Back For Real?

[Medieval Bob]

So I was recently talking to Chruser about what to put on the portal, and I said that the only reason I was here in the first place was for the members. I never really held any interest in any of the special aspects really. The D2 stuff was useful now and again, and the RPG Maker stuff was interesting, but the real meat was in the general conversation. Much the same as before, when I try to read some of the stuff going on now, (Car stuff, lots of news, etc) I'm not really interested in any of it.

Anyway, I know a good number of those people are gone, and probably for good, but when I came "back" recently, I was surprised to see so many of the old regulars still around to some degree. Not to be elitist about it, I don't *dislike* any of the newer members. It's just that, over the time I spent here at Zelaron in the past, I grew to be friends (to a degree) with a lot of the members.

To the above points, I wanted to see what was going on with everyone, in hopes that maybe I could spark some interest (for myself and perhaps others that are drifting in and out of Zelaron currently) in what's going on here.

Sorry if I missed anybody. If you're not on that list then either you're not from the long long ago, or I missed you on accident (started the list from memory then skimmed the members list to try and fill in the blanks).

Anyhow, if you are on that list and are still here, what's up? What's been going on with you? How's stuff? etc. If you still talk to somebody that is on the list that isn't here anymore, what's up with him? What's been going on, etc. And to you newbies, hi2u too. Who are you? Why are you here? Who brought you here? Why did you stay?

I hope this can start a trend in bringing back the kind of activity (or perhaps just pointing it out to me, if it already exists) that we had back I was the Prince of Zelaron. If not... *shrug*

[Thanatos]

I *think* I count as oldschool. But yes, that is a pretty good list of people. I'd add a couple more like platnum, uncapped, slaynish, Senesia, Jessifer, silverjinx, but yeah you get the idea. People always stop by from now and again but nobody stays and becomes a consistent poster. Really wish kaos and Penny_Bags came back. Kaos is probably in jail, though, and Penny finally came out of the closet and moved to San Fran where his internet access takes a backseat to going to Starbucks, knitting, and of course, sucking cock.

So, there you have it.

[WetWired]

You ditched your old-school name, so you don't count as old-school :p

[Randuin]

Fuck, Sirpullido was funny as shit.

[!King_Amazon!]

Fuck, Sirpullido was funny as shit.

go back to arab and eat your fucking kitty

[Randuin]

Cats are delicious

[khwiii]

Sorry if I missed anybody. If you're not on that list then either you're not from the long long ago, or I missed you on accident (started the list from memory then skimmed the members list to try and fill in the blanks).

And I thought we were friends.... I also noticed one SJ wasn't on your list. ;)

[Thanatos]

You ditched your old-school name, so you don't count as old-school :p

[Willkillforfood]

I'm a junior at the University of Kentucky. I'm currently back home for Summer after completing my summer acc 301 class. Yea, I'm gonna be an accountant. Exciting, huh? :D I've got a girlfriend who is a Berliner. We've been together for 4.5 months. And ...yea, that's about it I guess. How're you?

[-Spector-]

I thought I was an "Old School Member" also, but apparently not. :(

[kockblocker1]

I originally came here for the great D2 info. I stayed on awhile because of the interesting people and conversations. Wow that was a long time ago lol

[Chruser]

Welcome back, kockblocker! What are you up to these days?

Oh yeah, for those of you who have mysteriously returned, don't miss out on the Zelaron MMORPG project:

http://zelaron.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=368

[JiN-RaiDeN]

Fuck this thread, son!

[Willkillforfood]

Oh No You Didin

[-Spector-]

Welcome back all!

[ZeroC0ol]

waaa, what the sh!t is thissssssssssssssssss thread?:P_

[Medieval Bob]

And I thought we were friends.... I also noticed one SJ wasn't on your list. ;)

Oh shit my bad khwiii. I put ya on there. And uh... ya.

You too spec

[sprigg]

Whew sooo... its been sooooooooooooooooooooo long SOCOM anyone? ^_^

Can't complain too much. I've been doing IT Consulting for about a year now. It's bullshit and lots of hours sometimes and boring the rest of the time, but it pays the bills (and does a damn good job at it too).

Other than that, not too much goin on. Been thinkin about getting a new house. I'd like somewhere a little more rural and maybe waterfront. It'll probably be a while before I sell this house though, so no rush.

Also, no. Accounting is not exciting.

[khwiii]

What'd you do, spam everyone on you AIM list to get these old members here today?

