I realised something not so long ago - 2006 is my fifth year of being a member here. I pretty much signed up right away, so there was no lurkage; still, five years, which, on the internet, is practically an eternity.

It's strange, of course. I think back to what I was doing five years ago, and it doesn't really seem all that long ago, but then I think about the site during that time, of all the changes and additions, moves, and of all the posters who've come and gone, the great threads and board crashes (okay, so it was only two), it seems suddenly a lot longer. (I even, freakishly, remember the first thread I ever posted in.)

What I'm trying to say is, Zeke, I'm awfully glad I stumbled across a quirkly little site called Five-Minute Voyager all those eons ago. These past five years here have been great, and I sincerely hope that I'm around to see another five.

Long live the fiver, and long live FiveMinute.net!! :D

[Celeste]

Here here! As the fifth person ever to sign up for the Fiveminute forums, and the starter of such widely renouned icons as "Cuter than this cat" and "Board at work fivers" I have to say, Zeke. My life would have been pretty different if I hadn't clicked a link that said Five Minute Voyager.

Cheers.

[e of pi]

Agreed. For example, I this wart once, and then I read all the Wars fivers and it went away. No, just kidding, but I love this place.

I pretty much signed up right away, so there was no lurkage; still, five years, which, on the internet, is practically an eternity. Not quite up with you, but it's been pretty close to four years since I first found my way to this place. Lurked for a bit, reading all the fivers that then existed, before I signed up, though -- this message board thing was pretty new to me at the time.

[PointyHairedJedi]

5M(V) has the distinction of being the first web board I ever posted on. In other words, Zeke is directly responsible for making the Internet a regular fixture for me.

Feel free to thank him all at once. :D

[e of pi]

Well, it was the second of my three. :oops: Yeah, I'm new.

[KillerGodMan]

This was the first forum I ever joined.

I only ever joined two (the other being the Irregular Webcomic! forums) but still...

I've only been around a year... but it was a crazy one...

Here's to even crazier times!

[Ginga]

Well, I'll always remember when I joined and how I didn't actually get my account validated for another month. XD

But if I hadn't, yes, I would've never gotten the chance to partake in this craziness. :3

[MaverickZer0]

5MV was my second serious message board.
The first no longer exists, and I'm glad, because it became a real wreck. Those in between don't bear thinking about, because they were ezBoards/Pokemon/both.
There was also that whole pretending to be a girl stint on VVS. I don't know. I still think I should've picked a different username.

[danieldoof]

this forum was the first I ever joined..... and I behave like it huh? ....firstly I was just lurking for maybe a year or so and then I finally made the decision to join the fellowship of the ri...erm I mean the pie

so here I am and it was a very good decision to join :D

[PointyHairedJedi]

There was also that whole pretending to be a girl stint on VVS. I don't know. I still think I should've picked a different username.
Sulu! You had a sex-change!

[Xeroc]

Congratulations, PHJ!


And although I've only been around for a year (fora) or two (reading fivers), I'd say this site really is one of the funniest, and definitely the most interesting community (and the one with the best sense of humor!) that I visit! :D

This reminds me of a Trek fanfic I once read where the crew of the enterprise is all converted to men (with Spock as the XYY alpha male). Let's just say, Uhura as a big angry black man is a wild, wild ride.

[Chancellor Valium]

Congratulations, PHJ.

"Go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in m- ooh! Pie!"

:mrgreen:

[e of pi]

I don't get it.

[Chancellor Valium]

I don't get it.

Read up on TV events of 1964, and you just might. Maybe.
:twisted:

[e of pi]

Gotcha.

[Opium]

I am also in agreement PointyHairedJedi :D

This wasn't the first forum I joined, but it is one of the coolest, and the only one from that era that I still post at, because it is so cool. And full of fun, long, rambling, goofy threads.

Five-Minute Forums is a great place just to hang out, with no maddening debates or complicated rules or structures.

Thanks Zeke!

[Chancellor Valium]

Having been here a year now, can I use the Long, Dim Wince Into The Past?

This was the second forum I joined. The first is now pretty much entirely dead (someone will arrive occasionally and stir things up, but nothing else really happens), and it is the one place on the internet that feels like home :)

[e of pi]

The other one I joined was from a site that I had found about the same time as Fm.net, but had less traffic so I felt more at home joining.

[KillerGodMan]

and you know... I never COULD figure out what the usergroups link near the top was for...

[PointyHairedJedi]

It's for baffling the uninitiated.

[Xeroc]

It's for baffling the uninitiated.
A worthy goal, Indeed! :D

[KillerGodMan]

also good for baffling the initiated too!

(also, figured it out)

Wow I am in awe! 8)

Welome to the fora, Delta Lurker!


Be sure to Have Fun and stop by the Weekend Chats Here (http://xeroc.zapto.org/chat/chat.php)!

[richardson]

ha-HAH! As a part-time lurker of approximately a year and a half, I am- *Sudden flying cow splats on him.*

Alright, who interrupted my evil shout!?? *Holds a saber of smiting, looking around evilly.*

[e of pi]

Would Delta Lurker be anything like Delta Source? Because if so, I don't think botanical members are welcome.

[Zeke]

"Botanical members"?

[e of pi]

Did anyone here read the Trawn trilogy. Yeesh.

[Chancellor Valium]

Did anyone here read the Trawn trilogy. Yeesh.

Yes. And stop discriminating against ents!

