I just joined these wonderful forums as you may have noticed. And as so many people before me have already said I can only admire the amount of work and dedication with wich this project is brought along! All the devs (but also of course everyone who contributed to botfii) should really get a big THANK YOU!!! Well, I've been skimming through these forums for quite some time but never really had the chance to join because of my workload.... Anyways, now I'm here and I would like to add a little personal comment to my post:
Jade, you are not alone anymore!

A VERY BIG WELCOME TO OUR SECOND FEMALE MEMBER!

Why you, could be anyone even me (GET REAL TREKBOY )

yeah, yeah, give her some room. Anyway welcome to the forum Rebecca, hope you stay and chat with us.

Welcome.

Thats about all to say.

And dont get scared of by those scary programmers

Oh my gosh Gavin! What a question... But hey - and please promise you won't tell anyone - I think I am just a little too old for ya (if that avatar of yours does you any justice). Now, I'm not saying I'm a granny but let's say I am one of those Kirk admirers....
Anyways, I were 20 years younger you wouldn't be save from me.

welcome.
@trekboychris, refrain from useing caps.

welcome rebecca.

@gavin, nice 1. older woman are hotter ( <40 , although demi moore is doin ok.... (personal taste only, not the opinion of the mods(well maybe, who nos!))
@ everyone, please dont start a poll about this....

@Gavin
Did you read my signature? Ask my ex... He called me an uncontrollable shrew. After that I gave him a copy of Shakespeares piece Taming of the shrew... Maybe you should read that too before you can claim things like that. (Yeah, you're right, I am crazy)

And to y'all: thank you for such a nice welcome! I'm really happy to be here... I loved to play botf and I am so sure I'll love to play botfii a lot more!

the easy way to tame a shrew is to step on the little bugger.
@ all the over active testosterone laden members, refrain from hasseling female members.

Ouch, Jig... Hope you don't wanna step on me then!
By the way: about the whole testosterone thing. Don't worry! I can handle some drooling teens... (I'm a teacher ya know)
The alternative would be me telling y'all about all my men stories. But I guess that really does not belong here.

your uni entrance? where did you go to university? I went to Texas State at Austin.
And right now I'm free but I guess it would take too long to get to England I've gotta go to work tomorrow!

ummmm.. did I say something wrong? It's just that that reply seems a little...angry... Or am I mistaken? If I did say something wrong then I'm truly sorry, Gavin! Or anyone else who may have taken offense.

oh.. well then GO DERBY! It's always good to be proud of who you are. And believe me I know what I'm sayin' 'cos I'm a TEXAS brat.

i went to derby university as well for computer studies with networking

really? why that's nice! I never really was one for computers and stuff (except botf of course!!). I studied English Lit and German.

oh... having just written that last post I wonder if therer are any Germans here so we could have a little chit chat. I mean I have to stay in training! Also: wenn ihr hier seid dann lasst mal was von euch hören!
If the moderators don't want any foreign language here I can understand that. Just let me know.

this has to be the fastest reply rate ever for a forum

thanks... I guess. well, no thanks definately! That's a nice compliment UnDated!
And about your post earlier about older women being hotter... I think you're right (well I have to be since I am one ) but, ya know, not only men grow more and more distinguished over the years. It's just like a bottle of Whiskey, if that's an appropriate analogy.

Nice to meet you Rebecca, my English is bad enough at times let along German so i think i'll let a Native german take there best shot

Gavin, if you don't mind answering what and perhaps why did you have to do shakespeare for your Uni entrance?

I would assume A-levels are all that are needed along with perhaps the occasional interview, never really heard much along the terms of some kind of "entrance exam" except for some of the top Universities.

oh and woot to raiden us computer scientists have to stick together. especially when i haven't much of a clue on the subject

Life is but a walking shadow ...

Yes, there are Germans on this forum. Me, for example ...

a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage...
So you are German, huh? Well then let's have a littel German talk...if you like that is of course-

Kein Problem - bis auf eins - ich muss allmählich ins Bett, da ich morgen arbeiten muss.

Na dann beeilen wir uns wohl besser. Wo in Deutschland wohnst du denn?

only if one of the moderators can read german guys, iwulff may be able to. if not converse via pm.
