The State of VBForums

[Niya]

Careful Roman, some people 'round here might think you're living a rich fantasy life

[dilettante]

I was thinking that a woman who used to work at the convenience store down the road but doesn't anymore does not count as an "ex."

[Niya]

lol...

[dilettante]

I need to get one of those rich lives myself, fantasy or otherwise. Too much time on the forums lately.

[Niya]

Ain't missing much. Grass seeming greener and all that. At least here you can fix bugs but when your fantasies glitch out you can't fix those bugs. You can only switch to another and hope its an upgrade but usually its just a competing model hence it always has its own set of bugs, hell, sometimes even the same bugs.

The thing that strikes me is how many of the MIA members are still moderators. I can't remember the last time I saw a Mendhak post but he's still on the ASP.Net moderators list. Our pun rating is suffering for his absence.

It's as though the moderators moderate moderation.

[oceanebelle]

Did someone say rice?!!

[dclamp]

Woo the world is coming back together

[Jacob Roman]

VBForums Fricken Reunion Party!!! Lets celebrate by drinking a 40

[FunkyDexter]

It's as though the moderators moderate moderation

You know, that was moderately funny.

[TheBigB]

Am I late to the party? Some post about Norwegians walking their fish got me here...

So what's up people?

[Niya]

Wow old timers are just crawling out of the woodworks now.

[Jacob Roman]

Somebody go kidnap NoteMe! Well undo his blindfold later as soon as we drag him to the party kicking and screaming.

[CVMichael]

Is Merri still around?

[TheBigB]

Wow old timers are just crawling out of the woodworks now.

Oh now I feel old.

[TheBigB]

Does kregg still roam around here? I think I have him on Steam.

[Niya]

Oh now I feel old.

lol....I heard in yall's time this place was really pumpin....you're enviable old man

[Justa Lol]

Well I never ever ever put up personal information on the web, especially not FB. No pictures no nothing. So no one can link any of my antics online to me.

whatever you're doing online is already linked to you through your isp.

You should never mix your professional and personal life in the web - I stay off FB for that reason...

and what if the professional life is facebooK? (developers)

[Niya]

whatever you're doing online is already linked to you through your isp.

Unless I'm DDOSing government websites or something, no one is going through the trouble of contacting my ISP to find out where I've been on the internet or who I am.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Wow, nostalgia is just like having people around.

[penagate]

I miss nostalgia.

[dclamp]

does kregg still roam around here? I think i have him on steam.

klegg!!

[Jacob Roman]

I miss nostalgia.

OMG its pen =O

[FunkyDexter]

klegg!!

There's a derth of Lolcats so I guess he's not here.

[opus]

Where have you all been?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Do you even count? While your join date is pre-historic, you've certainly been around plenty.

[opus]

Haven't been active as I've been a couple of years ago.
I'm still trying to "pay back" what I have learned from all of you.

I still like to have a short (more or less) look into CC, my responses however can't keep up with all of you native speakers.

[Niya]

...While your join date is pre-historic...

Lol, that's nothing....This guy is pre-historic. His join date isn't even in this century!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Wow, I didn't even think any went back that far. I thought all those accounts were lost in the Great Crash, which was before my time, but people were still sobbing, mopping about, and spamming grief counselors by the time I signed up.

[TheBigB]

I still remember we had monthly themes for the avatars (hence the pirate in mine).

[TheBigB]

Somebody go kidnap NoteMe! Well undo his blindfold later as soon as we drag him to the party kicking and screaming.

I spotted him! It was that damned Norwegian fish thread again (I have no idea what they're saying in that thread).

[Jacob Roman]

Hes probably hiding in Facebook

Wow this is turning into one hell of a reunion. MUST HAVE MORE!!

[opus]

I still remember we had monthly themes for the avatars (hence the pirate in mine).

One of the (terrible) old members still has his winter/christmas avatar running.

[dclamp]

One of the (terrible) old members still has his winter/christmas avatar running.

Who would do such a thing

[opus]

Actually I was thinking about using my winter-avatar again, just because of the actual weather (cold, snow .....)

[opus]

@dclamp:
Looking at your location and the actual time of day, you probably can't see any snow.

[dclamp]

Living in Southern California, 20 minutes from the beach... no snow . 1.5 hour drive to the mountains and I can get some snow!

[opus]

Totally wrong smily, it should look like "..no snow ".
Your day should be over by now, I'm already at work (the next day)

[dclamp]

haha that is true! I am glad I dont have to deal with snow. I guess its nice that i can at least drive to see it.

And yes, Its 0121 here. I am nocturnal, so i will be up until like 0600

[Jacob Roman]

I wish I was as nocturnal as you are so I can stay up late and work on my projects. Unfortunately I have what some people call a "job." Life sucks.
