It's totally my fault. Ages back (I think it may have even been on the ezboard!) he had a sigpic of some scantily-clothed anime girl. And I was all, "Dude, c'mon, people can see that on my screen, and they'll think I'm looking at perverted things."

Ironically, his sig now is probably even worse, because it's animated, and bright pink, so it's drawing even 'more' attention. Eheheh.
I was here like 2 boards ago, I remember his sigs from there. And people always calling it "prowl's perverted sigpic" and stuff. :lol:

Ah! No, it was the Ikonboard, because that's when I joined up, then. 2002. Ye Gods, it's been a long time.

Shriek, talk to JT about changing your name. It takes admin to do that sort of thing.

And, yeah, let it be said again that JT is the guy who founded this board. So, let us all thank him.

Of course, they, and other potential malefactors, need to understand that JT, O86 and I are not going to be as tolerant as Ben Yee. None of us are ban happy or even trigger happy with out power. We want active posting and fun. But, some antics will not be tolderated.
Ok Stalin, geez! ;) Everybody is welcome, clean slate, they have to earn their failure here on its own merits rather than the past's.

onslaught86 wrote:Yeah, just want to get a new skin on the boards and a header image, really.. Just a few little touches to say "This took slightly more than five minutes to establish." Then mailing list ahoy.
At this point, I am pretty sure I'm going to modify this theme as its layout is clean and tight, it just needs our graphics and colors. I can code for the graphics and colors, but I am so burned out on coming up with them that you and the gang are going to have to come up with the ideas. And the ability to establish a forum in 5 minutes IS why this place exists at all. :mrgreen:

Skriek wrote:After reading through this thread, it ocurred to me that many people changed their names, is it possible for an admin to change my name? I use a different username these days, I just registered this one because I used to use it on the old BWTF board.
In general, I don't want to have a ton of names changing all the time, but if you have a name in mind and are sure of it, I'll change it this once.

Dominic wrote:I can ask JT about it. You might just want to start a new account though.
WTF? Don't go telling people to start 2 accounts! Especially since I set it to specifically DISALLOW that! :lol:

VBulletin, and it kicked ass, if I had $90 to play with, I'd have used that instead as it's a powerhouse.

Hey!

New guy here. Been a Transfan since 1984, and still collecting! My all time favorite TF is G1 Soundwave. I also like Wheeljack and Skywarp. Sometimes I post videos on youtube reviewing TF toys and episodes.
I can't think of anything else right now.

Let it be known that I hate video reviews with a passion. Especially that guy with the ZOMG HARDCORE tattoos on his fingers--that just makes him look like a douche.

will try to be more active on this one.
A fellow Doctor Who fan I take it? :mrgreen:

Don't feel bad about lack of activity... I registered at bwtf and then hardly posted anything for about four years before finally making it a regular stop.

I am ore of a Josip Tito than a Stalin, actually.

Sorry. I meant "delete your old account when it is still new, and then start another in its place." My fault.
