onwards) on VBF. Had it not been for VBForums.com I'd have made nothing of my life by now. Oh wait.

It amuses me greatly that VBF still has the Doomsharp forum. Now that was a fun project.

Rhythm is the key as we open up the door.

And still I'm not paying more.

Spoonguard!!!

Ubuntard

Yes folks, VBForums was on the forefront of trolling probably 3 years before the rest of the world.

You are all sponges in my book.

Very cool thread: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...e-Screen-Shots

Not heard from Note in a while. Hope he's doing OK. Let me know if you manage to get in touch with him.

He showed up just recently over in some other thread started by Peet.

I still say we should kidnap NoteMe

To what end? There would be so many alternatives.

Torcher and waterboarding? Chains and whips? Ok im getting weird here :ehh:

Keep going, you'll probably find that he's already there.

Wait that wasnt him blowing people up in Boston was it? Why Boston? Might as well be Idaho.

You actually need help.

I work at a (an?) University, but not UCLA. MUAH HAHAHA Good luck finding me.

University - starts with kind of a Y-sound - like "young" - so it's "a university"

That is what I figured. I don't remember learning that in school... Always went with what sounded correct.

I want that picture in a frame. I think that thread has actually encouraged me into getting into my career as a consultant in embedded linux, as well as other things.

Oh god, I've created... a MONSTER!!!

Amusingly enough, I've still got the hardware from that project.

You heard it here folks, wossname is actually Victor Frankenstein. News at 10.

That reminds me of the time I tried cheese making. I was trying to get a particularly sharp cheddar, as those are pretty interesting. Things were going pretty well up until the time I tried it out for the first time. My first indication that something was wrong when the knife cut it way too easily, and way too messily. In fact, the cheese was kind of soft and creamy. The taste was anything but sharp, too. In fact, it was quite mild and a bit sweet. In horror, I exclaimed, "Oh God, I've created...a meunster!!!"

You have to wonder if that's the most common expression uttered by new fathers upon seeing their children in a certain town in Germany, too.

Falsch!
Das kann niemals mein Baby sein!


BTW the town is called Münster (using your keyboard Muenster)

Do you think _God_ is watching over us? :ehh:

Given his postcount, he can watch, but if he wants to post/say something he needs an admin to aproof :cool:

God answers to Brad

Unless Brad is like Jesus, then that would make Brad God.

I Am God. Brad Jones answers only to me.

God, could you give me 6 lotto numbers ? I need some money.

I don't think God works like that.

Why not ? He is God and he loves us so he should be willing to help his lowly creations. Besides, he seems to love people cheering him on and if he gives me the numbers, I'll be his cheerleader until the day I die.

Not so sure that God loves people cheering him on that much to be honest. Anyway, the Big G has a bit of a thing about money. Easier for a Sopwith Camel to thread a needle and stuff like that. On the whole I don't think 'help' and 'money' are ever really considered to be in the same category by God (although sadly this view is not shared by all His alleged followers!)

Have you heard of Basic4android?

Seems to be very popular for Android apps.

I was refering to the horrible IDE of eclipse, not Java in general.

Say I hear that walking dead guy died, true?

Ah, you just reminded me i haven't yet seen Evil dead 2013 so i bought a copy (from mtorre...ehm) and i am downloa, eh, i mean cracking the case open right now.
Of course Europe has more relaxed laws when it comes to movies at home....And software....And music.....
Ehem, of course i detest piracy and this is in no way a message to anyone to use pirated software, ok? Thanks.
(And anyhow it's RobDog's fault because he reminded me of Evil Dead movies :P )

You are going to spawn the banhammer
