Undated.. Two things pop to mind. To young to date (Never been kissed) NAH!!!! Or, IS somehow cought in the NEXUS where time stands still therefore is unaware of things like time and date.

Oh that's right..my other nicks! I forgot those.

They are usually something like:

Phoenix
Ellderon
Lord Ellderon
Lotion Sorronar <-- Tolkien Quenya meaning Toni (my name, meaning something like flowery) Firebird (Eagle of Fire, Phoenix)

I just generall recycle those on any forums

Half of the guys that you mentioned aren't with us anymore, Winter.

CVN-65 (Who has one of the best names on the forums as far as I care) simply disappeared. I wrote and constantly edited a PM to keep him updated on the changes on the forums in the vain hope he would return, but it's still lying in my outbox after all these months. I gave up updating it only recently.

Incidentally, anyone know where his old shipname thread went? SirPustekuchen might find it useful for BotE.

...

SOM only gets online once a month or so to check how things are progressing. Married life apparently does that to you! 8O

...

Scatter is still on the Quadrant, although to my knowledge he hasn't updated his fanfic in a long while.

...

Captain_Billy_Bacon - he's around, just nowhere near as much as he used to. I haven't spoken to him much on MSN in the last few months because I've been so busy and thanks to computer problems. Now that my computer is back, i'm gonna be online as much as I can.

Billy's name has pretty obvious origins though.

...

Silvercliff is hiding *somewhere*, although I believe he is still making stuff behind the scenes for BOTF2. Just don't ask me what coz even I don't know!

...

Rigel hasn't been on the forums in well over a year. I used to speak to him a lot on AIM, although he was the ONLY person I spoke to on AIM. MSN is better.

...

ZDarby is still out there - I *think* he's just moved to the main Armadafleetcommand forums rather than the BOTF2 forums.

...

Colione hasn't been around in a long while, although I believe he's still around on Scatter's The Quadrant website.

...

STHedgehog simply dissapeared. I haven't seen him since about a month after I joined the forums.

...

Marky...we don't mention him.

...

Fireball...hmm dunno where he's gone. I hope he isn't gone permanently coz his ship renders are amazing!

...

Those are all the old guys I can currently think of. I slipped in one or two you didn't mention, by the way Winter. I would love it if all the old guys came back. I love the sense of community on these forums (Especially when people actually bother to post stuff!) and these guys definitely contributed to that community. They are sorely missed.

Matress! I resemble that comment...

I'm married... and here all the time... He just must be praticing his "Docking" Techniques... that and the proper way to take out the trash before the garbage man gets there! LOL

CVN,, Now thats a NAVY man if I ever heard of one!

And whats with marky? pm me that answer..

As for the rest? Well dunno.....

but hey.. We be here eh Matress? No one has caught on that were like the Twins_of_evil.. lol....

Well mine came out of a need for a password on some system I was working on at work several years ago I needed one quickly. Not being the most creative of people and totaly frustrated that this system had used up all the passwords I used at that time. However I was going on holiday the next day so it was a sure bet I would forget it when I returned

So I need something I could easily recall and have to thank Terry Pratchett for it, I was reading one of his novels "The Thief Of Time" and one one of the lead characters was Lobsang. I also have been told Lobsang is a Tibettan name too.

Then a few days later I needed a login name for something and Lobsang sprung to mind.

I would like to think that most of my name is fairly obvious. Fox McCloud of the famous Starfox Mercenary Squadron. As for the other part... It has meaning but only very few people know what it is. It's not anything dirty or anything I just don't feel like mentioning it.

Fox - Can we guess for fun?????

Mine's pretty simple.. Ringold is my surname, and 'Capt' comes from...

Starting some where in 2000, started taking some flying lessons. It was cheaper then, and easier to further economize with some older models that were still more common. By 2001, started using 'CaptRingold' as most my forum names etc out of sheer enthusiasm at hopefully ending up a captain of some sort or another.

9/11/01 threw things out of whack. Energy prices spiked, and it hit av-gas harder than automotive blends. Only one or two US airlines managed to avoid bankruptcy. I might've loved flying, but.. as the Klingons would say, only a fool stays in a burning house. The best methods of economizing (flying C152's) were literally 'blown away' by Hurricane Charley couple years back.

I haven't touched a plane in about a year.. I won't make another 'CaptRingold' forum name anywhere, though I did have someone tell me helicopter pilots are in a serious shortage.. I'd look in to it, but I don't care what those chopper pilots say, if the engine dies, YOU die. At least my Cessna's become gliders.. I have a hard time getting over that.

lol Good point but what no spirit of adventure???