[richardson]

Yeah, leave the ents alone. Just because they're slow gives you no right to pick on 'em!

[Chancellor Valium]

Yeah, leave the ents alone. Just because they're slow gives you no right to pick on 'em!

Exactly! I know you're a little green around the ears, but still...

[e of pi]

Ents?

[mudshark]

Ents. (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/e/ents.html)

[e of pi]

Ah. Get it now. Ents are allowable.

[Chancellor Valium]

Ah. Get it now. Ents are allowable.

What about dryads?

[e of pi]

Them too, as long as they stay decent.

[Chancellor Valium]

hamadryads?

And what about Weed?

[e of pi]

Weed? Who? What?

[Chancellor Valium]

Click-o-meter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_and_ben) ;)

[e of pi]

Ah.

[Chancellor Valium]

Yes.

[e of pi]

Hmmmmm.

[Chancellor Valium]

Hmmmmm.

Quite.

[Xeroc]

Indeed.

[Chancellor Valium]

Indeed.

Wheeeeee!

[e of pi]

Hehehe

[richardson]

BAH!!!!

[e of pi]

You broke the cycle! Thou must be-eth punished.

[richardson]

exactly

[Xeroc]

Indubitably!

[Hejira]

Well, here we go. I come back and now Zuke is holding me hostage. Lovely.

...

No, it really is. He has cake.

[Zeke]

I wondered why you always seemed to be in there. Xeroc?

[Chancellor Valium]

BAH!!!!

Will you please STOP USING MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION MARKS! Everyone else obeys that rule, at least ;)

I don't mean to snap, but it is really beginning to wind me up.

[Xeroc]

I wondered why you always seemed to be in there. Xeroc?
Fixed!


It's another lousy ping-timeout-not-working bug.

[e of pi]

It's not a bug, it's a ping-timeout-not-working-feature

[Hejira]

Ah yes, freedom. Maybe next time I can get into chat, instead of just my name. ^_^

...

Hmm.

*taps fingers on desk*

Umm. Hmm.

Freedom's not what it's made out to be.

[Chancellor Valium]

Freedom's not what it's made out to be.

Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the land, Dennis Moore, Dennis Mo-- Sorry, thinking out loud...

[mudshark]

Your lupines, please!" (http://www.blakeneymanor.com/images/mpython/dennis.jpg)

[e of pi]

What the...?

[Chancellor Valium]

Your lupines, please!" (http://www.blakeneymanor.com/images/mpython/dennis.jpg)

What, the flowers?

[Lostoyannaya]

Your lupines, please!" (http://www.blakeneymanor.com/images/mpython/dennis.jpg)

Yes! Monty Python! Overreaction! *Calms down*.

"Gentlemen and ladies...your lupins!"

"Lupins?"

Umm...try here :: http://www.jumpstation.ca/recroom/comedy/python/dennis.html

It's Dennis Moore. You know...the floral Robin Hood.

~~Lostoyannaya

[Asky]

Wow...so absolutely nothing has changed over the last three months?

[Zeke]

Should it have?

[PointyHairedJedi]

Well, I got nibbled on by a pig yesterday, so that's certainly different.

[Chancellor Valium]

And how did you taste?

[catalina_marina]

Damn. What if I want to respond to the original topic of this thread? Is that allowed nowadays?

[Xeroc]

Damn. What if I want to respond to the original topic of this thread? Is that allowed nowadays?
Well, yes, but you need to file form XT-47 with the Topic Thread Agency in the Continuty Office, Building 42, at the Secondary Administrative Offices Station, in Siberia.

[catalina_marina]

Right. Never mind, I forgot what I was going to say anyway.

Except that I started at this forum, and from here, went everywhere else (like TrekBBS).

[mudshark]

Naaah, go ahead. Thread continuity is a fiction. :D

[PointyHairedJedi]

And how did you taste?

[catalina_marina]

I secretly already did. :wink:

[Chancellor Valium]

And how did you taste?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/PointyHairedJedi/psw/dbscap.jpg

Well, that would explain that. Try and make yourself taste less...tasty. I have been told by some cannibals that I taste rather like cyanide.

[PointyHairedJedi]

I expect you'd put them in a good mood afterwards though.

[Chancellor Valium]

Do you mean before or after I start jumping on their brains?

[PointyHairedJedi]

That would depend on whether you could get that far - I wouldn't fancy your chances against a load of Reavers, for instance. For one thing, you've never been a ballet dancer. :P

[Chancellor Valium]

Actually, I was :P
Second body for about ten years. Strange times...

[PointyHairedJedi]

...And now I'm going to forever more imagine you wearing a tutu and leotard as you post. Thankyou so very much for that particular mental image. I shall treasure it... always. :shock:

[Chancellor Valium]

...And now I'm going to forever more imagine you wearing a tutu and leotard as you post. Thankyou so very much for that particular mental image. I shall treasure it... always. :shock:

Actually, it was much more pseudo-post-modern ballet...

[PointyHairedJedi]

So you were naked? Great, that's even worse!

[Chancellor Valium]

So you were naked? Great, that's even worse!

That was four-thousand years ago! Of course not! Back then, you could be hanged for sneezing in public...

[PointyHairedJedi]

Ah, but at least you were allowed to show your noses, unlike a few centuries before that.

*Scrubs harder with the Brain Loofah*

Gyah! It's not helping!

[Chancellor Valium]

To the pure, all things are pure, Pointy :P
