There was the Spiderweb ikonBoard before this. Before that, there were the Lyceum boards on Dencity and Aceron's boards and the Arena on InsideTheWeb. [ Saturday, March 26, 2005 20:30: Message edited by: Imban ] Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

quote:Whenever I refer to myself as "a fan of Galactic Core" I have to correct myself and insert "(the?)" right after "a" to make the uncertainty of my exact status clear. quote:With my participation on these boards so far, I have more than sufficiently demonstrated that the former is true. Still, if you don't believe me, you could email Richard White and he would be more than happy to take the receipt for my purchase of Galactic Core off of his wall, out of its expensive frame, and send you a scan of it.

I don't have one. When you post once every six months like I do, you don't need one and I doubt I would notice if I did get one. Posts: 586 | Registered: Saturday, October 20 2001 07:00 |

As Imban's mentioned, there were actually several different community forums before the SW UBB; at least 5 by my count, one of which (The Lyceum) is still going strong. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

There were Aceron's BoE and Arena boards, and then the Lyceum on Dencity and ITW, and the Arena and Lyceum on ezBoard, plus TM's board and Brett's BoE board. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Yep, that was me. Except it was "The Sorcerer". Oops, guess I'm not as much of an oldbie as I thought. My mistake.

I guess I'm a somewhat older newbie. Or a very new middle-bie. Anyhow, newbiehood is relative. Don't forget that I'm nearly a year older than Kelandon, and of the two of us, he's twice the oldbie I am. :P -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Actually, I think Kel started in 2004, not long before me. I reckon I still qualify as newbie. EDIT: Any ideas for a new moniker for me? I could always use my college telnet logon (yes, we used telnet back then), Milleran. It's a bit weak though...

By 2003-on, I meant from 2003 up to the present. Not the best way to state it, I suppose. Actually, I ought to have included BSC and you, AM, with the three of us in the group of active recent arrivals. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

I'll probably always be a newbie. :P BtW, FBM, did you notice you were un-canned before Drakey's post? -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

I once received the custom title "Can o' Spam" for posting to frequently. Of course, considering my idiocy, the quality of any of my posts is quite low. Posts: 356 | Registered: Tuesday, April 6 2004 07:00 |

I actually noticed it, the same day. I'm at the very maximum, a middlebe. Maybe an oldbie, simply through member number, if you're only taking this board into account. Maybe even a newbie, if you're taking the whole lifespan of the community into account. Then again, I'm just me. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Well, there are newbies, which is a state of being and adaptation to the community, which could last a week or two years. Then you're just a member. And there comes oldbie. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
