We should create Tshirts for you guys(and girls) who make it this far 😛

Good idea, but

In reply to Happy decade!
most of us who have made it this far already have T-shirts, coffee mugs, and other assorted swag! All it takes is a bit of extra participation – submit some photos, hints or tips, video content, etc. (Sonja, I’m pitching for you here!)

Or have they?
“10 years, and still in one piece”possibly even the Santeewelding magic-8Ball. Ask a question, shake it and it answers you with another ambiguous question!
Brilliant.Do you feel, through your skills of survival, that you deserve a TR beret, 1st battalion long service award?

Gatherings

In reply to I’ve still got the dinosaurs
May be a good way to unofficially reward the long-time folks… It’d be nice if, next gathering, I could find the time and dollars to visit the US. I’ll bring Australian shirts to give out. Ha!
By dinosaurs, I *really* hope you mean Jurassic Park has already begun!

In reply to Gatherings
I’ve got ANOTHER movie to watch when I get home.
Sam Niell fights dinosaurs, so anything he says is law.
Now Sir Nielsen frolics with dinosaurs. You may not be in the SAME boat, but definitely in the neighboring boat as him. -

Nah, I still don’t think so.
by charliespencer · about 13 years, 10 months ago
In reply to One they havent’ thought of yet?
Since the membership rolls are rarely purged, there are probably hundreds of accounts from 1999 that are inactive. The staff doesn’t have time to review all of them for activity. Regardless of any proposed criteria to be considered ‘active’, some zombie member will scream when he doesn’t get his shirt.
Berets? I didn’t like them when I was in the Army (or any other headgear either).

Questions.
by charliespencer · about 13 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Congrats!!
I was looking for a solution to a problem, and a similar one in the Questions forum appeared as a Google result. I couldn’t tell you now any of the details. I think I lurked for a couple of months before actually joining, and for a couple of more before I posted anything. I really should go over to Questions more often.

What first brought him to TR?

It was WAY before 28.8, probably an AJ 103 Acoustic modem. (300 baud)
Yes, I had one in BBS days…

You know..it’s been nearly 8 years for me. It doesn’t seem that long.

“Not understanding the culture”
by charliespencer · about 13 years, 10 months ago
In reply to I had a similar reaction to alt.folklore.urban
That’s why I lurked for a while, and why I recommend others do the same on any site they’re new to. How many times have we seen someone jump in here and complain about off-topic posts, or not understand a post because it’s in the context of established personal relationships?

The ones who’ve been members for four or five years, but never paid attention before.
The ones I like are those who join to flame a discussion, then never post again until a similar discussion pops up, then they flame again and disappear until…
