I shall start here it seems :)

Hello, I'm Spacemania, but everyone just calls me Space for short. (yes, unique name, but it fits me XD). I'm a fun loving - straight shooting - talkative fellow who enjoys both a silly or serious conversation. I'm a rabid fan of the SJ Sharks (NHL - any fellow hockey fans out there?) and my current obsession in gaming is my drooling at the mouth waiting for Starcraft II to come out.

Anyways, I love the comic and have been following it for a few months now. Figured I'd join the forums and see how things went. Love to meet a few new people, perhaps add a couple regulars to my MSN list if things go well. :D I hope to have a good time, and look forward to meeting yall ^^

And, ironically enough, we used to spell Ebly's name Elby. I guess we're rubbing off on him. :lol:

Hmm. I'm in the dark too.

A quick google search decodes this as International Space Station. I'd support something like that. It sounds cool.

There's just -one- reason I don't like ds9.
The bloody Ferengi annoy me so much. U'x

Really? They were one of my favorite elements of the show! Course the Sisco / Dukat plotline from start to finish was epic genious. I loved it :)

Sisko and Dukat were fine but I was realllllllly turned away from the Ferengi.
That's all there is to it. Even if someone is meant to be annoying, that's not gonna stop me, you know, being annoyed by them.

thats a shame because it really was a good show. Got to the other side of the coin of the Star Trek world. The episode where Sisco tries to get the Romulans into the war has to be one of the best because it gets chilling, especially in what he says at the end.

oh no, I don't do spoilers in forums, you'll have to watch it yourself ;) Get Netflix and check out all of season 7. Its chuck full of epic goodness.

On that note, while your at it go watch the whole of Sci-Fi's Battlestar Galactica. Best show I have seen on TV - period.

Well, I don't mind missing it that much I guess. . x.
hahaha also, new or old battlestar galactica?
i've never really been a fan of sci fi in general so i don't really like either, it's just that i've always been around trekkies my whole life and parts of it rub off on me . x.

Both are good series quite honestly but for different reasons :) The new one though was totally cerebral and has some of the best writing I've ever seen.

Eww.
I know plenty of people who think overly cerebral writing to be a bad thing. It gets too caught up in itself and the exploration of human nature and philosophy, and it takes away from the fact that there are giant ships flying around blowing each other up yay.

Edit: What an unexpected subject for my 500th post.

When 500 is 15% of the forum's total posts, yes, I'd say it is something.

(I've got about 4%)

Congrats.

But no seriously I know, I'm used to post counts getting well over 10k. . x. Considering the age of this forum, the overall activity, and stuff like that, I think I'm doing juuuust fine.

Right, and if I were in the same time zone as everyone else, I'd be a lot further away from you to catch up to in the first place, hahaha. As it is I'm on the other side of the world, which kind of reduces the ability to reply quickly.

...But besides that, post count isn't really that important. I never did see why stuff like that matters, besides like, a record of how many times someone's posted which I'm not sure what you'd use for anyway besides determining other statistics which in turn don't really matter either. . x.

True. Try as we might in the end some guy who has far more time on their hands will always go banannas and rack up something insane (The forum where I have apx 18,000? Some dude is #1 with 71,717!).

In any case, do you have MSN? Were kinda racking up the replies here in one topic and since we seem to chat a lot to each other swapping MSN addys might be an idea? XD

. 3.
I talk to a total of seven different people on my MSN. It's not because of a lack of people I know, hell, i've got hundreds of people on my list, but it's because i don't let anyone actually talk to me on MSN unless they're in some kind of exclusive best friends club or something, hahaha.

PM's may help our blurry post problem, but it won't end it. But I suppose every bit helps.

And to that end, I want to chat toooooo...

Although, I wouldn't know what to talk about. Hmm. I'm much more of a "sit and listen" kinda guy; I usually don't add much into conversations unless I really know what I'm talking about...how I act on this forum is much different than others, where I just look or hardly ever post. My highest post count? Yer lookn' at it!

Blah Blah Blah, point is I wanna chat too. Don't care what about, but it's still fun to talk. Or listen. Either way.


*Ahem* Post count can loosely determine seniority among forum users. High post counts mean that the person has been around the block; that they've been around for a while, and that they contribute and have a strong presence in the community. And with basically no other stat to watch, post count is a good stat to track. Well, there's also join date, but nobody really looks at that...*shrugs* I don't know, there needs to be some stat which determines how active the person is...duh. Posts per day, in the person's profile...but bringing that to the little box next to our posts would be some unnecessary coding...

Or maybe perhaps I'm reading a bit too much into this...

Yeah, post counts do help establish a level of sinority, but it really needs to be compared with the persons registered date. The most veteran posters are balanced in terms of how long and how much and of course, quality. Spamming "GUrrrrrrrrrrr I agree dahhhh :D :D :D" in half of ones replies, has 10,000 posts and registered last week... that doesn't make them good posters, that makes them loosers without a life.

as for my point on having 18k posts, I've been on that other forum for YEARS and I had a lot to contribute there. Course am going to make a big deal bout 20,000 when I get it sometime this hockey season cause well... only like 60 of some 50,000 has done that and that's a pretty big deal o.o

Just wanted to emphasize this, yeah.

The top poster on all but two forums I'm on are really, really annoying and simply got there by spamming and having absolutely nothing else to do with their time.

Heh, for me, I didn't do to well in trig/stat, mainly because I really didn't try...It was strange. I understood and knew the concepts, and as a result, my good test results balanced out the fact that I did almost none of the homework... :lol:
