Wow I never saw this thread :eek:

Thought it was best I came stuck my head in. Many of you won't recognise me as I'm almost exclusively in the hardware sections, GD is a little bit too crazy most of the time for me.

I look forward to helping out in hardware, and branching out into GD when I'm feeling brave.

Congratulations!

Makes me not the newest, so I am happy!

I am now wondering if more people will join the ranks, the dons outnumber the UB's still.

I'm the newbee now, I'll catch you on msn and catch up with what I'm meant to be doing

Which is a worrying indication of the direction this forum has taken. I've only been here three years and I've seen the shift from technology to spam.

Its cyclical. You haven't seen the worst points (Beaky and GDZ anyone?)

MindYerBeak led a campaign to split GD because he wanted a more mature discussion, but didn't want it to be as serious as SC.

Both were full of spam, but there was a flat cap/walking stick GD and a kiddie GD.

It was awful.

When was all this? My GD history is practically non-existant

I've got to get upto date with all this mustard, kill it with fire, punch it in the ovaries and whatnot.

Quite a few years back now. Maybe 3 or 4 at a guess.

Ahhhh a bit before my time then, can't believe I've only been here 2 and a bit years, seems a lot longer than that :confused:

Out of interest - how are we meant to respect somebody we hardly know the name of?

Respect isn't just about how well you know someone. I don't know anyone who has been awarded the Victoria Cross, does that mean I shouldn't have respect for those who have?

bad analogy

Victoria Cross winner = Underboss on a forum

Meet my Dad's Uncle, an Underboss if ever I knew one.

Good choice, Minstadave definitely knows his stuff. I like the new recruitment of technically-minded underbosses.

Maybe if you choose to interpret it in a certain way - I certainly never claimed that the two were one and the same thing, in fact I never even mentioned Underbosses or anything to do with an internet forum.

The point I was making is that the fact that you don't know someone doesn't mean that you shouldn't respect them. Or conversely, there may be people deserving of your respect who you don't know very well.
