Where did the old timers go? Could it be that the question is no longer valid and should be rephrased to "Why have the old timers gone?" Who are these old timers "in absentia" anyway?

From a post in this thread by The_Fiend
Quote:
Someone get Neph, creaky, ddp and darthnip in here, so i can have another laugh...
I seem to recall that at least two of the names mentioned in the line above are "Old Timers," and they seem to have been absent when this thread ran so irreversibly off topic.


This is a line from the third post on this thread made by darthnip
Quote:
hopefully this one stays on track.
I suppose the term on track has to be redefined for it to continue on in its current direction, but then I'm just an observer.

Where did the old timers go!!

To quote Robert Frost in the short poem included below.


Quote:
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

"Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back."


Perhaps some of th "Old Timers" will return and perhaps some never will.

Then why such angst?

I don't know how long you've been here since I don't recall your AKA. When you take the time that you've been here, double it, and then add another year, you will have been here for as long as I have. Perhaps then you can return as an "Old Timer."

I'm curious! What have you added to the body of knowledge here?

Well, let's see, an exquisite knowledge of virtual breaking and entering, knowledge of modifying consoles for using backup copies of games, tons of trivia...
Some knowledge of the internals of windows and linux, and i have a knack for expressing myself in such a way that a ton of folks agree with me.
*either that, or i'm just right a lot, whichever come first*
And, i seem to be adept at insulting folks, and speaking my mind in a way that amuses the masses, and yet gets the point across.

WOW!!!!!

I was under the impression that this was a "Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening" thread. There didn't seem to be anything in the last 2-3 pages that was good imho. I think someone got what they deserved for sure. And I got a few laughs too. lol.

@Ripper and the others fielding this idiot,
Sorry you had to deal with that crap. Now on to the topic of this thread!!!!!

GOOD EVENING to all from Texas (evening here now....lol)

Hope you have a great weekend.

Yes he can be found there and never let this crap go on at either of those Forums. I have been here for quite a while and right now I am wondering where the real Old Timers are and why the only Mod here is DDP . where is Neph, Flip, Creaky, or Ireland or even Vurbal?

H*ll wheres "Orifice"
Thats when this place was fun and wholy educational. I dont ever remeber seeing so may banned people. I ve been coming here for years (lurker)4/2003 and I think even before then but changed email and was cancelled. Oh well, main thing this place used to be alot of education and fun without attitudes. Guess people move on, Web sites too.

cincyrob,
Whazzzuupppp rob??
Did you read the previous few pages. LMAO. I think you are right about the age of half of the members here. Not knocking the younger crowd but most of them aren't that mature. Not including you Ripper so don't get offended. lol.

And good evening to you!!
