Whats your claim to fame?

[Murph]

This thread is for the older members. Heres their chance to inflate their own egos.

I want to know what you have done to make this community a better place for us. What have you done to make this community grow and thrive?

Me? I havent done a damn thing. Srriez =/

[Vaarok]

Self talk to n00bs. Be nice to them. Answer foolish questions kindly and in detail.

[TechHArdy]

This should really be in GD.

I got us a 10x10 screen of sigma back in the day when we had nothing.

[sajuukar]

So it was U! LOL, I remember that... it was really dissapointing! I don't think I'm exacly famous, but if I were to be in the future, it would proly be 'cuz I invented a machine that allows you to slow down, or even freez time! :D

... or not

[bluevorlon]

Set course for GD Mistar Dyntheos, warp seven

"Hop Hop Hop"

:molle:

[Murph]

be serious please. I wont have this thread ruined by spurious posts made by people who are just bored okay?

PS: Thx blu I luff0r j00

[SquidDNA]

I.. brought my Biological skillz to enlighten cloning and evolution arguments.. maybe that doesn't count as helping..

Oh, but I won the first ever Omnislash Intellectual Bludgeoning Award.

[ceejayoz]

I helped make HWU... not sure if that's a good or a bad thing for the community, though ;)

[IgnusDei]

Gave the Art forums a shot in the arm, planning on creating the best damn mod for IC...maybe. :)

[Peregrine]

I was called the "Founder" of the "Relic Board REVOLUTION" back when the boards were hacked by amazingskills.

I also was one of the few members who argued against evolution and for Intelligent Design (Creation), and could hold my own against SquidDNA in those debates, as well as Omnislash, so long as he didnt reduce it to a flame war.

[SajuukCor]

Uploaded hundreds of shots of HW/HW:C because they're too damn pretty :hippy:

[oneredpanther]

hi wtf.
I wound everyone up for about half a year with amazingly out-of-hand spin-doctoring and rumour mongering for something mysterious called "Project Red". Which was delayed about 12 times and 3 months.

It then closed about 6 months after it opened. I'm sure it even got it's own dictionary entry as a synonym for excessive-hype.

As someone somewhere said on the boards - "They were doing a PRED".

I even encouraged skibb to admit that he was a homophobic dolt, live on IRC, infront of millions. (15 people).

And I made the "Relic Message Board" logo that appears at the top of every page on these forums ... which is pretty funky. so it deserved bold type.

And my real-life claim to fame (because we went round asking people this at a party last weekend, and I'm pretty proud) is that my Great Grandmother's Cousin is the writer Emily Bronte (http://www.emilybronte.org.uk/) of the Bronte Sisters. Which I suppose is teh win.

[Fallen-Solo-ATC]

be serious please. I wont have this thread ruined by spurious posts made by people who are just bored okay?

And what will you do if it is ruined?

[ionfish]

Said senseless posts (i.e. yours) will be deleted and the perpetrators (i.e. you) will be banned. :cylon:

Heh heh.. I think the furthest we ever got was agreeing to disagree. Or something to that extent.

[frstkor13]

Fallen Solo, do not post in this thread again.

[Steel Guy]

I have always been here, and I watch...

[Nova]

I used to participate in debate threads which would either degrade into falme wars or go in circles for 20 pages and get automaticly locked (there was a post cap on the old UBB), only to contiune with a second thread at which point every one got sick of the suject and never spoke of it agian. Those days have been mostly forgotten (luckally).

Ah, sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

[skywalker]

I started the "What happened to Project: Red" thread... not quite as old or famous as RTS!?!? etc, but still... it was a pretty funky adventure with commando squads and black holes....

[Soulblighter]

I lock threads.

Thread locked.

jk

In all honesty i really dont care what i am known for. As long as i stay in strong terms with my 'true' friends then i have accomplished my goal of what i would like to be known for. Those who do not fall into the above category can hate me all they want.



soul.
honesty, integrity, loyalty

[Dekzar]

I wrote Turanic! (Go read it in the Officers Lounge...please...I think I qualify as "unread"...go take a look...please...)