[Medieval Bob]

I haven't talked to anybody Zelaron-related today except Chruser. I guess they just smelled a thread with their names.

Actually, I have very few members' (new or old) AIMs.

[IronChefJapan]

WHATTT... I don't even remember creating a name here. Hah. So... anyone remember me? Care to give a refresher on what went down 6 years ago? :D

[!King_Amazon!]

Something's up here. Did you admins send out e-mails to everyone or something?

[WetWired]

Did you recieve one? Last I checked, you're part of everyone. It may have to do with the assumed coming announcement of a Diablo game.

[KagomJack]

If Lenny is on that list, I surely should be as well!

[WetWired]

Personally, I wouldn't consider Lenny an old-timer.

[Thanatos]

Explain a little more about what your job entails, if you would. I'm looking to go into a similar field this winter.

[badboy]

Wow, I totally forgot this forum existed, Hola! I'd say a TON in my life has changed since the last time I was on.

[alibambam]

Well im alibambam
i must be honest and tell that i forgot this site, because im on it for a long time

[Mantralord]

i'm older than john mccain

[morder]

Is this from Shadowbane or D2?

[Medieval Bob]

Personally, I wouldn't consider Lenny an old-timer.

Maybe I just thought Lenny was an old timer cuz he was so active some of the time I was here.

Shall we banish Lenny from the old timer's club?

[Lenny]

And I'm still incredibly active. :rolleyes:

If I go, then HoH should go, too - joined a few months earlier. That's right, I'm not going without taking a few people with me!

---

What would you count as being an "old-timer", anyway? I'm only two months off ascending into the Four Year Club. Saying that, though, my Longevity is pitiful compared to others. Fine, I'll see myself out. :(

[Thanatos]

Wow, I totally forgot this forum existed, Hola! I'd say a TON in my life has changed since the last time I was on.

I remember you. Of course this forum still exists.. where you been?

[WetWired]

The cut-off is probably arround Dec2003.

[Thanatos]

The cut-off is probably arround Dec2003.

WW said "arround." What a newb.

Then I definitely count as old-school, different name or not. And I like how Bob is completely ignoring all of my posts in this thread. lol

[Medieval Bob]

Sorry I didn't realize I had to reply to everyone's posts.

Hi there Thanatos. Sorry I didn't put Jizmo on that list. I'll get right to it.

[!King_Amazon!]

You're hurting his feelings bob.

[Medieval Bob]

Apparently.

[Thanatos]

Sorry I didn't realize I had to reply to everyone's posts.

Hi there Thanatos. Sorry I didn't put Jizmo on that list. I'll get right to it.

I actually wanted you to reply to this (http://zelaron.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46191&page=2#post642333) post. Just wanted to know a little more about your job description..

[Medieval Bob]

Ah I missed that one.

Anyway, it's hard to go into too much detail, because it is supposed to change regularly. The only thing that's constant (which is something I don't paticularly care for) is that we're supposed to constantly learn. They offer training meetings at the office multiple times a week, and we're generally expected to go to one or more (I don't go to any). They expect us to study for and take certification exams (most notably, the Microsoft ones). They pay for the exams and any study materials within reason provided we pass the tests.

Anyway, the point of all of this is that when clients have a need for a consultant with ______ skills, we're expected to have _______ skills. So the actual work varies depending on the client. Right now, I'm doing user acceptance testing, which is generally rather non-technical. "Does everything on this screen work like it's supposed to?" It gets a little more in depth than that when we have to go into calculations and such, but that's the jist.

In comparison, we've got a number of teams at a number of companies working with rather state of the art software. One that comes to mind is Biztalk. A lot of companies are starting to see the benefits of it, and it's rather intricate and difficult to implement and use correctly.

Then there's some people at the company that only do project management. So that will cover resource management, scheduling, planning, etc. Some people cover process improvement. Basically, we have a system set up where each consultant picks two areas they want to "specialize" in, and involvement stems from there.

Speaking of, we've got offices all over the country and the world. I can refer you if you're interested/(will) have a degree. Let me know if you want to check the company out.

[Thanatos]

Well, if you and Zelaron are still around in 4 years when I get my degree, I'll be sure to contact you lol. I really just want to go into an IT-related field. I feel like I've gained some knowledge about specific subjects since I've been employed at my current job. I've learned at least 5 different pieces of software and am fluent in each of them. I'm trying to get into the IT department here at this law firm before I enroll in school this fall. We'll see how it goes, though.

