Topic: Who are you?

And why are you here?
What other login names have you used either here, msn or anywhere else?

(yes i'm just being nosey...humour me k) :P

now that would be telling

I'm just Penny most places... sometimes Pennz, and way back in the early days (Like when I was 17) I was something else I aint telling anyone cos its kinda stupid now!

Hi Raine

Good question.

No to MSN.

Originally, I came to nzboards wondering what New Zealand was like and wanting to know a bit about the people.

I am really busy lately so I have not been posting. But I like the mix. So I post when I can.

And we love you ED! I have been missing your posts

It's good to have some intellectual meanderings on NZB once in a while.

Oh, and who am I?

I'm nobody really. I'm just one of the lost souls of NZB, wandering around, trying to appear useful.

I can be intellectual, honest I can! If i try hard enough!

We are we here, and we are we elsewhere ( that place that cannot be mentioned here )

Actually, I really am Ed and I am in San Francisco California.

I write code.

I am old.

I am not rich, most definately NOT.

I am a grandpa.

well the only ones i recognize from the other place that we're not allowed to mention (why is that btw???) are bluey and aquila.

wish these boards would spark up a bit, don't make me go begging to webby to let me back at that "other place". begging is soooo not cool!

the whole don't talk about the other place thing I think is more of tounge in cheek comments and things now. But when I first came here it was being mentioned all the time and there was negative stigma related to it, so it started just being called "the other place" and lets not talk about it, now I don't think it matters.

Yes Penny caught us.

There is no other place.

*clears throat*

Hello. My name is Sparklechick and I'm an nzb addict.

Oh? Wrong room? Riiiight ...

Anyhow, I was Absolutchick in a previous life.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooo are you?

Who who....who who?

*insert organ solo here*



I am Kall. I am here because, well..without me, this place would not exist (or would, but would be controlled by someone else, and probably not be quite as cool. )

The original idea of this place (well, the Kallboards, anyway) was to provide a place for people to chat and meet and be entertained WITHOUT the over-censorship and allowing of wankers to run riot....and to let people post in colour and use pictures and stuff. My desire to do this was made stronger when I was temp banned for 2 weeks for figuring out how to post in colour and letting a few others know.

As Penny says, the 'other place' thing came about from back in the day...when there was a bit of bad feeling caused by people being threatened with banning over there for mentioning this place...and I had worries about 'spies' and lurkers watching threads.

There was originally a filter in place, to change NZD into 'the other place', but I reached the point quite a while ago where I don't really mind if people call it by its proper name.

I was originally known as Kallisti, which is a Greek word meaning 'for the one who is prettiest', and comes from the Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. It was shortened to Kall at some point for some reason.

Perhaps becuase Kall is wayyyyy easier to spell and type

hehe, i still feel a tad guilty for starting all that and yet the guy who's profile was responsible for the whole thing was totally oblivious to it all; was only a couple of months ago that i told him about the huge uproar his colour profile had sparked.

*points*

YOU SEE?!?!?! It wasn't me that started it at all! I'm not going crazy!

*blush*

speaking of lurkers and such, seems we have a few of them on here each day. what parts of nzb can they access and read?

*lurked on the boards back then*

You know what I couldn't believe, was how excited everyone got about posting in colour. it was really funny to watch... hehe, and here you can choose from any colour you want pretty much and noone does...hehe

seee it is kind of cool you know
and you can do it in bold and italics and make it really really hard to read if you wanted to, but then people might just not read your posts.

If you want to see, just log out.

Whatever you can see then is what Guests can see.

yea penny i was thinking about that too and yet we never use it here. must have been the novelty plus excitement factor of doing something not alot of others could and doing something we knew we weren't suppose to be doing.

small things amuse our small minds.

ahh...ok kall. will try that at some stage but will prolly have to email admin for my password to get back in...lol!