[Nova]

Soul......... unlocked a thread............... :blink:

My god, the end is near.

I think Soul is mostly known for only talking to people when he wants them to remain silent. I dont think he has ever lied, snapped or backstabbed anyone (he usually goes for the face).

[Tygre]

Soul keeps the boards clean...and keeps miscreants like me in check.

I wrote four relatively funny comics about the boards...and there should be more coming whenever I feel like it.

My ways have changed since my lamer newbie days all those (2)years ago...my posts actually have some content now. Usually. Possibly most improved...

I try to help and do good stuff when I can. Unfortunately, some of us are better at helping and being model boardies than others.

Bad :D

I took over KI... whereafter it slowly festered to this day.

[Walker]

OK, I'm rather a newbie here, but this Omnislash character intrigues me. Dyn mentions it in the rules. People drop the name everywhere. There was another one that Soulblighter mentioned the other day, began with S.

Who are/were these people? What happened to them?

[blackjack]

Sno.

Omni I know little about, but I do know that Sno was one hell of a character... he posted something like four(?) "Viva la revolution" threads that denounced the board system and called for anarchy :P

[Walker]

Really?

Sounds like things used to be more interesting then.

[reki]

omni was the reason athexx first made me a moderator. he used to

omnislash
all
his
arguments. and get into flamefests with everyone, so i kinda mocked his style in a get-down-&-dirty session with junkyard dawg in a thread about mac vs pcs. JD kinda owned me hard & ppl found it humorous, so i became a moderator and omnislash got banned again.

[Mac_Bug]

omfg Omnislash si my hero

[SquidDNA]

I remember counselling Mac_Bug on the proper way to argue..

[Mnementh]

I molested molle and got him to run the IRC server straight away instead of paying for one.

[frstkor13]

I act as a magnet which attracts the hatred from most of the morons in the HW community, thus saving the rest of you normal people from having to deal with the vermin since they are focused on me.

Soon I will know how to harness this energy and will supply a stable power source for the Guidestone.

It's a 2 step achievment.

[Harmanoff]

This thread makes me think of some old song that get's stuck in your head whenever you hear it.

[Tygre]

this song is only six words long...
this song is only six words long...
this song is only six words long...

[Dekzar]

I write Phantoms!

This song is only six words long...
Great, now that is playing through my head all day. Doggone it. :p
Oh, and thats 7 words...

[Shin]

I am the moving spirit of ||~TAOSP~||

[Mr.Popo]

I've been a dedicated spammer for about two years now, but I'd say I've come a long way from


hav u got six salvage corvettes? itll zap yer rus, but i think its werth it

Ah, the not so good old days.

[medamanx]

wow, the RB are finally back up...

anyhoo, id have to say making all those tight maps for HW and HW:C, and of course i added to the community when i launched HSA almost 2 years ago, thus providing the community with a place to come and stare at pixelicious screenies ever since... and on a side note, i was the 4th ever DP member and i also enjoyed the good ole days with sno... twas quite entertaining to read his posts... lastly, i cannot forget being on the HWU staff... :D

[reki]

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice.

I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently.

Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Two-Minute noodles in under sixty seconds.

I am an expert in stucco, a veteran of love, and an outlaw in Peru.

I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries.

When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I don't perspire.

I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail.

Last summer I toured Australia with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles.

Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.

I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket.

I have performed several covert operations with the CIA.

I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair.

While on vacation in New Zealand, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid.

I have a golf handicap of zero. I only drink black coffee.

Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.

I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven.

I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.


I am reki.

fear.

[sajuukar]

I may not be able to do all that, but I can do one thing that tops them all...
<Drumroll>
I can hop on one leg while holding a mechanical pencil in one had and an egg in the other!!!!!

