In Reply to: Now the Board500 Questions for those still here. posted by Smalls on July 19, 2003 at 16:13:34:
: 1) What's your favorite thing about this place?
Oh, there are several things. I like many of the people, I like finding out about what's going on in the world of VA. I like it when I recommend something to someone and they like it, and I like it when that goes the other way around, too. And yeah, I get a rush out of seeing the reds come and hang out here. It makes me feel like we're valued and shit. ;-)
: 2) Why are you still here?
I wasn't - I went away. But I recently came back for the same reasons I've just mentioned.
: 3) Who that's left do you miss the most?
Isis, I think.
: 4) What's the funniest thing you've ever read here?
That thing that got re-posted yesterday, about People and Newbies, was pretty damned funny.
: 5) Who that's left do you miss the least?
No one specific.
: 6) What's your least favorite thing about this place?
How mean people can be for no apparent reason. Ever watch High Fidelity?
Lewis - You guys are snobs
Dick - No, we're not.
Lewis - No seriously, you guys are total elitists - You feel like the unappreciated scholars so you shit on the people who know less than you...
Barry, Dick, & Rob (in unison) - No!
Lewis - Which is everyone
Barry, Dick, & Rob (in unison) - Yes...
Lewis - It's just sad, that's all.
: 7) What reason would you ever have for leaving?
I got interested in something else, coupled with the fact that things were getting a bit repetitive around here. I suspect it'll happen again, at some point. But I doubt there'll be a point where I don't check in occasionally.
: 8) What's the saddest thing you've ever read here?
The death of Kevin's dad.
: 9) What haven't you asked Kevin yet that you've wanted to?
Actually, I very rarely pose questions directly here. Much as I did on the one occasion I met him, I tend to go non-verbal (in a text kinda way) when he's around. But the great thing about him is that usually, if someone asks him a question, he answers it. There's very little that I'd want to know that he hasn't already told us at some point.
: 10) What do you want to be remembered for on this board?
Coming out on top in a battle with Lynch? Honestly, I don't know. It'd just be nice if people remember me, period.
: 11) Will you be here in 3 years?
As a regular? Probably not. But who knows?
: 12) Tell me how you'd suggest this place to a friend.
I have, in the past. I don't know, I just kinda tell them about it, and how the reds come on to answer the questions we ask, and how some stupid flame battle might be going on that's ended up being funny, or how sometimes the polls can be really funny... It's not something I really put much thought into.