[Endurack]

I am back. Hello.

[NonGayMan]

Hello everyone. Nice to see you all!

[Thanatos]

Damn a lot of people are coming back! Now stay and post. :)

[khwiii]

Ok.. This is strange and fishy to me.

[badboy]

I remember you. Of course this forum still exists.. where you been?

I've been in the military.

[Willkillforfood]

What branch and have you been to the Middle East?

[Titusfied]

Quick synopsis of my life since I started Zelaron way back when:

Graduated college with BS in Electrical Engineering (Control Systems)
Received my MS in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems)
Have been working full time for 3.5 years (Utility Contractor now)
Moved to Florida for 2 years for work (Orlando 1 year, then Miami 1 year)
Work in PA now
Recently engaged to my bitch of 2.5 years
Bought a house
Bought a 2007 Infiniti G35
Recently bought a puppy - Red Miniature Pinscher named Talon

Now I'm just working, planning wedding bullshit, still drinking very heavily, and playing Guitar Hero a lot (I'm pretty fucking good now).

[Thanatos]

still drinking very heavily, and playing Guitar Hero a lot

We would get along in real life. Although I've found out drinking then playing Guitar Hero causes multiple outbursts and drunken rants from me.

[Titusfied]

Well, as you can imagine with all the shit I listed, that money is a little tight now. Now, I have a kegerator in my basement, an 8' x 7' wrap around bar, and a fridge recessed in the wall full of mixers and beer, and the bar is STOCKED with hard liquor. I pretty much live in the basement, drink all night and play GH3, so if that floats your boat, then yes, we'd get along IRL.

Oh, and Guitar Hero Aerosmith comes out Sunday.

You are a god.

[badboy]

I'm a Navy Corpsman, stuck in a hospital at a Marine Corp base in California. And no.

[blckshdwdragon]

I'm back. I remember most of you, but do you remember me?

If said Infiniti G35 is not a 6MT Coupe, then you fail...


...carry on.

[khwiii]

Totally remember you. You were an elite D2 PVPer. What do I win?

[!King_Amazon!]

I'm back. I remember most of you, but do you remember me?
Didn't you have some sort of family problems and you neglected them to play D2? I dunno, could be confusing you with someone else.

[badboy]

No, that wasn't me.

[!King_Amazon!]

I wasn't talking about or to you. That's why I quoted blckshdwdragon.

[badboy]

Oh, my mistake.

[blckshdwdragon]

Totally remember you. You were an elite D2 PVPer. What do I win?

You win my autograph and a cookie.

Didn't you have some sort of family problems and you neglected them to play D2? I dunno, could be confusing you with someone else.

Nope, wasn't me. I quit just before they implemented "grief."

[EevilJ]

Hello...


I'm back.

[Chruser]

Hello...


I'm back.


Welcome back! See you in 2012!

[jojo]

And The beat keeps running running! woot!

No need at all to quote the whole damn first post.

[Gsus]

I'm back. I remember most of you, but do you remember me?

Hah, what's up Bri... first time I post in like a year and your back too... Random.

Hello Zelaron... Been a while.... :o

[Ganga]

Bob and I are Facebook friends and he used to send me all these crazy stuff. At least he stopped now, so that's good. Anyone here rich and willing to invest in my business idea or stock fund? Anyway, glad too see so many old schoolers coming back here and say hi. I posted somewhere else that I am working for the gov, and right now I am at work, so I don't have much to say... yup.

[Gravitron]

Wee...this is so-so-so long ago...
I barely recall.
Much passed since.

Wow I didn`t notice this many people came back, although I pretty much just did too.

I never really held any interest in any of the special aspects really. The D2 stuff was useful now and again, and the RPG Maker stuff was interesting, but the real meat was in the general conversation.

Lol HandOfHeaven, Lenny, and Soverign were not from the long long ago there from the recent...sorry Lenny :(

Hello Zelaron... Been a while.... :o

Yo. Long time no see again

[Hellmonkeys]

Well, I decided to check my E-Mail today and saw a message related to this. So, hello all... it's been awhile. ;) I am a senior in college now and school has been quite the consumption of time over the last few years... Well, hope everyone is having fun.

[-Spector-]

You better return.

Fun enough, I suppose.

I'm so bawss I'm twice on that list.

I didn't know Titusfied was dead :((.

Well this is making me feel great about myself.