You may say, "I can do that," but the question is, can you do in in a talent show?!?!?! Bwahahahaaha! :ninja:

Sry. Maybe I'm famous for my crazyness... or my near trancendance... or my ability to attract females... or my ridiculously fast sprinting speed... or my impeccable humbleness :D

:angel:

[Shin]

reki is my hero

[Æs Sídhe]

When I was 19 I made love with a Czechoslovakian gymnast 14 times over the course of a weekend...

Rudeness, illiteracy and profanity in one short sentence. Now that's a claim to fame:dunce:

[Murph]

yeah, I figured it would turn into a bullshit thread eventually but I dared to hope that there would be at least a few serious replies beforehand.

[Maverick_3058]

We need claims to fame...why?
People either know, or have heard exaggerated accounts about me, and vice versa. ;|

[x-crispy]

I am genius enough to know how to post on this forum.

[deadguy]

I met Jackie Chan.

[Maverick_3058]

oNG Jackie Chan's Australian???/:/

[zenogias]

Well, I've been here on the forums in various incarnations since 2000, so I guess I qualify as an old timer.

Claim-to-fame: I unintentional piss people off with every word I say, and sometime I do so intentionally.

I think I'm invisible, though.

[Ressev]

Golly, I have been around since HW came out... can't think of anything I could be famous for except, perhaps, for making long responses to certain topics of dubious nature and questionable motive... or was that Omnilash?

No. I am an old timer with no claim to fame. Personally, I like a low profile, keeps me from being lashed. :D

[Voidhawk]

Created the Simpsons Quote Thread, contributed over half of them and am the keeper of all 1600 of them.

[littlegreencube]

I seem to annoy ppl VERY often. I have no clue why.

[Xypher]

because you just do raWr!

BTW: i thought you left...

kthx :wave:

[Event-Horizon]

What is this thread about?

[bluevorlon]

With the emergence of Izzie, I feel compelled to post his own claim to fame in an attempt to enlighten those forum goers not acquainted with the tale.

Event Horizon annexed the 9th Strategic Battle Group in a single thread of pure comedic genius

[Dyntheos]

iz this thred is about


I want to know what you have done to make this community a better place for us. What have you done to make this community grow and thrive?

Apparently gymnists factor into this.

[Ara]

i survived a bunch of board changes and even more board wipes and still remember things from 3 years ago on IRC... i ignore the news and make pointless vb apps.
anyone know where my brain went? or my life for that matter?dont answer that ty in advance..

[Event-Horizon]

Oh yeah, that 9th thread was great! Is that thread still around?

Is that all I did? :/

Are you really that anxious to see me leave? Let's just drop the subject, k?

[Delphy]

I was the first to get a Kadeshi Swarmer in game, as well as the Derelict Drone Frigate. (models only)

I wrote the voice extraction tool, so we could hear the sounds.

I wrote a lot more tools that people use nowadays.

Just stuff really :)

[TheGunslinger]

My only claim to fame? Disappearing from the boards for months on end then coming back unexpectedly. Hey, blame my computer. It died quite horribly and I have to get my internet connection back, too. Gimme a month or two...

[Noname_MiB]

Ive been reduced to lurking about as the newer members swarm in ;)
Claim to fame? first to completely re-texture a ship (gave a resource collector kadishi skins, not an altogether hard thing to do now-a-days ;) ) Also run the Relic Board Archives holding all the sacred texts of ye olde forum, the site of which is in need of a major overhaul... meh, ill get it to later

*merges into the shadows from whenst he came, to lurk for another thousand years.... or whenever he gets bored...*

[Alpha_Monkey]

Just thought you'd like to know one of our most famous members is back...




SNO!
Check out the Newest Member bit...

[Noname_MiB]

Who are/were these people? What happened to them?
[shameful plug]
hehe if u want u can check out some of their posts at the archives in my sig. See what they were really like =)
[/shameful plug]

[Squiggle]

What have I done?
Hmm. Not too sure. Anyone?
I've been around since September 99. Yet done nothing to help my fellow boarder.

Becuase I'm an apathetic bitch. :dance:


(EDIT: Nice site redeisgn and forums, btw)

[Noname_MiB]

SQUIGGLE!!! YAY!!!!
