I think I can guess who one of those canine avatar people are (hint: they've already posted here), but who is the other?
You and Launcelot are the only ones who come to mind.

I'm trying to pinpoint the military leaderess. Boudica? She was a Briton, so primitive Welsh. Can't think of any French ones though... Anyone have Jeanne d'Arc as an avatar?
Damn, but, as I said, I was not sure if she was french...
Name seemed french though...

And come on, no-one gets the other canine avatar?
Don't disappoint me no.
My guess would be matt with his star fox avatar?

A cookie for you good sir, youa re the first one getting it right.

Another thread where people forget that derailing threads is against the rules.

OT: Congratulations on 400 posts! I remember my lurking days, those were better days.

Some of the insular ego stroking that goes around on this site is quite comical.

Wafflots.

Better watch your back.

Yeah, I hear that guy is awesome and that he is a kind and generous lover.
Oh you!

I love these forums also but I've not really been active the last month or so. I need to get back to the user groups. I'm missing my bros!

Can I be presumptuous and wonder out loud if I'm the Dark Souls person? (My avatar turned to broken and won't change to anything else, it makes me sad.) I mean, I'm not a girl, but I always roll female if a game will let me and Mirror's Edge is one of my favorite games. Anyway...

I was a lurker for quite some time, when Yahtzee's youtube videos eventually led me here. This is the first site I have joined and participated in, and I won't speak ill of the other sites that drove me away from joining them.

I like being here because it's relatively small and tight-knit. Each thread can expect the usual ensemble of lovely folks who either wish to generate some lols or have some really insightful commentary on the topic. For me, it's the difference between going to a lodge as compared to a bar, where at the bar it's a smorgasbord of people that can change day-to day and you can't anticipate what you're walking into.

I'll take the OT as a challenge and try to generate some insightful topics. All that said, I'm glad to have "met" many of you, and even the worst of times it's still an escapism of its own. Cheers and take care you wacky geeks : )

Oh, oh, my avatar is totally a werewolf.
Hooray, someone has paid attention to my meaningless existence!

Me, a dirty liar? Never.

400 posts, eh? I... almost remember when I had that amount. That was about, what, a year ago? Back when nobody would recognize me from thread to thread. :D

You're pretty much right, Rainbow Manatee. These forums love going through endless cycles of discussions and arguments that never seem to change anybody's minds and yet continue on regardless. It's a bit amusing, to be honest. I love reading through some of the more flame-y threads on a slow or boring day, they can get very entertaining.

Tis not my intention to crush your spirits, but on whether or not you are the one I referenced, I have to respectfully deny. It was Moonlight Butterfly whom I was referring to. But I like your username as well.

I've noticed you posting lately and gotta say, I freaking love your avatar. It makes me smile everytime I see it.
Thank you, I like it as well. Nothing like a rainbow manatee to brighten one's day.
Except one with a pun attached...

[sub][sub][sub]Joking of course.[/sub][/sub][/sub]

Yeah, it's a pretty fun forum. And a good way to kill some time on the 'net.
You better respect your elders, I have been on here longer than you and Daystar...
Now fetch me my cane.
But not longer than me *****. Fetch your own cane.

400. Woah that's a long time ago (for me). I still had Squall as my avatar, Daystar hadn't even joined, Loading Ready Run wasn't part of the site, Furburt and Demented Teddy were probably the biggest celebrities, maybe MaxtheReaper.

And of course, joining a forum group has suddenly boosted my post count way way up. I'll be there with Fappy and Daystar and Hazy and the rest of the big boys soon enough.

Did I ever invite you to the Brovengers?

If not, I can send you an invite if you want :D

Pfft. I've been here eighteen months longer than you, Calibanbutcher and just hit three hundred posts. You sir, are a lurking amateur.

And during that time, I have indeed read the same threads, arguments and witty pop-culture references many, many times. And yet, I still keep coming back, even if only to put my face up to the glass and look in.

Well I did already get invited to join the Injustice League...

You never did, but if it's all the same to you I'm good not being among the brovengers. I'm a free agent. Or more specifically a Lady Bits agent.

No, it's fine.

I didn't want to chat with you anyway...