I have 10 hours flight time in a cessna.... but that was years ago..
(back in lst 70's) I would love to fly a helio.... but then i love danger..! lol

Really? You understand my love for flying then.

I've got around 45 in 152's, 45 in older 172's (N-models), 30 in newer SP models, and then 10 or so in DA-20/Katana's. Stopped juuust short of finishing my instrument rating.. too expensive..

Yes, you're definitely braver than I am though! I think it'd be great fun, much better view than from a cessna, but.. too risky for me.

It just depends. I mean I used to freestyle rock climb..(no ropes), Even jumped from an aircraft parachuting.. been caving, got to fly.. and got a ride in an F-15 Eagle -E at mach 3.. that was a blast! Now I want to go out on a huge ship, and fly to space... Then I might be happy! lol

errr kinda! lol

flew a cessna once (well had the flightstick in hand while the pilot laughed at me ). nice feeling. but mach3..? don't think my spine will hold a proper 9G maneuvre ..

I didnt fly it (but wanted to) just took a ride.. was a blast!

But then would you trust me with a billion dollar aircraft?? lol

Dunno...depends where/how it lands...

The only time I've ever been in a plane was when I went to Spain as a baby (Which I can't actually remember) and when I went to Jersey two years ago. I got to sit right by the wing though, and you're right, Ringold, it IS amazing the way the wings change shape throughout the flight.

I love it when threads go off-topic...

I remember the first time I flew... Thats not hard to do actually considering the first time I have ever flown on a jet anywhere in my life was a year or so ago... My parents prefer to hook up the pop up and campgroud hop to their destination. While that is fun and all, nothing beats being 30,000 feet in the air. Baically I had a choice, campground hop with my parents and my teenage female cousin from Central Texas to DC where my brother was at the time, or fly.

Boy, were my arms tired.

I can't wait until I can get in a cockpit one day and fly...

OUCH That is a sad sad old one... lol

you may get your wish Fox.. We may all be flying something before I kick the bucket.. lol

Jade = my name

no, kiddin?

Jade=royal chinese gemstone

precious...

hehe

Jade.

Thats it?? Alrighty then young lady! lol

no manners, that guy.. lol

Billy is short for Will
Will is short for William

Last name is Bacon (HELL YEA SUCH A GOOD NAME)

And i wanna be a captain

No brainer lol

8O Frodo is back!

k that one also was no brainer hehe


I recently found that thread with the pictures of you and i practically fell off the floor laughin with MoE's comparison.. unbelievable!

Billys gonna kill me for that, Mal...all over again... 8O

Oh well, at least I posted the one of me...didn't I?

Glad to see that other people besides me have migrated back to the forums after being gone for a while.

you gotta admit, it was so darn incredible, I mean his holding his head the same way and that look..


your "morphing" pic/gif also isn't from bad parents like we use to say here hehe

LOL, yes it was funny...

And whats this about no manners? I was polite to Jade!..

Besides I see her as yet another Daughter.. (like I need more the the 3 I have) But sense I look after so many of you youngins lol

Besides I like her FIRE.. she would make an Excellent Romulan!

Back to the topic of names for a while, Don't you think the Romulans have enough image problems without their ambasador having 'evil' in his name. Don't you think Hawk? Besides an ambasador under investigation, which is currently on hold on account of life getting in the way, for possibly sabatoging the Federations public databanks already has enough problems without such a name. Don't you think Winterhaw... Um... err... Evilhawk.

good point, fox.

anyway winter, i hear ya loud and clear or better I heard(!) ye you know too what one says about girls with just a surname...did you have to comment on that..

okay I had better kept my mouth shut on that one .. lol

Hmmm Fox... Hmmmmmmmmmm Darn I posted the reason on the other thread.. need to have it moved to here..

for the rest.. Well i'll behave

she has my respect...

[EDIT]

For other news. For those who noticed I have a name change, here is a short reason why...

I'm in X-wars with Matress. Some of our team members were having a disucssion about an enemy aliance member who has been raiding a few of our systems.. I made some comments and some actions that made a couple of them call me a Monster... I laughed and said yea.. I'm even more E-ville then matress.. which at the time he did not disagree with! lol

So after a few actions were set into motion.. well thats where it was hard earned.. lol

And now.. I have some really E-ville Ideas, I'm itching to get into pratice.. lol

Only the Gods can save my future victims.. lol and they are afraid! hehehe

I think it would calm our nerves more if you didn't behave... When a Romulan is behaving it's only because he is up to something and doesn't want to attract attention.
