Oldest noob account ever

As the topic line states, this (my) account has got to be the oldest "noob" account in the history of internet message boards. I created this account some time in December 03. Then pretty much immediately forgot about it before ever really using it. Then, the other night, I decided I wanted to create an account here (still not having remembered about this one), but since I still have the same primary e-mail as I did back then, the site wouldn't let me create one, as I already was registered here. Funny how things work out, isn't it? lol

PS. Has anyone else had trouble keeping their time-zone setting kept where you want it? Mine keeps going to some default setting, which is about 3 hours behind what it should be.

 

Welcome to the boards! And you're not the only one to have registered an account and forgotten about it, and I'm sure you're not the only one to eventually come back

Standard board time is Pacific (PST), though I'm not sure why you're having trouble keeping your settings - might be something to do with your computer. Unless you're switching computers (like at a library or something), because its a setting that is computer-specific.

I see you've already found the Literature board Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

 

Now that you mention it, the browsing history on the computer I use (my home one) has been deleted a couple times over the last couple days. That could be the reason why. And yeah, it was the Lit board that got me to try and create an account the other day. You can imagine how surprised I was when it told me I can't, before I realized why. lol

 

Will do. Looks like a good board to be a part of (again). But it looks like I missed out on all of the Traviss talk. lol

 

Oh trust me, I read most of the discussions as they happened.

 

I hadn't found out I still had an account, and really didn't want to be "some noob only here to bash Traviss". lol

 

I'm sure I probably could've/would've been viewed as a little less...sympathetic towards Traviss. So it was probably for the best that I only spectated the discussions. lol

I figured I might as well join up (again) because there were some discussions that I had an opinion on, and really wanted to voice it. So, here I am.

Now, do you mean, the other threads on this particular board? As in, actually welcome other new users? Or am I missing your meaning entirely?

 

Welcome back!

The Welcome Newbie Party is the social thread in this forum, BTW.

 

I see it now. Thanks.

 

Hey! Welcome back!

Hope to see you 'round.

Y'know, I never figured out the whole thing about people not liking Karen Traviss (Mostly because I avoid profic quite a bit). What's up with that? Does someone care to please enlighten me? *clueless*

Thanks in advance if you do, some way or another.

Again, welcome back! Hope you enjoy yourself on the boards.

My biggest problem with her was her poor characterizations of established characters. Making everyone in the galaxy (literaly) seem to love the Mandalorians, and view them as the absolute best at pretty much everything. Nobody could win an argument with a Mandalorian in her books. Even the really silly things, no one (especially Jedi) had any kind of retort. Jaina was called a "spoiled Jedi princess, that had never gotten her hands dirty" (or something to that effect) TO HER FACE. Her response? Nothing, as far as I remember. This after having served in the trenches of the Vong War pretty much from the start and being the "Sword of the Jedi". Yeah, that kinda perturbed me a bit.

*forces himself to stop before he really gets going*

There are some threads around that discuss all of it at length.

Oh, and thanks for the welcome, I'm sure we'll run into each other somewhere at some point.

 

It's why I stopped myself when I did. lol

That I have.
